Beautiful Ancient Stone Cottage, Local Walks & Pub!

Pen-y-Bont is a tastefully restored, central heated, c16 detached traditional river stone hicottage.

We have super fast broadband, Prime Video, Disney+ and more than 50 great DVDs & BlueRays :)

Set in the picturesque village of Rowen at the heart of the Conwy Valley, in the Snowdonia National Park. A secluded riverside location that is only few minutes walk of a lively, award-winning traditional pub, serving great food and beer alongside a good wine & spirits selection with Welsh singing on mort Froday nights - not to be missed!

Hygiene is paramount and wherever possible we use environmentally friendly products - usually Method and Ecover - for sanitising the property, for your hand wash and dishwasher tablets.

Harrison Spinks super king beds in both bedrooms, both with high thread-count bedding, and the bed settee has a duck down topper for your extra comfort.

The Victorian style bathroom has a drench shower and extra body washing shower head.

The kitchen is Italian oak & granite with a range cooker and a good sized fridge freezer.

The thick river stone walls keep the cottage cool in summer whilst the central heating and log combined with double glazed windows keep it warm in winter. Moreover, the main room has three electric Velux windows which provide a breath of fresh air at the touch of a button.

To the front we have a cottage garden where you will find a bistro table & chairs where you can take morning sun with the soundtrack of the river in the background. To the rear we have a split level terrace with a BBQ and two seating areas (one with a 3M tilting parasol), and evening sun.

If you're feeling energetic the area is a walker's paradise with all the majestic peaks of North Wales within close proximity & ancient Roman paths and the multi-award winning Bodnant Garden (Owned by the National Trust and one of the most spectacular and admired botanical gardens in Europe) right on your doorstep, along with numerous Blue Flag beaches.

There are a wealth of other activities within close proximity, including Conwy Castle, the World's longest zip-wire, surfing or for those rainy days there's Go Below. For great views get a cable car up the Great Orme, visit the Welsh Mountain Zoo or try the Snowdon Mountain Railway.

Please note that we give one bed per two people. If you are two people requiring two beds or three people requiring 3 beds then there will be an extra charge of £10 per night.

Glorious, historic cottage in fabulous village
Oh my, what a fabulous cottage this is! We feel humbled to have stayed in Pen-y-Bont for a glorious week in December. This classic Welsh cottage is lovingly restored, large, clean, and well furnished. The kitchen had everything we needed. The shower was warm and wonderful. The fireplace was cozy and took the last bit of chill out of the air. And the bed was super comfortable. Can't wait to come back in the summer! We loved being in Rowen and got to know several folks as we visited the Ty Gwyn pub (just a stone's throw from the cottage). Lots to do in the area, including castles, woolen mills, restaurants (great gluten-free fish and chips in both Conwy and Llanwrst), seaside, and so many fabulous hikes! You must hike up to the 13th century church! We have traveled to many locations all over the world, and our visit to Pen-y-Bont and Rowen will be cherished for a lifetime.

Wonderful week in this special place
Not sure if you could come up with a more wonderful location to have this two room house. The walk over the bridge that goes over the steam is as beautiful as it comes. All of the fixtures are very up to date. The beds were fantastic. If you want peaceful this is the place. We loved every minute of our stay.

Beautiful week away
We had a lovely time at Paul's cottage. The location was idyllic and our 2 year old loved splashing in the river at the bottom of the path! The pub was really friendly too, we managed to stop off after a walk for a pint in the sun. The details of the local walks were a great touch. We found there was so much to do within a short drive that its become our favourite UK staycation destination so far!

A great central location to visit northern wales.
The property was beautiful and well kept up. The location is picturesque. The house is well equipped. We stayed during the week so the pub is closed on mondays and doesn’t serve food until wednesdays so keep that in mind. Conwy is close in case you need a late dinner. Overall a great place to stay and we would definitely stay again. Paul was great answering a few questions I had quickly.

Beautifully renovated cottage
This former tearoom has been carefully and tastefully converted into a beautiful, well equipped cottage. The village of Rowen is stunning, and there is so much to see and do in the locality that our three night stay was far too short.

Comfortable cosy, well equipped, cottage in stunning surroundings. Kind and generous host.
We had such a lovely stay in Paul's cottage. It was the perfect holiday base for us. It was warm and cosy, lovely wood burner. Games, jigsaws and dvds for the rainy days. Kitchen was exceptionally well equipped. Comfortable beds and everywhere spotlessly clean. A welcome gift was a generous surprise on arrival. We loved the location, just 10 minutes to the beautiful sandy beaches, the town of Conwy, stunning walks on the doorstep. Paul also went out of his way to return our son's cuddly toy we left behind. Thank you. We highly recommend Paul's cottage and will be back.

A gem of a property in an idyllic location. Friendly locals, beautiful walks from the door step and every need catered for within the walls of this stunning cottage. I almost don't want to say anything more, because I would like to keep the cottage a secret - that's how good it is!
