About Groes Lwyd

A charming stone detached farmhouse situated in the hamlet of Pencoed, two miles from the town of Corwen. This wonderful cottage is located in a slightly elevated position overlooking rolling Dee Valley countryside and the Berwyn Mountains beyond making it an excellent base for friends and families to explore this stunning area.

Groes Llwyd is generous in its proportions and provides excellent holiday accommodation with a well thought out interior with comfy furnishings and some wonderful features such as the quarry tiled flooring in the kitchen, exposed beams and stripped wood flooring. The beamed sitting room is light and bright with wonderful views.

The impressive inglenook fireplace is a wonderful attribute to the room and the addition of the woodburning stove ensures a warm and relaxing ambience, and with enough comfy seating for everyone is an ideal place to spend time relaxing at the end of a busy day. A second sitting room has been thought out with younger members of the family in mind, and is equipped with beanbags, TV/DVD, and a good selection of board games and puzzles, making it perfect for keeping those entertained when rain stops play in the garden.

The farmhouse-style kitchen is well equipped and with a large dining table provides a great place to enjoy family meals. There is also an extremely large and useful utility and drying room, ideal storage for bikes and wet weather gear.

Upstairs is the well-appointed family bathroom and four good sized bedrooms, all tastefully decorated and well presented. Two bedrooms are located at the front and enjoy lovely countryside views, both boasting a king-size bed with one benefitting from an en-suite shower room.

The two remaining bedrooms offer another king size bed with views over the garden and Berwyn Mountains and a twin bedroom to allow for flexible sleeping arrangements. On a warm summer day or evening you can enjoy your meal outside, or perhaps take afternoon tea on the lawn, whilst keeping a close eye on the children running around and enjoying the fresh air.

Groes Lwyd Reviews

Roisin
The property and amenities were wonderful. Kath and Michael were lovely hosts very informative and helpful. Would definitely recommend this property.
Brenda
What can I say, the cottage was amazing, as were the owners Kath and Mick. So helpful and thoughtful. On arrival there was a lovely welcome box, something for everyone, including the dogs. The cottage is very well presented with a spacious garden, the kids and dogs were very happy. First time away for Christmas, and was not disappointed. The whole family had a relaxing time away and would definitely visit again.
Kenneth
The house and the surrounding garden really and truly exceeded our expectation, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Only one point I would raise and possibly due to my age! I would prefer to have a handrail on both sides of the staircase and small handrails for the couple of steps leading from the bedrooms. This comment would however not stop me renting again.
Henrietta ie
Mick & Kath you are to be congratulated on an outstanding property. Position with beautiful views & lots of wildlife in the large enclosed garden. Squirrels, Pheasants, Nuthatch & Buzzards & Kites.Our dog Georgie thought this was great racing up & down the garden. The cottage was spotlessly clean. Bedrooms spacious & offering views. Large KitchenDiner overlooking busy bird feeders & garden. We enjoyed our stay having lovely meals out The Dovers Inn through Ruthin & passed the ALDI on the the way to Denbigh and The Grouse Inn Carrog. Could not wish for better hosts. Any problems or questions they were more than willing to help.Thankyou for letting us stay.
Barbara
A lovely spacious house, very well equipped and very comfortable. The owners are lovely and so helpful. Lots to see and do nearby but no need to go out, the garden and hot tub are wonderful!
Lovely large property, we were very comfortable and had everything we needed. The owners were very helpful.
We have stayed in many cottages but this has got to be one of the best by a long way. Everything was in the cottage that you could need with little extras to enhance your holiday. The property was clean and tidy with a lovely garden and hot tub too. The owners were amazing nothing was too much trouble and were there if you needed anything and so helpful. They also provided a lovely welcome pack which everyone enjoyed even the dog had treats. Once again a fabulous place and would recommend to anyone but, a massive thank you to the owners how made it even better
Tracey
Fantastic cottage with brilliant views and great owners who were so helpful. Our dog was very welcomed and settled in well. Hot tub was great for relaxing in the evening. Thanks again Kath, Mick and Bob the collie for a lovely holiday, hope to see you again!
We throughly enjoyed our stay here, the cottage was lovely and we would definitely come back again. It is in a great location with loads of places to visit within a short drive. The owners are nearby and are very helpful and friendly.

The best cottage and hosts weve ever had the pleasure of staying with.

