"First time to Llandudno for a long time, really enjoyed the stay and the cottage was brilliant as was the pub which was a stones throw away."
Glad that you enjoyed your stay at Craiglwyd Bach. Having the pubs close by is a real bonus!! Property Owner

"We had a lovely relaxing couple of days at this lovely Cottage."
Great local walks and 2 great pubs nearby. Would highly recomend this property.

"*Wonderful Little Cottage * The little cottage is very well presented with a wonderful view from the little outside terrace overlooking Llandudno."
We didn’t need to use the fire but it was prepared with plenty of wood available, and the central heating was easy to adjust. The narrow access road with the tight turn took a little getting used to, but that added to the charm. And the parking was easy. The owners were nearby and extremely helpful and made sure we had all we needed. We would definitely stay here again, thank you
Thank you so much Sally. Glad you enjoyed the cottage and local area. Property Owner

"We had an amazing time staying at Craiglwyd Bach."
First of all the Cottage is located halfway up a hill which means there are stunning views from the cottage, we didn't get chance to sit out on the patio but the view from there is incredible and I could imagine that breakfast out there in warmer weather would be lovely. The interior of the cottage is very homely and our normally very anxious rescue dog made herself right at home in front of the log fire. The bed was very comfortable. There were some very nice short walks right from the cottage and the view of Llandudno from the top of the hill is definitely a must-see. The cottage is a short four-minute drive from the nearest beach and a couple of minutes walk from two nearby pubs. We opted for Penrhyn Arms, which didn't disappoint, a good selection of real ales and homemade pizzas cooked in a woodfire oven. We didn't manage to make it down to the Craft Beer Cave (though I've read good things) but did walk down to the local Chinese take-away next door to the beer cave, so both are easily within walking distance. Robin and Fiona were also very understanding when I explained our dog is afraid of strangers and gave our dog plenty of space which allowed her to relax during our stay. We're very grateful for that! Overall we were really happy with our stay and have already recommended it to a number of our friends and family. We would also love to come back ourselves in the warmer months. Thank you both!
Thank you for your very kind feedback. Glad you enjoyed you stay at Craiglwyd Bach and were able to enjoy the village and surrounding area. All the very best for 2025 Property Owner

"Stayed at Craiglwyd Bach from the 13th of December for a week and really enjoyed our stay."
First of all, the road up to the cottage is a little hair raising to begin with but you park right after the cottage on the right in Gwynwens car park ( excuse the spelling) we had our shopping delivered by Tesco but the driver wouldn't come up to the cottage ( I didn't blame her) so I had to drive down to meet her and put the groceries in my car. Everything we needed was in the cottage and the log fire really warmed the lounge. The views from the cottage are superb and will be nice to sit out in the summer months. The king size bed was also very comfortable and we slept pretty well. Would definitely return but would try the summer months next.
Hi there. Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay in Penrhynside. Hope to see you again. Robin and Fiona Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay."
The attention to detail was second to none. They even had doggy towels and doggy biscuits for your dog. The local walks were really nice and they provide you with written instructions so you can find your way home. There's a pub for food really close which served lovely food which you can enjoy infront of the log fire. The views from the kitchen and garden were unreal. Thank you for our lovely stay.
So glad you enjoyed your stay and were able to. Take advantage of the great walks form the cottage. Property Owner

"Following very closely the owner's advice as to how to navigate the steep, narrow road to the property, I found the experience merely nerve-wracking, rather than absolutely terrifying, and successfully managed to get my C-Max there and back every day without incident."
(Thank you R&F!) The beautiful property itself is exceptionally cute. It's also well-maintained, and scrupulously clean - exactly what I love about Sykes properties. The views from the kitchen window of the sunrise over the bay on my last day were stunning. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and also on the larger side. Fantastic place to stay for singles/couples. Highly recommended.
Thanks, Kate, for your feedback. It means a lot to us all to know that our efforts appreciated. I shall pass on your comments to the housekeepers, thank you. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage with great views has all the home comforts especially the log burner."
Roads a bit narrow but negotiable. Would definitely recommend. Will certainly return and stay longer.
Thank you for your feedback, particularly about the level of home comforts and the log burner. We are really glad that you enjoyed your stay at Craiglwyd Bach. Sorry we didn’t get to meet you as we were away on holiday during your stay. Perhaps meet up next time !!!! All the best Robin and Fiona Property Owner

