The Groes Inn, has been named by The Independent as one of the fifty best hotels in Britain.
Put together by a panel which includes Alistair Sawday, renowned hotel critic and travel writer, and Peter Brown, Associate Editor at Conde Nast Traveller magazine, the guide to the top fifty separates hotels into the Luxury, Luxury on a Budget, Family-Friendly, Green, Foodie and One of a Kind categories.
The Groes is named within the One of a Kind category, and describes its fourteen bedrooms as “far posher than those of the average pub”, and also picks out the Groes-owned High Cabin, a retreat set high in the hills above the Conwy Valley, calling it “possibly the best log cabin in Britain.”
“We’re delighted with such a commendation” said owner of The Groes Inn, Justin Humphreys. We have a great team here at The Groes, and pride ourselves in offering a very warm welcome, excellent accommodation, and superb food.”
It’s this combination which has led to a bumper 2009 for The Groes, despite the troubled UK economy. Not only was it awarded the title “Inn of the Year” and “Wales’ National Dining Pub of the Year” by The Good Pub Guide, but also launched its own Groes Ale, much to the delight of Real Ale lovers around the UK.
