"Carreglwyd" is Welsh for "grey rock", with lwyd being the soft mutation (Welsh: treiglad meddal) of llwyd (usually translated as "grey" in English).
The land was owned by the Tudors of Penmynydd, but they forfeited the estate to the family of Griffiths of Penrhyn during the Glyndŵr rebellion in the 15th century. William Griffiths built the current hall in 1634. It was remodelled and expanded during the 18th to 19th centuries when the estate was joined with the neighbouring estates of the Trygarns and Holland families of Berw. The hall and estate have since been inherited by the Carpenter family.
The hall and estate became a Grade II* listed building as of 1952. From 2010, the estate has become a wedding venue, and it also hosts a year music festival named Gottwood.
