Tir y Coed Country House

A Historic Country House in the Conwy Valley

Tir y Coed is a beautiful, secluded country house in the delightful little village of Rowen, in the heart of the Conwy Valley near the walled town of Conwy. Set in lovely grounds with a sun terrace, a balcony and mountain views, it offers a refined, tranquil and genuinely welcoming retreat — equally good for couples wanting a peaceful escape and for exploring the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia) and the North Wales coast.

The house

Tir y Coed has seven en-suite bedrooms — including two suites and a ground-floor room for easier access — across a characterful historic country house. Many rooms make the most of the setting, with mountain views, and the house has a sun terrace and balcony to enjoy the surroundings. There is a fireplace for relaxed evenings, a guest bar on site, and the whole place has the calm, comfortable feel of a proper country retreat. Free WiFi and free on-site parking are provided, and pets are welcome (charges may apply).

What makes it special

It is the combination of a peaceful village setting, beautiful grounds and a warm, attentive welcome that sets Tir y Coed apart — reflected in its outstanding guest reviews. The pretty village of Rowen, regularly named among the loveliest in Wales, has a traditional village pub a few minutes’ walk away for an evening meal, while the house itself is a serene base to return to. For walkers, couples and anyone seeking quiet and comfort in the Conwy Valley, it is a real find.

Rowen and the Conwy Valley

Rowen is a charming, peaceful village set in the green and beautiful Conwy Valley, tucked beneath the hills on the western side of the river. The medieval walled town of Conwy, with its mighty UNESCO World Heritage castle, quay and the smallest house in Britain, is a short drive away, and the whole valley is a delight to explore.

Exploring the area

Tir y Coed is superbly placed for North Wales. The Victorian resort of Llandudno, with its promenade and the Great Orme, is just along the coast, while the world-famous Bodnant Garden lies a short drive up the valley. Inland, the mountains, lakes and waterfalls of Snowdonia begin only a few miles away, with Betws-y-Coed and the high passes within comfortable reach — and superb walking, including the open hills above Rowen itself, right on the doorstep.

Good to know

The Conwy Valley is one of the most beautiful and accessible parts of North Wales, and Rowen sits in a particularly lovely pocket of it, away from the main tourist routes yet within easy reach of the coast, the gardens and the high mountains alike. A historic country house with a guest bar, a ground-floor room and a genuine welcome for dogs is an unusually flexible and characterful base — equally suited to a romantic couple’s escape, a walking holiday or a peaceful retreat. The outstanding guest scores reflect the comfort and the care that go into it, and the village pub a short stroll away means you can leave the car and enjoy an evening out on foot. It is a lovely spot in every season.
