The new cafe at Plas Glyn y Weddw is now an award winning structure. On Friday the 10th of November the cafe won the prestigious 'Little Gem' award at the Royal Fine Arts Commission Trust Building Beauty Awards Ceremony in London.

The artistic genius behind the design Matt Sanderson was accompanied by Austen Cook of Fold Engineering and Seb Walker from Mark Wray Architects to receive the award in person from renowned poet Sir Ben Okri.

The awards were sponsored by the Ballymore Group and we would like to thank the panel of judges for choosing our cafe for the Littlegemaward.
