Spotlight on Retreats Group | Luxury hotels

Three award-winning sister properties on the Pembrokeshire coast near the cathedral city of St Davids (Tyddewi).

A consortia of three of the leading luxury hotels in Wales, The Retreats Group represents Twr y Felin Hotel, Roch Castle and Penrhiw Priory located on the St Davids peninsula in Pembrokeshire.

An eclectic collection of character boutique hotels with serious meeting and events credentials.

Twr y Felin, a former windmill and Wales’ first contemporary art hotel. Roch Castle, spectacular and dramatic, with panoramic views over the Preseli Hills and St Brides Bay. Penrhiw Priory, the definition of tranquillity nestled in acres of gardens.

First-timers, frequent meeting and event attendees will be impressed with all that this part of Wales has to offer.

The Pembrokeshire coastline is a fashionable destination. The stunning natural scenery and miles upon miles of coastline are almost a given. But neighbouring towns like Narbeth have given Pembrokeshire a culinary stamp of approval and food lovers flock here too.

Perfect for small groups and off-site meetings and get-away-from-it-all retreats.

Used together, the hotels provide a single meeting and event destination with increased capacity and more choice. Guests will appreciate the change of setting – and pace – for on-site and off-site activities. Retreat Group will appeal to attendees with exacting and sophisticated tastes.
