About Pen Y Banc

Perched on a mountainside smallholding at the edge of Clocaenog Forest, this adults-only retreat offers one beautifully refurbished touring caravan with truly spectacular views across the North Wales peaks. The accommodation feels surprisingly spacious, with a separate bedroom sporting a super-kingsize bed, a well-equipped kitchen, and a cosy lounge warmed by a log burner – perfect for those inevitable chilly evenings. Being fully off-grid thanks to an impressive solar power system, it's an excellent choice for eco-conscious couples seeking peace and proper remoteness.

Outside, a firepit provides the ideal spot for fireside suppers under the stars, while the surrounding forest and mountains deliver endless walking, mountain biking and wildlife-watching opportunities. The nearby pub serves delicious Sunday roasts and hearty portions that guests rave about, offering warm hospitality when you fancy a night off cooking. It's a winning formula for anyone craving adventure by day and total tranquillity by night.

Such a lovely time spent here. The food is so tasty and well presented! We had our dog with us and sat in the bar area which was still lovely. The staff are amazing and loved our dog. The atmosphere is lush and I’d recommend this place to everyone!

We had an excellent meal here during the week. We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children) who had 4 different meals, all of which were excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive and efficient. I thoroughly recommend here. You might want to book in advance as it got busier the longer we were there.

I was very fortunate to have a lunch date at this wonderful restaurant on Sunday. From the moment you entered you felt a warm and friendly vibe. Staff greet you with a warm welcome. The setting is idyllic and the autumnal views into the garden are magical. Our server Kai G is a credit to the team. Whilst I waited for my partner I had a Guinness poured by a barman from Queensland. He was very jovial and informative of local dark ales that are served. A log fire created the perfect ambiance and we were seated by Kai G. The menu is extensive. We ordered the beef salad, calamari and lamb shoulder roast dinner. The food was delicious and all cooked to perfection. The gravy, roasties and seasonal vegetables were all a delight. The lamb was melt in your mouth perfection. The portions were hearty, wholesome and nothing was wasted. Kai G was attentive, charming and very professional. No service charge is included in the bill, however I tipped to show my gratitude. Highly recommended.

Very classy and comfortable surroundings. Friendly, helpful staff. Very little for vegans, one starter option (spiced cauliflower and lentil pie) and one main course (beetroot risotto kiev). Different members of our party had them both, and both very nice. I also had a vegan tart with sorbet, again, very nice.