"We had a lovely time in this cosy little cottage."
The views from the house are spectacular. The house is well equipped and comfortably furnished. It is very close to local traditional bars. Lovely walks, beaches, and scenic countryside are all nearby. We highly recommend this cottage.
Thank you for your very kind feedback which means a lot to Fiona and I. It was lovely to meet you both, and your cute little dog! Hope your journey back to London went well. Best Wishes, Robin and Fiona Property Owner

"Not for the faint hearted it's a long climb up the hill to return to the cottage but worth it."
There was a beer cave in the village it was unexpected and very welcoming fantastic array of ales for the enthusiast. The pub a few minutes walk away served excellent food booking recommended. The walk into llandudno was fun plenty to do. The labrador enjoyed his pupachino most places were dog friendly.
Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed yourselves. The pubs and beer cave great aren’t they!Sorry we didn’t get to meet as we were are away currently. Thanks for choosing our little cottage. Robin and Fiona Property Owner

"It's an absolutely beautiful cottage."
You couldn't wish for more helpful and friendly people as the owners of this cottage. The roads to the cottage are narrow , and winding. Room for one car only . There is parking alternative to the cottage , which is alright. Beautiful views from the cottage garden.We enjoyed our stay very much
We are glad that you enjoyed your stay in Penrhynside. It was lovely to meet you both. All the best Robin and Fiona Property Owner

"This little cottage is a perfect base to explore North Wales or just relax."
The views are superb and the walks supplied before your visit are great. We did angel bay to see the seals the great orme to see wonderful views and Llandudno which was so clean and pretty. We also drove out to treaddar bay. In the village the Penrhyn pub does the best Sunday dinners and the Crosskeys has the friendliest and most entertaining bunch of locals. A fabulous find so we booked again before we left. Our 4 legged friend Bella loved it especially the log fire.
Hi Mike and Teresa. So glad you enjoyed the cottage and the surrounding area. Those Sunday lunches are good aren’t they!! Looking forward to seeing you both next year. Robin and Fiona Property Owner

"The ride up to Craiglwyd Back was a hairy the first time ,my husband did get used to it and the parking at the top was big enough."
Thanks for the milk and cake ,but there was only 1 tea bag and a bit of sugar I'm just pleased I packed some .Fantastic views from the kitchen, it would be better if the hedge wasn't so tall . Wales was stunning plenty to do and see and we had such good weather ,Torches were a good idea when going to the bathroom in the middle of the night . A very pretty cottage shame we didn't meet the owners they were away ,we did meet there daughter
Thank you for your positive feedback and sorry about the teabags! An oversight whilst we were away. Property Owner

"Craiglwyd Bach, Penrhynside was a well equipped, clean and homely cottage."
Lots of local walks, pubs and eateries within walking distance with information provided in the cottage. Great views over looking the Bay and sea. Lots of nice extra thoughtful touches, the Welsh cakes were yummy sat by the roaring woodburner in the evening with the dog that was also made most welcome. I would well recommend a stay in this little cottage.

"Wow how to put into words how beautiful and cosy this stunning cottage was, everything we could of needed was provided and more it was a very comfortable, cosy relaxing cottage and we had the most amazing time and only 3 mins from cottage was an absolutely amazing place called Angel Bay which had absolutely stunning views and there was also upto a 100 seals with there pups beached on the bay i would definitely recommend this place to visitors as a must see!"
!! The facilities at the cottage was perfect I managed to cook a full English breakfast each morning and even a 3 course meal for me and my fiancée, bed was to die for very comfortable and pillows was so comfy I wanted to bring them home with me lol, village people was so friendly as was the owners who at a drop of a hat was at the cottage with any queries I had regarding lighting the log fire he quickly came and showed me and gave me more logs for our stay, we had a roast in the local pub called The Penryn Arms and it was probably the best roast we've had and very reasonably priced apple crumble and custard was also a winner, very nice atmosphere, warm cosy and very friendly too, our stay from start to finish was perfect, WE RECOMMEND THIS COTTAGE TO ANYONE!!
Hi there, Thank you for your very kind feedback. We do try our very best to ensure that our guests have the best stay at lovely little Craiglwyd Bach. I must add Angel Bay to to our list of local walks. Glad you found your way there. Its fascinating to see the seals isn't it.

