Glyn Isa Lodge

A peaceful lodge for two in the Conwy Valley

Glyn Isa Lodge is a detached, ground-floor self-catering lodge set within the private grounds of Glyn Isa Country House, near the pretty village of Rowen in the Conwy Valley. Sleeping two, it is designed as a peaceful retreat for a couple — tucked into ten acres of mature gardens and quiet countryside in the foothills of Eryri (Snowdonia), yet only a short drive from the medieval walled town of Conwy and the coast. It is an ideal choice for a romantic break or a restful escape.

The lodge

The lodge is a one-bedroom, ground-floor retreat, well suited to couples who want everything on one level. It enjoys mountain views over the surrounding valley and the privacy of its own setting within the estate’s grounds. As a self-contained, self-catering base, it gives you the freedom to come and go at your own pace and enjoy the peace of the countryside around you. Please note the lodge is an adults-only retreat — children and pets are not accepted — which helps keep the setting calm and quiet.

The setting

What makes Glyn Isa special is its location: ten acres of mature gardens and countryside, with the village pubs of Rowen just a mile away and the whole of the Conwy Valley on the doorstep. Free Wi-Fi is available in most areas, so you can stay connected if you need to, but the real appeal is the quiet — birdsong, greenery and mountain views.

Exploring the Conwy Valley

The Conwy Valley is one of the loveliest gateways to Snowdonia, where green farmland and woodland meet the rising mountains. Rowen itself is a postcard village with traditional pubs just a mile away. Within easy reach lies the world-famous Bodnant Garden, with its laburnum arch and sweeping views, and the medieval walled town of Conwy — around four miles away — with its mighty UNESCO World Heritage castle, the quay and the smallest house in Great Britain. The seaside resort of Llandudno and the high peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia) are also close at hand. For more places to stay along this coast, see our guide to accommodation in Conwy.

Days out from the lodge

The Conwy Valley is wonderfully placed for both coast and mountains. Within a short drive you can walk the full circuit of Conwy’s medieval town walls, explore the harbour and the castle, or follow the Conwy Valley railway line up towards Betws-y-Coed, the pretty “gateway to Snowdonia” with its shops, waterfalls and the Swallow Falls nearby. Garden lovers should not miss Bodnant, one of the great gardens of Britain, while the seaside resort of Llandudno offers its Victorian pier, the Great Orme tramway and a sweeping bay. Closer to home, the lanes and hills around Rowen make for gentle walks straight from the door, with the higher Carneddau mountains rising beyond for the more adventurous.
