    We came here as a short honeymoon after our wedding on 4th October. I know this part of Wales very well, having lived in the area for 5 years but the location was perfect for exploring North Wales and also the beautiful Conwy which was always a favourite place for me. T he property is clean and well maintained and had all we needed. It was perfect. Thank you so very much.

  • "Lovely little cottage with everything to hand."

    Beautifully decorated with comfy bed. Dog-friendly - no garden but a lovely park just around the corner. Conwy has lots of dog-friendly pubs and cafes with some lovely walks straight from the front door. Perfect location within the town walls. Added bonus of parking (best for a small vehicle only as very narrow streets and limited space). Loved Conwy and the cottage and would love to return in the future

  • "Brilliant cottage in the perfect location."

    Shame we couldn't let our dog in the little back garden, but he did escape into there once when we had the door open for some fresh air. Also,at night it was quite chilly a few nights but couldn't figure out any of the heating. Finally, the iron didn't work, but I had packed a travel one. Otherwise, it was well stocked & comfy. One suggestion, if dogs can't use the garden or go upstairs, a stair gate & stable door would be really handy.

    From the quayside to Sandy Shell is up a steep gradient - other wise many of the walks we undertook were on the 'flat' - over the bridge to Deganwy - around the coast to Conwy Beach - sadly a walk to Dyffryn Conwy was curtailed as the Riverside path entered RSPB land and dogs / bikes were not permitted. Parking outside was a minor issue - if you have a large car you may impinge on a neighbours frontage that are guarded by benches / wheely bins when they are out at work - also manoeuvring a larger car within the confines of the back streets and the Erskine Terrace cul de sac may be found to be difficult. Would happily return - overall we had a nice break there.

About the location

CONWY

Llandudno 5 miles; Betws-y-Coed 16 miles.

Conwy, a World Heritage Site, is without doubt world famous for its historical and architectural heritage, yet at the heart of the town lies a hub of bustling activity. Alongside its ancient festivals and fairs, musical recitals, galleries and historical attractions, there is an array of specialist shops, restaurants and hotels. Built for King Edward I between 1283 and 1287, Master James of St George's design, Conwy Castle remains one of the most outstanding achievements of medieval military architecture. The distinctive, elongated shape, with its two barbicans, eight massive towers and a great bow-shaped hall was perhaps determined by the narrow rocky outcrop on which the castle stands. The town is proud of its historic traditions and celebrates its past by retaining many of these in its annual festivals, events and fairs, including the Honey fair, Seed fair and Gwledd Conwy Feast in October, along with other musical events throughout the year. Conwy is the perfect base for exploring the dramatic Snowdonia National Park, walking unspoilt sandy beaches, or taking in the wonderful scenery on your doorstep. Also within reach are the Llechwedd Slate Caverns, which has the longest zip wire in Europe, and Surf Snowdonia is just six miles away.