"Brilliant stay for new year."
Fantastic location, right at the side of some good local pubs and plenty of good dog walks around the area. Messaged Robin & Fiona a couple of times and nothing was ever any trouble , always happy to help. Overall, 10/10 cottage and holiday , loved the stay.
Really glad you enjoyed yourselves. Come back soon!! Property Owner

"Absolutely loved this cottage!"
It has everything you need for your stay. It's the cleanest property I have stayed at by far and the cosiness is second to none...the bed is sooo comfy!! The views overlooking the bay are to die for! Our stay was winter but would love to come back in the spring/summer and sit on the patio taking in the views. We were out every day visiting castles etc which are all really close with this cottage location. There are a couple of pubs a few minutes walk which serve food and are very welcoming. Find the steps from the property straight down to them...Will save you time walking round the windy roads. Definitely will be going back. Thank you for letting us stay it was fab!!
Hi there, Thank you so much for your very kind feedback. It does mean a lot to us, as we really value our guests having a good time. Looking forward to seeing you again! Best wishes, Robin and Fiona Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay here in November 2023."
The cottage is delightful and so cosy for the winters nights. It was a special treat for us with it being my birthday, our first anniversary and our first holiday away with our 3 month old. Robin and Fiona we great with communication over email, and even provided a travel cot for our little one, setting it up in the bedroom for us prior to arrival. We loved the personal touch of a card to congratulate us on our anniversary. Again to reiterate others, the road is narrow and steep, and takes a bit of confidence to navigate it however after a couple of goes you do get the hang of it. Lovely stay thanks again!
Hi Sophie, It was lovely to be able to host you and your family, at Craiglwyd Bach, on the occasion of your first anniversary. So glad that you enjoyed yourselves. Robin and Fiona Property Owner

"A lovely holiday cottage, well presented and really clean."
The views are great - lovely sunny private patio. Good location for exploring. Appreciated the welcome pack and a welcome pack of wood and stick wood for the woodburner- thank you. Cottage really snug, - and a really comfy bed. The walk leaflet was great - the views from the top of the hill behind the cottage were fab. We went up the Great Orme on the tram - great fun and did the Park Walk - a must also is to go to Angel Bay and see the seals ( only a few minutes drive from the cottage ) We would recommnd to anyone and hope to stay again.
Thank you very much for your kind comments. Glad you enjoyed some of the local walks. The Park Wall is really bracing in the winter, but a great preparation for a visit to one of the local hostelries!! Property Owner

"Due to flooding, we stayed in,and the area wasn’t too good for a bad ankle and knees , if we wanted to walk."
Our last day, fantastic.Friends picked us up an we went for a meal . Lovely little cottage, just not appropriate for disabilities.
Hi Diane, We are so glad that you enjoyed the cottage but, also, very sorry that your bad ankle and knees precluded you from enjoying the fantastic walks and scenery in the area; which are normally a major benefit for people staying on our mountainside. Property Owner

"What a gorgeous getaway."
. the cottage has fantastic views and has great small walks out of the front door the 2 pubs in the village are very friendly and welcoming and the stone baked pizzas at the pendrym Arms are fantastic. Easy parking even for our X5 although the drive to the cottage is a bit tight it's ealiy navigated. Local amenities are to hand and hosts are very polite and lovely and are happy to leave you to enjoy your holiday. Perfect break in a perfect cottage.

"This is a beautiful little cottage, set in a lovely village, not far from all seaside resorts."
The owners of this cottage provided everything needed for our stay. Even making sure that our dog had everything as well, e.g. dog towel, dog treats and bowls. They were also on hand if we needed them. The views from the cottage were amazing and Penrhyn village had everything that we needed. It had plenty of places to eat, good regular bus service to costal towns and a first class dog friendly beach. Angel Bay is a must if you go there, it is a short walk from Penrhyn village. I would definitely recommend this cottage and we are planning to return within the next couple of years.
Thank you for you lovely feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed the cottage, village and surrounding area. very best wishes, Robin and Fiona. Property Owner

