Corwen Old Police Station is perfectly located in the centre of Corwen, with the chip shop etc just across the road. Its an easy 1 hour drive to many destinations including the north wales coast ( Conwy, Bangor,Penrhyn) , Snowdon, Harlech etc. Check in was quick and easy as Ian was awaiting us on arrival. The accommodation was top notch and spotlesRead moresly clean. Just to note, the driveway is tight if you have a large car. There is a car park just behind the property with EV chargers. Hide

The property is simply outstanding, the original features of the building itself are magnificent but the finish, dressing and presentation of this property are simply outstanding. It is spotlessly clean, facilities are fabulous, the attention to detail amazing and the owner couldn't be more helpful. The only thing to be improved was the weather!
