St Brides Spa Hotel in Saundersfoot has been named Hotel of the Year 2026 at Visit Pembrokeshire’s Croeso Awards, while Roch Castle won the award for Best B&B, Inn & Guesthouse.

Both venues are part of The Celtic Collection, which was named Hotel Group of the Year at the AA Hospitality Awards in September.

St Brides was recognised for the refurbishment programme carried out since the Collection began managing the hotel for its owners, the Port of Milford Haven, in 2024.

Roch Castle, where The Celtic Collection partners with Retreats Group, was recognised for its boutique B&B accommodation in a restored 12th-century Norman fortress.

The Collection’s culinary and restaurant teams also helped Pembrokeshire College students prepare for and deliver the awards ceremony through a mentoring programme.

Julie Hammond, Chief Executive of The Celtic Collection, said: “We are absolutely delighted to win these awards and congratulations to the teams at St Brides and Roch Castle whose commitment and dedication make this recognition possible.”

“These awards shine a light on the incredible hospitality we have in West Wales and the people who work hard every day to give visitors a reason to choose Pembrokeshire and Wales.”

Emma Thornton, Chief Executive of Visit Pembrokeshire, said: “The Croeso Awards are an opportunity to recognise the hard work, creativity and care that go into welcoming visitors to Pembrokeshire”.

The group’s Celtic Manor Resort has also won Best UK Hotel at both the Meetings & Incentive Travel and the Conference & Incentive Travel Awards.