"Authentic as it comes."
If you are looking for a quintessential cottage, look no further. Cozy and well-appointed inside. Breathtaking views outside. Be sure to pop into the Penryhn Arms Pub in the village on Monday night to hear world class jazz.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. Will pass on your comments to Mark at the pub re the Jazz night. Property Owner

"Really enjoyed our stay at Craiglwyd Bach."
The cottage is lovely and the views from the patio were stunning. Robin and Fiona are very friendly and helpful. We visited a lot of places whilst staying North Wales with so many choices of beaches and walks nearby too. As everyone does comment the drive to the cottage is very narrow however we own a Mitsubishi truck and with careful driving we had no issues with driving to the cottage and parking at the rear of the cottage but I would advise no vehicle larger than that. Overall a fabulous stay and would highly recommend this lovely place.
Thank you for your your feedback. Really pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. Best Wishes, Robin and Fiona Property Owner

"This cosy little cottage is really lovely."
The furniture is very comfortable and you sleep like a baby in the huge bed. There are two pubs in the village which are really good and the staff and locals are so welcoming and friendly. The owners are next door if you need them for advice, which is also reassuring if you have any problems. ( which I doubt as the cottage is perfect.) The drive up to the cottage has to be carefully manoeuvred as the driveway is extremely narrow! We look forward to returning to the cottage later in the year. Sykes said that the cottage was on one level, WRONG there are three stairs into the bedroom, which for people with mobility problems is an issue. They need to address description accuracy in their advertisements.
Thank you for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed the cottage and local walks. I will contact Sykes with regard to the three steps and ensure that the listing is amended Property Owner

"Beautiful clean quaint cottage with outstanding views."
Getting to it a challenge but parking on owners property not a problem. Would recommend. Owners very helpful. Would return.

"Lovely little cottage to stay in."
The owners have literally put a lot of thought in this property and its perfect for a little retreat. There is a lovely patio which overlooks breathtaking views. The cottage is very clean and comfortable and well worth staying in. We would definitely book it again.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed yourselves and enjoyed the cottage. We look forward, perhaps, to seeing you both again sometime. Best Wishes, Robin and Fiona Property Owner

"The owners were obliging & helpful."
The cottage provided a quiet, comfortable home from home, away from the hustle and bustle of Llandudno but within easy reach of all its amenities. The kitchen was fully equipped for anyone wanting to prepare their own meals, as we did. There is an excellent bus service into Llandudno & beyond for those willing to walk down the hill into Penrhyn Bay (& back up again!). The parking at the owner’s property was as described, but not for the faint hearted and vacant parking spaces in the small village square never materialised while we were there. That said, we had a wonderful time, enhanced further by the good weather.
Glad that you enjoyed the cottage and the quiet and peacefulness of the village. Thank you also for bringing the first week of good weather, that we have had this year, with you! Robin and Fiona Property Owner
-
"The cottage was in a perfect place for us, the walks to and around Llandudno excellent plus the public transport was great, plenty of pubs to visit in the village and around."
The cottage is clean and dog friendly. The village is up hill and parts steep and roads in parts are narrow. The views from the cottage are outstanding. Me and the wife plus the dogs really enjoyed our stay and will recommend to family and friends.
Thanks for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed the walking in the area and the very good stops to slake your thirst!! Robin and Fiona Property Owner

"Really enjoyed the cottage, it had all facilities in the kitchen you could want."

"Beautiful romantic cottage with lodge burner and sea views, what more could you ask for more!"
The owners are lovely, and easy to contact. Loved the little touches of milk, tea, coffee, sugar, Welsh cakes and dog biscuits, so it was lovely to have a brew after driving up. Two pubs in walking distant, would really recommend the queens head pub for food which is about 5 mins drive away. I would really recommend this place and will book again in the future! Thank you

"We stayed at the cottage at the end of October 2022 with our puppy Fudge at nearly 6 months old."
The cottage was lovely and cosy and Fudge couldn’t get out of the garden as it was really secure. The cottage had a lovely log burner which made the stay extra cost. We also had Netflix which was really good as we stayed in at night with Fudge. The bed was really comfortable as I don’t usually sleep well but had the best nights sleep. The views from the cottage were amazing. Robin came to meet us once we had settled in and was a lovely person who gave us information on where to go and the area. I went the local pub which was a few minutes walk away and everyone was very welcoming. I would definitely recommend this cottage and will definitely be returning
Thank you so much for your very positive comments. It means so much to us, when our guests enjoy lovely little Craiglwyd Bach Property Owner

