Plas Penucha, Caerwys.
This unique farmhouse has been in the family of the owner since it was built over four hundred years ago during the reign of Elizabeth I. Indeed, there was a house on this site even before that time. Over the centuries it has been substantially altered and improved, but the improvements have never detracted from the beauty of the house, and whilst there is every modern convenience for the visitor, as soon as you pass over the threshold you are wafted back many centuries.
The house is situated within 2˝ acres of garden which have a natural beauty throughout the seasons of the year and beyond them is surrounding farmland which, in turn, looks out towards the Clwydian Hills. The grounds contain a large rock garden and many species of rhododendron.
Plas Penucha is situated two miles from Caerwys, the smallest town in the country and the birthplace of the National Eisteddfod of Wales and six miles from Saint Asaph, with the smallest medieval Cathedral in the country.
It is an extremely convenient position for touring North Wales -
to the east are the cities of Chester and Liverpool together with the Wirral
Peninsula while in the opposite direction the whole of the North Wales coast,
the Snowdonia National Park, Anglesey, Llangollen and the Vale of Clwyd are all
within easy reach.
We are open to guests throughout the year and as members of the North Wales
Tourism Council, the standard of our accommodation is graded and verified
annually by the Welsh Tourist Board.
Nestling at the northern end of the Clwydian range, this beautifully converted and attractive cottage is ideally suited for those seeking a quiet, relaxing break or those eager to explore North Wales and Cheshire. This recently extended former dairy is fully self-contained with a living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. In addition, there is a private outside seating area leading off a conservatory, although guests are also welcome to make use of the outstanding and extensive gardens surrounding the main house which has been in the owner’s family since it was built over 400 years ago.
The cottage is 2 miles from Caerwys, the smallest town in the country and birthplace of the National Eisteddfod of Wales.
Beyond that, to the east, are the cities of Chester and Liverpool and the Wirral Peninsula; whilst, to the west, lies the North Wales coast, Snowdonia National Park and Anglesey.
The historic and picturesque towns of Llangollen, Denbigh and Ruthin and the Vale of Clwyd are all within easy reach as is Saint Asaph which has the country’s smallest medieval cathedral.
Local sporting facilities include swimming, horse riding, golf, walking (Offa’s Dyke is close) and various water pursuits on the nearby Brenig Reservoir.
