Conwy, Wales Activities The Groes Inn The Groes Inn is a revelation for those who mourn the passing of the great British inn -- a traditional refuge of travelers, which blends the warm welcome of a local pub with the homely comforts of a good bed and wholesome food. As the first licensed house in Wales, The Groes Inn has kept the spirit of hospitality alive for more than four centuries. It’s changed so little that visitors from the horse and carriage era would still feel right at home.