"Cleaning not the best, some dirty pots , and sofa was dirty under cushions."
We found dog hairs and stains with having to turn cushions regularly because of sliding off . Iron broken cable not been checked. That’s what happens when owners don’t look after the property and check what’s been done .Geoff from derby.
Thank you for your helpful feedback. We have rectified the shortcomings that you noted and put procedures in place to prevent a recurrence. Property Owner

"Gorgeous, cosy cottage with amazing views."
Everything we needed was there. Super comfy mahoosive bed!! We had a brilliant time. 2 minutes to The Penrhyn Arms (can't recommend the Sunday dinner enough) Can understand what previous people mean about the tightness of the road up to the cottage. No mishaps from my Husband though. Would definitely stay here again.
Glad you enjoyed the cottage and also Sunday Dinner at the Penrhyn Arms! It is good isnt it!!! Property Owner

"We had a fantastic week in this lovely cottage."
The views from it are amazing and we had all our meals in the courtyard every day. Llandudno is within walking distance and I can highly recommend The Cottage Loaf pub after a walk up The Great Orm. Rhos on Sea is also within walking distance and has some lovely coffee shops. The cottage itself is very cosy and the super king size bed is the most comfortable I’ve ever slept. We had the log burner on in the evening as it got a bit chilly which was cosy. The drive up to the cottage is tight but easily done if you take your time. We had no problems at all. I would highly recommend this idyllic cottage. Aberfalls distillery and falls is also highly recommended and not just for the whiskey. A fabulous walk to the falls is not to be missed.
Thank you so much for your review. It really means a lot to us that our guests have a really good experience at Craiglwyd Bach. Property Owner

"Lovely little cottage in a beautiful location with stunning views."
A great home base for exploring the region, and after a day out in the Welsh weather nothing better than sitting in front of the log burner with a cuppa. Really quiet area but a short walk to plenty of amenities and pubs, would highly recommend!
Thanks so much for your comments. Lovely to meet you both and glad you enjoyed Craiglwyd Bach. Property Owner

"Everything you would want from a comfortable holiday, great views of the bay & town."
Well stocked with tea, coffee, milk and essential household items. Weird refuse collection & awkward recycling system (But that's the councils problem) Don't expect to park outside the cottage unless you are in a bubble car and be careful driving along the winding narrow lanes. Nevertheless, a good quiet break.

"Lovely cottage in a wonderful location,views were tremendous,everything in the cottage was first class, the bed was luxurious !"
Would recommend it to anybody ! Even though the approach road was rather narrow ! but no real problems, Robin the owner was extremely nice and friendly. Parking is best next to the pear tree as suggested,unless you have a tiny car ! All in all we had a smashing holiday and the weather was great for April ! Would love to visit again ! Dave and Pam .
Thanks for your feedback. It means a lot to us to know that you enjoyed yourselves. Hope to see you again!! Property Owner

"I have tried to put off writing this as that will mean our Holiday is almost over… OK here it goes, had a very relaxing 3 nights away at the Craiglwyd Bach."
. Directions given were perfect to find it. And they were not lying when they advised us of the narrow roads… VERY Narrow, but thankfully we managed them with out any destruction to any part of the car. Walking through the door and all your stress just melts away. Front room is furnished with a couch, chair, Table w/2 chairs, TV & beautiful wood burning stove - lit for two of the nights we were there and kept the room nice, warm & cosy. To the right of the room - Watch your Head… is the Bathroom (Small, as they made use of the space they had, but perfect for what you need to do in there) and the Kitchen. The views from both windows is breath taking. We didn't use the Stove but they have everything needed pots, pans, baking dishes plates & utensils if we wanted too. Then back to the left of the front door – up 3 steps/stairs is a the bedroom with a massive, very comfortable bed. Dressing table w/mirror and a large wardrobe to hang your clothes. Everything was neat, tidy & clean. Could not ask for a better place to stay. PERFECT for a relaxing/Romantic get a way… Highly recommend & will 100% be back THANK YOU Nancy
Thanks for your feedback Nancy. Very much appreciated. Robin and Fiona Property Owner

