Since then, the former hotel wing has undergone extensive works to be transformed into 7 boutique self catering cottages and 1 B&B suite.
Penrhos has an incredible recent history and has played host to rock legends such as Led Zeppelin and Queen, and is credited with being one of the rehearsal studios for Bohemian Rhapsody.

Lovely cottage and welcoming host

The cottage is lovely, the photos don’t do it justice. And the host is friendly, welcoming and helpful. Make sure you try breakfast in the on-site cafe!

About the host

Hosted by Host

We (Mark and Laura) first happened across Penrhos Court, an ancient wobbly timbered building, completely by accident in 2015.
You see, we were en route to view another old pile over the border in Wales. I (Laura) turned around at the right (?) moment and saw the tiniest section of roof emerging from the trees and brambles.
It took 8 or so months of our trying to push the old gal out of our minds before we relented, after all she was being advertised as a house with some 20 or so bedrooms and Mark quite rightly questioned "What on earth would we do with all those rooms?!" (Although quite possibly not in such polite terms!)
However it was too late, we were under the Penrhos spell and by January 2016, the deal was done and she became ours.

After some head scratching and lots of trips to the architect, it was decided that the long threshing barn, which was set out as a hotel (hence all those bedrooms) would make wonderful self catering holiday cottages.

So here we are, after lots of knocking about, a little bit of poorly chosen but sometimes necessary language and many, many wines consumed we finally got there and now it's time for our guests to enjoy the fruits of our labour...
