Glyn Isa Historic B&B Accommodation

A country house with self-catering accommodation in the Conwy Valley

Glyn Isa is a characterful country house at Rowen, set in ten acres of mature gardens and peaceful countryside in the beautiful Conwy Valley, within the foothills of Eryri (Snowdonia). It offers individual self-catering properties for a quiet, grown-up break, with mountain and orchard views all around and the coast, the castle town of Conwy and the mountains all within easy reach.

The accommodation

Glyn Isa provides three distinct self-catering properties to suit different parties: The Lodge (one bedroom), The Coach House (two bedrooms) and The Stables Cottage (two en-suite bedrooms, with original oak beams and a conservatory). Each makes a comfortable, characterful base, and guests enjoy the gardens with their lovely mountain and orchard views. Free WiFi is available in most areas. This is a calm, adults-and-couples retreat — the owners note that it is not suitable for children or pets — and they encourage guests to book direct.

Setting

The house sits in ten acres of grounds at Rowen, roughly four miles from Conwy, in a genuinely peaceful spot beneath the Carneddau mountains. It is the kind of place to slow down — wander the gardens, walk straight out into the hills, and enjoy the quiet of one of North Wales’s loveliest valleys, while still being a short drive from the coast and the area’s headline sights.

Rowen and the Conwy Valley

Rowen is one of the prettiest villages in the Conwy Valley, a quiet cluster of stone cottages with a village pub, set into the slopes of the Carneddau. The valley is green and gentle along its floor and wonderfully wild on the tops, making it a favourite with walkers, while the coast and the main attractions are only a short drive away.

Days out from Glyn Isa

From this peaceful base the whole of north-west Wales opens up. The medieval walled town of Conwy, with its UNESCO World Heritage castle, the quay and the smallest house in Britain, is a short drive, as is the Victorian resort of Llandudno with its pier and the Great Orme. The world-famous Bodnant Garden lies just along the valley, and walkers have the Carneddau and the wider peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia) on the doorstep. Gardeners, hill-walkers and anyone after peace and quiet will find plenty to fill a week here.