Lovely stay in a beautiful area, cottage was great, if there was one thing I would recommend it would be an outside shower for the dogs for coming back from fabulous walks
Thanks for the feedback Sonja. We are so glad that you enjoyed yourself Property Owner

"The owners could not have been more helpful and accommodating."
We’ll appointed property in a super location- despite the very narrow road leading to it!
-
"Lovely cottage comfortable great views."
Thank you Property Owner
-
"The cottage is very pretty and well presented in a beautiful location."
It was very comfortable and cosy. I found the shower a little neat. The access to the cottage and parking is tight. I coped with this for the week, right up until we were leaving when I scraped the rear sill and wheel.
-
"We had a lovely stay at Craiglwyd Bach."
The cottage was lovely in a nice quiet spot, handy for the local pub. Will definitely recommend it.
-
"We absolutely loved our little cottage, we had everything we needed, the extra large bed was particularly comfortable and the bedroom plenty big enough to house our puppy pen."
Be careful driving as the lanes up to the house are extremely narrow and we did scrape our car on both sides, despite taking extreme care. Our host Robin next door was absolutely lovely and was there if we needed anything but totally unobtrusive. Gorgeous cottage with incredible views.
-
"Great place to stay with stunning views."
Cottage is clean and comfy with fire place but place is not easy to find and park a car. Highly recommended!!!
-
"Too many e-mails from Sykes"
-
"A very well kept cottage, which was beautifully furnished and very clean."
The owners were very friendly and helpful and the location was breath taking. What more can I say?
-
"Absolutely stunning place to stay,we enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage."
The owner lived next door and was helpful but not intrusive.Its ideal to discover north wales. With fantastic beaches and walks as well as llanduno.You read in reviews about vehicle access but don’t it’s ok we had no problem and saw vans delivering up the hill just take your time,We wish to thank Robin and Fiona for a great week.
-
"Fantastic little cottage."
the road up to it is a bit hairy (don't take a large car!), but the cottage is perfectly clean and very well-provisioned. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay there and would be looking to go again.
-
"The owners were very helpful, great pub in the village,Penrhyn arms."
Lovely views over the bay.
-
"Just returned from a midweek break in this beautiful cottage."
Cosy little cottage with amazing views enjoyed from the lovely patio area. It was like a home from home, very comfortable with all home comforts and more. Exceptionally clean with the owners taking all recommended precautions to the highest degree. Very short walk to the 2 local pubs and lots of lovely walks on the doorstep ( we had 2 dogs with us). Would definitely recommend.
-
"Lovely cottage made even better by the great weather making our stay very enjoyable"
-
"The cottage is lovely and quaint."
Fantastic views of the countryside and coastline. Very peaceful in the evening so quiet great to relax. Our hosts robin/fiona were there if we needed them they were brilliant. Its our second time there we will definitely be going back. Xx

Excellent location for amazing walks and plenty to see and do lovely homely cottage with excellent hosts very friendly village

"The accommodation was excellent with an extremely helpful owner who was unobtrusive and helpful."
The views from this cottage are superb we loved it!
-
"Fabulous views, near amenities, very enjoyable place to be."
-
"The cottage was clean and comfy ,warm, and had everything you could need during your stay."
The garden was a plus and our dogs loved it, but it was Also nice that it was enclosed and secure. It was lovely after a day out to come back and sit in the garden with a coffee, and watch the world go by. Seeing the harvest moon rise was a sight I will never forget ~it was spectacular. The bed was absolutely huge and extremely comfortable, and the furnishings were within keeping of a cottage of that age. Carrying our luggage up from the village car park was a struggle initially, as the lane is VERY narrow just before the cottage, and we didn’t feel confident enough to drive up the last part to get to the private driveway, however by the next day we had learned to master it with care. The kitchen had plenty of cooking equipment in it and plenty of crockery. It also had 2 frying pans which were true to their description of being non stick! We were also gifted a Bara Brith plus tea coffee milk and sugar for our arrival. There were also lots of other kitchen items such as cling film, washing up liquid, fabric conditioner, work top spray, dishcloths, foil ,kitchen towels and tea towels ~ all provided for us !!! The cottage is really close to some lovely places. Penrhyn Bay, Llandudno, The Great Orme, Rhos on Sea, and Colwyn Bay are minutes away, and we visited all of these several times. The village pubs are literally 2~3 minutes walk away, and very welcoming. There’s another pub about 1mile away which also does food too. Anglesey, Bettws Y Coed, and Llanberris are all stunning and well worth the visit, and there is so much more to see and do. For rainy days there’s a small book library or dvds at your disposal, plus cards and other games. The owners Robin and Fiona live next door to the cottage, and are there on hand for any problems you may have-but you are given total privacy to enjoy their property, which is really nice. It felt really homely there. All in all it was a peaceful relaxing break, spent in a beautiful part of Wales.

