Key Features
Precis
Prior to closure, an outstanding community pub with multiple awards, cumulating in it being crowned CAMRA Wales Pub of the Year 2020.
Location
Prior to its closure, The Pencelli Hotel was a traditional community pub at the heart of Treorchy which was renowned for its real ales, ciders and live music. It was a multi award-winning business, being named Mid-Glamorgan Pub of the Year 2016/17 and Cider Pub of the Year 2017. Its awards culminated in it being crowned ‘CAMRA Wales Pub of the Year 2020’. The premises were in a sad state of repair, being closed and run down in 2014 when purchased by the current owners. They have since invested tirelessly in the fabric of the building and built up the business’s reputation before closing the premises in June 2022 due to ill health.
This substantial property enjoys a pleasant location at the centre of town on Pencai Terrace, opposite Ystradfechan Recreation Ground and Treorchy railway station. It is a substantial public house which is constructed of stone and brick with render and colourwashed elevations under pitched slate roof. It provides two well planned, easy to operate trading areas with extensive owners’ accommodation above. It also has the benefit of a character trade garden with the former stable block being available to provide an outside bar.
Treorchy is situated at the north of the Ronda Fawer Valley at the junction of the A4061 and A4058, which provides easy motoring access north to the Brecon Beacons National Park at Hirwaun, south to Cardiff and west to the Ogmore Valley. The town grew during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the Welsh valleys were industrialised through coal mining and still retains much of its original character. Treorchy was named UK High Street of the Year in 2020 by the Great British High Street Awards, being praised for its number of independent shops and range of community-based events (parades and festivals take place throughout the year).
