The property

Derwen-Las is a charming former quarryman's cottage perched above the coastal town of Penmaenmawr, Conwy.

Enjoying sweeping sea views towards Puffin Island, the Great Orme and Anglesey, well-suited to families and friends seeking a North Wales escape, boasting a multi-stove fuel and allows dogs, all within easy reach of the beach and the spectacular landscapes of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia).

Arriving at Derwen-Las, leave your car and make your way towards the front garden, where gravelled areas and outdoor furniture create an inviting first impression.

Before you, uninterrupted coastal views stretch across the water, offering a wonderful place to pause with a morning coffee as the sea shimmers in the distance.

Enter through the rear of the cottage and step into the ground-floor shower room, a practical space to freshen up after sandy afternoons by the shore.

Continue through to the kitchen/diner, where white cabinetry, tiled flooring and contemporary styling create a bright setting for holiday meals.

Gather around the circular dining table to plan the day's adventures, while the well-equipped kitchen makes cooking a pleasure with a fridge/freezer keeping ingredients chilled, an oven and microwave ready for family favourites, and a dishwasher and washer/dryer helping take care of the essentials.

A wall-mounted TV adds an extra touch for relaxed breakfasts or leisurely evenings indoors.

From here, wander through to the sitting room, where a multi-fuel stove creates a welcoming focal point after days spent exploring the coast and countryside.

Sink into the sofa with a good book, settle into the armchair with your favourite drink, or enjoy a film on the Smart TV as the fire crackles nearby.

A door opens directly onto the front garden, where the remarkable sea views draw your eye across the coastline and towards distant Puffin Island.

When sleep calls, head upstairs to find two thoughtfully presented bedrooms.

The king-size bedroom enjoys a picture window perfectly positioned to frame the sea, allowing guests to wake to coastal vistas without even leaving the comfort of bed, while a wardrobe provides space to unpack and settle in.

The second bedroom is a double, also benefitting from a wardrobe and offering a restful space to recharge ahead of another day of exploration.

Completing the first floor is a shower room featuring a generous walk-in shower, ideal for starting each morning feeling refreshed and ready for adventure.

Outside, the front garden provides an excellent spot to soak up the far-reaching views, while nearby you'll find local shops and welcoming pubs just a pleasant stroll away, with the beach also within easy walking distance.

Beyond the cottage, North Wales offers an abundance of memorable days out.

Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) is easily reached and rewards visitors with dramatic mountain scenery, scenic walking trails and picturesque villages nestled among valleys and lakes.

Whether you're climbing to breathtaking viewpoints, discovering tranquil lakeside paths or simply taking in the ever-changing landscapes, it provides an unforgettable backdrop to your stay.

A visit to Conwy is equally rewarding, where the imposing UNESCO-listed Conwy Castle dominates the skyline, the remarkably preserved medieval town walls invite exploration, and the historic Elizabethan townhouse of Plas Mawr offers a fascinating glimpse into the area's past.

Wandering the narrow streets reveals independent shops, waterside views and plenty of places to pause for refreshments.

For a classic day by the sea, head to nearby Llandudno.

Stroll along the famous Victorian pier, take in sweeping coastal views from the Great Orme, and enjoy the elegant promenade that curves around the bay.

Whether exploring by foot, relaxing beside the water or discovering local attractions, this popular resort town provides entertainment for all ages.

Combining far-reaching sea views, welcoming living spaces and a superb location close to both coast and mountains, Derwen-Las is a delightful base for discovering the very best of Conwy and North Wales.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.

PENMAENMAWR

Conwy 5 miles.

Nestled on the North Wales coast between Llanfairfechan and Conwy, Penmaenmawr is an old quarrying town now adapted into a delightful community stretching along this stunning coastline, yet retaining much of its Victorian architecture, with many local pubs, restaurants and shops, a superb golf course and golden, sandy beaches. Set on the side of the Tal-Y-Fan mountain, many parts of Penmaenmawr and its sister village Dwygyfylchi enjoy stunning views across Conwy Bay to Llandudno, Puffin Island, Anglesey and the Irish Sea, and if you are lucky, dolphins and seals can sometimes been see playing in the bay. A recently opened cycle path leads along the coastal path to Conwy Marina to the East, and Llanfairfechan to the west. Or, head up the Conwy valley through the Sychnant Pass on to the mountain trails that abound there. The sailing club in Penmaenmawr is well established and welcomes day guests, as does the 9 hole golf course, set amongst stunning coastal scenery on the lower slopes of the village. On the promenade you will find numerous activities such as a skate park, a children's paddling pool as well as a beach cafe which is open most of the year. There are also beach huts on the promemade that you can hire by the day. Also near to the beach is a bowling green and all weather tennis courts.