"Positives:- beautiful views, clean kitchen and bathroom, spacious bedroom, owner friendly and helpful with lots of helpful tips Negatives:-driving up to cottage not for the faint hearted and the alternative option not very feasible i."
E parking on village hall - full most of the time only four or five spaces in any event and parking on the road unsuitable as narrow roads and residents parking. The living room tired and not much space - for 2 adults & 2 dogs Lack of things to do unless you drive - two pubs within walking distance both lack atmosphere neither do food so unless you want to cook yourself you have to drive for a meal out
-
"The living room was too cramped and very disappointing."
The sofa & matching arm chair we very soft and took up too much space, in fact most of the space. Siting on a dining chair was not what we expected to have to do on holiday.It was difficilt for one person to sit at the table & the other to try & get past to get to the bedroom. The table was smaill and no lighting near it to do jigsaw or read a book. Lighting in the living room was very low and inadequate. It seems the cottage is loved by dog owners and by those who eat out or sit on the sofa in front of the log fire & watch TV. The bedroom was excellent and the shower/toilet/wash room. The kitchen well equiped except for the old cooker, the grill and oven were unacceptable. Owner was very nice. The road up to the cottage was challenging and the owner guided us up there. It was single track, very narrow with tight bends. That should be mentioned in your description. On the plus side: It was very near our family who we were visiting, and friends at a local church. Hilltop walks from the door. Lovely prom walks & beach at Colwyn Bay.
-
"This is a lovely cottage for two."
Everything you could need for your holiday.The owner even left us a small selection of delicacies to taste. The views from the kitchen and patio over Penrhyn and local area including the sea makes this holiday special - a set of binoculars for use would have been really useful. All in this is one of the nicest cottages l have stayed in.
-
"Nice cottage, in a good location."
Our first experience of North Wales. The cottage was very pleasant and the bed was the best we have ever experienced in all the years of self-catering cottages. The basin in the bathroom would benefit from being an inch or two deeper and with a plug that seals. Kitchen well-appointed but a more modern cooker (with better temperature control) would be better. Anyone who likes old pubs would love the Old Penryhn Arms, which is in walking distance. All in all a very positive experience.
-
"Beautiful comfy cottage, Mr Holden very welcoming and very helpful."
. would have booked for the following weeks as needed a cottage in the area but unfortunately it is fully booked.. a very beautiful place with beautiful views of Llandudno .. will certainly come back again..
-
"The cottage was so warm and comfortable with everything you could need."
It was perfect for our dogs as there many nearby walks and the scenery is stunning. We had a wonderful holiday.
-
"Cottage felt much bigger than expected."
Particularly liked the views from the small garden and the bedroom with a super comfy bed.
-
"Spotlessly clean on arrival."
Directions and key location, excellent. Ample room for everything. More kitchen appliances and utensils than expected, even a washing machine, plus everything worked! Bonus! very good value for money. Very comfy huge bed! Even tea, coffee,sugar and bara brith on arrival. Lovely decor, bedding and towels of high quality. Very pleased with our stay. We have stayed in many places, and have found that with the dog as a paying guest also, the accommodation is of a much lower standard, but not in this case, well done
-
"Cottage has excellent location in terms of travelling around the area and in it natural surroundings."
The access is fine, you just need to get used to the narrow lane after the first couple of times there is no problem, a small car is also helpful however! The cottage is well equipped and sufficiently spacious for two people. The large bed is the most comfortable I have slept in in a long time. Plenty of eateries and shops in close proximity for all needs. A very peaceful property.
-
"The wood burner was very welcome and cosy on those frosty nights."
The cottage/croft was well fitted out and very clean, a credit to the owners. Would book again.

