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. The cottage is ideally situated for walking with numerous walks, amidst scenic countryside, on the doorstep and the Brenig Way, a 32-mile circular route leading to Llyn Brenig is close by. Shops and pubs are available in both Corwen and Bala but if you fancy something a bit different, you can try a bison burger at Rhug Farm Estate just a couple of minutes’ drive down the road, an ideal place to stock up for that barbecue later on. Corwen is a superb hub for adrenalin-fueled adventure, from kayaking and whitewater rafting to mountain biking or a more relaxing day on the Corwen to Llangollen steam railway. There is also the Snowdonia Surf Centre, Zip World and Bounce Below on offer, just a short drive from the cottage. Climbing Mount Snowdon is a must with the views from the top being spectacular on a clear day, however if you’re not feeling that energetic, you could always take a more relaxing approach and let the Snowdon mountain railway take the strain. Whatever you choose to do for your holiday or short break, Groes Lwyd is a lovely welcoming home-from-home and is an excellent base for anytime of the year.
The tiny hamlet of Pencoed is situated between the towns of Corwen and Ruthin. Ruthin is a picturesque town, with attractive half-timbered buildings. There are many interesting shops and buildings, whilst the Nant Clwyd House, Ruthin Gaol and Ruthin Craft Centre, which houses work by internationally recognised artists and craftspeople, are also worth a visit. Beautiful countryside is on the doorstep in this area.

Reviews
This place is just pure heaven, friendly people great owners Mick and Kath, they can’t do enough to help you enjoy your stay in the cottage. This is year 4 of coming to the cottage and have just booked next year again so that should say all that needs to be said. Highly recommended to all to se the peaceful cottage, thanks to both of you for great time.
Had the most fantastic holiday at this wonderful cottage, Cath and Mick were absolutely amazing, wonderful people can't do enough to make our stay perfect, catered for our every need, they are highly professional and extremely accommodating. Returned home completely refreshed after having the most relaxing time as we've already booked for next year which will be a fifth year at this most perfect place and it's most warm and welcoming couple and that is Cath and Mick and the adorable Bob the dog. Perfection personified!
I'd avoid this place and not give your money to a rude, heartless, unreasonable, invasive, creepy and inhumane couple, who ruined my holiday. Definitely have secret cameras fitted. Very unwelcoming and unsettling environment.
Owners awful. Turning up at the house unannounced at 8am every morning to check the hot tub !!!!!!!! Where we being watched 24/7 ……….. Not recommended
A70th celebration absolutely ruined, these owners are not nice people. We had some really bad news before we left which meant we had one extra guest for one night, a child. I phoned ahead and explained that this would only be for one night, as we have relatives close by who could then accommodate the extra guest, the owners reluctantly agreed, but my stomach had already started to twist with the unemphatic response I had received, I also asked if there was a bbq available as it was predicted lovely weather, and said that family would be calling over to wish him well, they where not happy about this either. I also explained that we would be back for a funeral so would be leaving on Wednesday. (Not Friday). The friends who where coming over where pensioners in there 70s. On the first day, the owner arrived at the house unannounced, checking the hot tub at 8.00 am, this felt intrusive and set off our two small dogs. The wife walked past around 10.00am and their dog jumped over the fence scaring out two little dogs. We where then out all day arriving back at around 7.30pm. My father in laws best friend was there, he made a surprise visit in his camper van on their way down to Devon, he is also 70. BBQ and evening was lovely. The owners arrived 10.00am the next day and where on premises to check hot tub again ????? My father in law’s friends said good morning, he (owner) was extremely aggressive towards them, and by 10.40am we had a call from Sykes asking us to leave for over occupancy, theses pensioners stayed on the drive in a camper, the other guests went home as they had a designated driver. We had 7 people around for bbq in total which we advised about in advance. None of them stayed in the property) I felt uncomfortable whilst there and believe we where being watched.. you know that uneasy feeling in the pit of your stomach. Also no refund given but not surprising as the nature of these people. Sykes also advised me to take this matter up with civil courts.
Thank you Kath and Mick for a wonderful time. Lots of room for 8 of us. Lovely to have welcome pack for us and the dogs. Nightly drinks in the wood fired hot tub with a fab view. Lovely big garden for dogs and games. Comfy beds, loved seeing the birds on the bird feeder from kitchen window. Great location for walks and wild swimming, we hope to come again.
This is our 2nd stay here, and won’t be our last! The cottage is spacious yet cosy. We are a group of mums and daughters who have an annual weekend away, there are 7 of us and the cottage is perfect for our chilled weekend. The hot tub was a hit with the daughters, the mums enjoyed the peace whilst the daughters were out there! The owners are helpful yet unobtrusive, the garden is gorgeous with lots of partridges and other birds visiting us. Can’t wait for our next visit!
We had an amazing weekend staying at this cottage. The owners have created a lovely cosy feel to the cottage and there are lovely touches throughout, including an impressive welcome pack. The kitchen is extremely well equipped even providing the same Denby crockery that we have at home. The fully enclosed garden was perfect for our dog and there are benches dotted around the garden so you can make best use of the sun, not that we had much during our stay. We did use the wood burning hot tub which has fantastic views of the Berwyns. We had some great dog walks and paddle boarding nearby. I wish we could have stayed longer and will defiantly be coming back - it’s perfect
We visited for the weekend with friends. This place has everything you need and more, all the home comforts you need and lots of space inside and out. There was plenty of games to keep the children entertained in the evenings. The views are stunning. Would definitely recommend and hope to return soon.
What a great time we had in this fab property. Spacious rooms & large kitchen where we ate all our meals together. The games room had a large selection of books, games and DVDs which kept the kids happy. Beds very comfy and everywhere was spotlessly clean. Lovely garden with amazing views of the snowy hills. Welcome tray was excellent especially for late arrivals. Local info leaflets & menus very helpful. Would definitely return and highly recommend.
What a lovely cottage! I recently stayed at Groes Lwyd and loved it. Perfect location for trips to nearby tourist attractions. The cottage itself was perfect for us a family. Large loving room with a fire to keep us warm during our stay in snowy early Feb. The kitchen had enough space for us all and we ate families meals at the table. The small lounge was used as a kids entertainment room by use during our stay, perfect for the kids to watch dvds and play in safely. The gardens provided enough space for the kids to play, run around and enjoy the beautiful views of the Welsh countryside. We can't wait to return.
“What a gorgeous place! Very quiet, peaceful and idyllic! Beautiful character with wooden and tiled floors. Log burner in the lounge, big utility room, small lounge which we used as a “tech room” and set up the laptop and telescope, downstairs loo, beautiful kitchen (which is huge!), pantry, 4 bedrooms - 1 en suite, and family bathroom! Oak beams throughout! MASSIVE gardens! Kath and Mick (owners) left a massive welcome tray with tea, coffee, biscuits, pasta, bolognese sauce, and loads of beer! Beds freshly made, fluffy towels provided, laminated maps of local walks! LOVE this place!!” Kath and Mick are both really friendly and brilliant hosts!
Everything you could wish for in a home away from home. They have thought of everything. Beautifully appointed, great views and lovely garden..
We have stayed in many cottages over the years and this was amongst the very best.A large kitchen with a separate utility/boot room made this perfect for us and our two labradors.Two lounges,four bedrooms including an en suite and a magnificent garden too.Great location with so many walks close by as well as stunning lakes all within 20 mins max drive,plus much more. The owners are lovely and couldn't be more helpful. I would recommend this cottage without hesitation!
