The hotel's setting is superb. Maes-y-Neuadd ('The mansion in the meadow') stands in 71/2 acres of landscaped lawns, orchard and paddock on a wooded hillside high above the waters of Tremadog Bay. Snowdonia's grandeur is right on the doorstep and Harlech, with its mighty castle and famous Royal St David's golf links, is but 3 miles away. Maes-y-Neuadd's sense of permanence and strong character come from its great age. Solidly built of Welsh granite and slate, it dates from the 14th century with 16th- and 18th-century additions. All modern comforts have been blended into a historic fabric that includes an inglenook fireplace, decorated plasterwork and oak beams. Each bedroom is individually designed and equipped to the highest standards. Special mention must be made of the food &endash; Maes-y-Neuadd's skilfully prepared, imaginative cuisine, which combines French, Welsh and English influences, has won high praise in the leading food guides and makes good use of the hotel's outstanding kitchen garden and herb garden. Your hosts and resident owners &endash; Lynn and Peter Jackson and Doreen and Peter Payne &endash; offer friendly, individual attention at all times. The hotel's reputation for good food has led to an imaginative joint venture with the nearby Ffestiniog Railway. ''Steam and Cuisine' trips for groups combine fine dining with a ride on the scenic narrow-gauge line which runs into the mountains from Porthmadog.
