Corwen Manor Cafe in Denbighshire

When we are in Corwen we always seem to be drawn back to the Workhouse for a drink before we explore the adjacent well stocked shop inside the old building. Beverages and food are at a reasonable price and the staff friendly and efficient; so when in the area we will call once more.

came here with a pack of nine. the cakes, tea and scone was nice although there was only two scones left.

Hubby and me visited Corwen yesterday (Wednesday). We managed to park easily. The public toilets now cost 30 pence to use! so I went to the Community Centre where a lovely lady on reception let me use their facilities for free (thank you). First on our itinerary was Corwen Manor Cafe which is a dominant landmark on the busy A5. Unfortunately it is closed on Wednesdays. However, we were still able to look around the outside where I saw a plaque on the wall saying that these premises used to be a workhouse. I was very interested in this fact so when I got back home I just had to research its history. This Grade 2 listed building was originally built as a workhouse in 1840 to house 150 poor people. They lived in 2 separate wings - men/boys on one side and women/girls on the other. It was built in the form of a cross which separated the grounds into 4 yards where able-bodied residents worked hard for their keep. Between 1840 and 1880, 164 babies were born at the workhouse. In that same 40 year period, 283 adults and children died. The workhouse closed 1940. The premises are now used as a Cafe and shop selling candles, crafts and fishing supplies.

Called in after visiting the museum. The cafe was clean and appealing. Coffee and a cream scone was on a very reasonable deal. Scone was tasty and service friendly & prompt.

On our way to Porthmadog we stopped in this small café and enjoyed a very pleasant snack. It was clean, comfortable, lovely staff very friendly and popular with cyclists who we believe use this café regularly. The Mushroom Soup was gorgeous and well worth trying. This is a place we will definitely use again. In fact we did on our way back and had toasted teacake also very good washed down with nice coffee.

Okay, so it was once the workhouse, but that shouldn't detract. The staff were on the slow side, it took fifteen minutes to make a sandwich, and I was the only one in there, and again, a credit card caused an issue.

Cayó en como era la única cafetería sigue abierto; y el edificio parecía interesante.El café olía a humedad y a humedad, bastante desagradable y parecía sucia aunque quizás injusta. . . . . Pero el efecto general no era buena.Para ser sincero, no estoy seguro por qué nos sentamos y no fuera. Mi marido utilizó el inodoro y dijo que estaba asqueroso.Sin embargo, el té era muy agradable - no hay quejas, y el personal era muy acogedor, aunque deben haber sido cerrarse como entramos.Pero, según esa experiencia, no volvería. . . . A menos que el tiempo. era lo suficientemente buena para sentarse afuera (había bancos de picnic) y no necesita usar el retrete.

Si quieres disfrutar de un bacon butty para un bocadillo a la hora del almuerzo, en Corwen Manor Cafe es el lugar para ir! Personal agradable, buena comida y bebidas. También puede disfrutar visitando la tienda redonda único con una gran variedad de stock en un edificio lleno de historia.

good service friendly staff good food nothing is to much trouble for the staff food very good home made cakes taste loverly

La mejor taza de té en Gales, el más barato de taza de té de Gales. Una experiencia única, en un edificio histórico. Nada de lujos, buena comida a dios, honesta para sándwiches, tortas, bollos, tostadas, grub cosas preciosas. Mientras estás aquí pasear Corwen, es un lugar famoso, con un famoso Prince ¿por qué no tienen un "selfie Owain Glyndwr" con "Príncipe de Gales", afortunadamente los propietarios no tienen una motivación, ofrecen un servicio con una sonrisa y una cálida bienvenida galesa que apreciarán una sonrisa. Como extra saltar extra en el Llangollen Railway para un viaje de regreso y ahorrar algo de dinero es en la estación de corwen parking gratuito.

Aparecimos para buscar un regalo de cumpleaños y después de un buen paseo en los diversos dones encontramos lo que necesitábamos y nos fuimos a la cafetería.

The cafe is friendly and functional. We had tea/coffee and scones. Not that far from Corwen's temporary railway station. Old workhouse building must be a contender for National Trust status!

Lovely step back in time 2 older ladies serving old favorites and at reasonable prices coffee in lovely cups and saucers instead of mugs then when you have had your fill you can look round the shop which sells a variety of things including candles,gifts fishing tackle etc.

Un vasto veriety de regalos a ser aquí a precios razonables, también tienen buena lana de elección y los patrones también mano prendas de punto para la venta a precios muy razonables

Great service- 2 older ladies served us up 3 toasties. Felt like I was at my nana's. Excellent value, great toasties and great service!If you want that homely touch this café is fab!

The cafe is in a part of this HUGE and rather dilapidated building that houses a fishing tackle/wool/candle emporium. The little cafe itself is a step back in time with willow pattern crockery and old favourites like beans on toast and tinned soup (tomato or mushroom) on the menu plus a selection of bought in and home made biscuits and cakes - but all at 1980s prices! Very cheap but not very cheerful - although on a good day you could sit outside which would be cheerier. The old building is fascinating and more could be made of its history, it is a shame it is slowly decaying.

Friendly efficient service but bacon butty was let down by the cheapest bread. Souvenier shop is very good. We will go there again.

Fresh cakes , nothing to dislike! There is a very good knitting shop, gift shop with some very nice thing in it and a fishing tackle shop all in the same building which used to be the old workhouse.

Nice small cafe inside the old workhouse buildings complex which also houses a large gift shop and fishing and outdoors shop. The staff are very friendly and helpful and it's nice to have a good pot of tea and a snack after browsing in the large and interesting shop and having a look around the historic buildings which are well worth a few photos!