Highly recommend this beautiful cottage! Probably one of my favourite trips and will definitely be returning. Owners were extremely helpful and are just next door. Lovely place to be in nature, truly enjoyed it! The cottage literally had everything we needed, very clean and practical place to stay. Thank you so much Kath & Mick!
Matthew
Great place to stay and does exactly what is advertised. Loved the garden and the hot tub in particular! Owners were very friendly and super helpful! We will definitely recommend this property and hope to be able to come back here sometime!
Great place to stay. Owners very helpful and pleasant. House was beautiful as was the scenery. Huge garden for the dogs to roam around in and hot tub was very relaxing.
Great location to get away from it all Owners are lovely and accommodating. The property is well maintained especially for such an old property. We were a party of 8 for which we found no issues with room even when the rain came. We highly l recommend and have no doubt we will be back.
Katrina
Fantastic cottage and hosts couldnt be anymore helpful We shall be back
Charlotte
Groes Lwyd is by far the nicest holiday cottage that we have stayed in and we go away several times a year! . The cottage is set in a beautiful location with stunning views and is equipped with everything you need and more! It has a very well equipped kitchen, 2 lounges with TV, books and games, log burning stove and the most comfortable beds! Add to all of this amazing hosts who are just next door but not intrusive, a very nice welcome pack and the log burning hot tub we had a super holiday and will return.
Lovely house, beautiful location. Kath and Mick really made us welcome. We all really enjoyed our week it just went to fast. The garden is perfect if you have dogs and the visiting wild life was a real joy to see. A very relaxing place thank you .
Beautiful property. Lovely and clean and very homely. Bedrooms are large with comfortable beds. Nice main bathroom & ensuite bathroom. Downstairs toilet as well. Huge kitchen with everything you need. Great facilities if you have dogs too. Hot tub was brilliant! Garden well maintained. The owners were lovely and very helpful. Definitely recommend people to stay in this lovely cottage.
The accommodation was lovely, well maintained, it had everything we needed and more, the only thing we had a problem with was the heating, it was quite cold in the property, would have liked a bit more warmth whether on a timer or whether we could have put it on more when we needed to.
Christopher
Stunning area, views that take your breath away from every window, lovely large, secure garden and the cottage was spacious yet very cosy. The house had everything you could possibly need, especially the kitchen. The excellent welcome pack was such a lovely touch with not only essentials, but a few treats too. Hot tub was lovely, very quick to get up to temperature. Kath and Mick were wonderful hosts, there if needed but not at all intrusive. Very welcoming, friendly and down to earth. I cannot recommend this place and hosts highly enough. We will definitely be returning.
Had a brilliant time, cottage was beautiful and the views were amazing. The cottage itself is stunning, and we loved the hot tub, especially the kids. Would definitely recommend and be returning, the hosts were also lovely and added little touches that made our holiday extra special. Thank you for having us!!
We have stayed in many a holiday cottage over the years and this was by and far one of the best we've ever stayed at. Lovely cottage, very spacious, superb locationviews and certainly the cleanest. Kath & Mick were brilliant and we couldn't have asked for more. We visited in the summer but can imagine that in the winter it would be wonderful place to stay. We aim to book again...
Excellent cottage and delightful garden with views of the Berwyn hills. The cottage has a lovely feel to it, and all the facilities you would expect. The garden is particularly attractive lots of sitting areas, BBQ, birdlife. Peaceful, fairly remote location, but in easy reach of Corwen. The owners live next door and were extremely helpful whenever needed. We hope to return.
Vishal
We had a great stay at Groes Lwyd. Our host Mick and Kath were very helpful . I will strongly recommend to anyone who is planning a visit to Wales to book Groes Lwyd without any doubt . The property is more than what is shown in the picture.
Lovely cottage in a fantastic location. We had a great family holiday and explored the local area. The cottage was immaculate and gave us all the space and peace we needed. The owners were lovely and couldnt do enough for us and were great to chat to. We will certainly be back.
What an amazing weekend we have all had. 7 of of us had the best time here, so relaxed, peaceful, perfect surroundings. We took our shopping and drinks and everything else was provided we did not want for anything. Perfect place to recharge your batteries with friends and family. The owners are the nicest people so helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend and we will 100 return x
Melissa
We could not fault our stay at all! The house was lovely, so homely and had everything we needed plus in such a beautiful setting too. Kath, Mick & Bob the dog were just lovely and welcoming and really considerate as kept Bob at a distance as we explained our dog was nervous. It was a 10 out of 10 from all 3 generations of our family and even Jasper 8 said We will come again! Thank you.
The house was clean, well equipped, warm and cosy! ! It was fantastic to stay there. Kath, Mick were fabulous hosts. Thank you!!xx
Jennifer
Thank you so much for the stay! The house was in a beautiful location, a lovely layout and decor, really comfortable, really practical. The hot tub was such a fantastic addition, and to top it all off Mick and Kath were lovely. A great break for us 8 girls!
Amazing place, amazing hosts and all the facilities you could need. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Robert
Fabulous location. Super helpful hosts, Kath, Mick and Bob the dog. We arrived late and the house was warm, dim lights on, with a welcome tray, a fabulous welcome after a long drive. Plus the hosts, had kept the hot tub all heated and waiting for us. The house was extremely clean and we loved all the books, maps, dvds and games in the snug. The hosts gave us recommendations on places to visit with our paddle boards. Highly recommend a stay here. X
