BROADLEAF FLOORS THE STUNNING HAMMET HOUSE HOTEL

A spectacular refurbishment of luxury country house hotel Hammet House, Pembrokeshire, has used Broadleaf’s stunning Dark Brushed & Burned Oak flooring throughout the ground floor.

BROADLEAF FLOORS THE STUNNING HAMMET HOUSE HOTEL

This historic Georgian property, located on the Pembrokeshire Ceredigion border, has undergone a total transformation, with the beautiful Brushed & Burned boards providing the perfect platform to highlight the modern design classics throughout the bar, drawing room & dining room. A bespoke variation of Broadleaf Dark Oak successfully marries the period architecture and contemporary furnishings of the refurbished bedrooms.

Owner Philippa Gale says “We are absolutely bowled over by how well the new wood flooring sits within the hotel. We chose Broadleaf’s Brushed & Burned Oak flooring as it was as close to the surviving bits of original floors here as we could find, most of which had been ripped out. People coming in to the hotel usually think the oak flooring is original, and are amazed when we tell them it has been newly laid. It provides the perfect link between the Georgian architecture of the house & the contemporary interior design scheme and it is also great to know that all the wood flooring has been responsibly sourced & locally manufactured here in Wales”.

Broadleaf also created a stunning designer floor for the hotel’s impressive ballroom and wedding suite. The brief was for a feature floor which, in line with the rest of the restoration, respected the architecture of the Georgian building but served as a foundation for contemporary design. It also had to be hard wearing and practical given that hundreds of people would walk and dance on it weekend after weekend. Broadleaf’s solution was to use their authentically distressed Vintage Parquet flooring to create a floor was an instant years old feel, in a mix of traditional shades punctuated with the hallmark grey of the Hammet interiors. The result was “a resounding success that has been a real selling point for the venue”.
