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.