We really enjoyed spending our Christmas at the cottage , robin met us in the village and took us up to the cottage, we were left some bara brith and mulled wine which was nice ,the views are amazing at nightime too,the two local pubs are 5 mins walk away we went on sat and they had live music on,and dog friendly,the cottage its self had everything we needed a very comfortable bed, and really enjoyed the log burner, we really enjoyed and have booked again for next year
-
"Lovely little cottage - everything you need for a short break."
Owner was very friendly and met us at the village hall to show us the way up to the cottage when we arrived. I soon got used to the narrow approach! Would recommend
-
"Robin and Fiona are absolutely so welcoming when you arrive,made to feel real welcome,chatty and bubbly owners,the cottage its self is again absolutely amazing."
...The views are breath taking for sure...dogs loved it two..definatly going back....
-
"The directions from the host were really useful as we arrived very late."
It was a lovely cottage and we'd definitely visit again.
-
"This is a lovely old cottage with beautiful scenic views and well located for walking into Llandudno or to dinner."
Spotlessly clean and well equipped. The local pub was five minutes walk away and very welcoming.
-
"The cottage was perfect in every way."
Fantastic location with views overlooking both the sea and the mountains from the small patio area. Just a short stroll to two dog friendly pubs and around a twenty minute walk to another pub serving excellent food. The facilities within the cottage were great and a lovely touch to have cake, milk, tea and coffee provided. We really couldn’t fault anything!
-
"This lovely cottage provides a peaceful retreat with amazing views and is an ideal base for exploring the surrounding coastline."
It is not far away from a quiet beach in the bay, perfect for winding down ( or cooling off if you are a dog ) after a busy day sight seeing. We were welcomed with everything to make that first cuppa and slices of the best Bara Brith. Safe patio area for dogs and a warm welcome at the Cross Keys pub only minutes away from the cottage where dogs are welcome. The cottage on the hillside means you have to embrace the adventure of driving up hill with tight corners but the shared parking is a plus. We managed it with a Landrover Freelander 2. Our hosts were very helpful and knowledgeable about the local area.
-
"Lovely cottage with loads of plus points but here are a few things that took the shine off it."
The sea view is obscured by the owners hedge so a little disappointing as this was one of the reasons for choosing this cottage. I expect it is for their privacy at the expense of the cottage's view. The sofa is old and very uncomfortable. Shame, as sitting in front of the log burner on the cold rainy afternoons would have been idilic. Leaving a cottage in a clean and tidy condition is a given but being informed on where all the cleaning materials and hover are and requested to clean the cottage for the next guests is not what I expected.

The road access is very restricted with awkward turns on a steep gradient that make it unsuitable for a large car - could just about manage in a Corsa

G. the torches by the beds, and the nest of tables with mats for drinks. There was genuine privacy without a sense of isolation; this was the perfect balance for us.

Your home away from home
Llandudno 3 miles. A delightful, Grade II listed 18th century single-storey cottage, set in an elevated location on a quiet lane above Penrhynside, with stunning views over Penrhyn Bay.

Set next to the owners' home, this Llandudno cottage offers peace and tranquillity from the moment you arrive, with a spacious bedroom with exposed beams and a super king-size bed.
The sitting room continues the traditional character of this Llandudno cottage, with exposed beams and stone wall, and a woodburner to keep you warm in the evening after a long walk along the coast.

Where you’ll be staying
LLANDUDNO
Conwy 4 miles, Colwyn Bay 6 miles, Snowdonia 20 miles.
Llandudno lies between two headlands, the Great Orme and the Little Orme and it is these headlands, and the town's two waterfronts, that give this tourist resort its special appeal. The town offers two superb beaches - the North Shore, with its wide promenade backed by an imposing crescent of Victorian hotels and the quieter West Shore with miles of sandy shoreline backed by sand dunes and superb views towards Anglesey. For the best views, however, you can reach the summit of the 679ft Great Orme using either the Great Orme Tramway or by taking an exciting cable car ride of over a mile. The town has an excellent selection of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés, as well as Venue Cymru, which is North Wales' premier theatrical stage for opera, ballet, musicals, comedy and visiting orchestras, boasting a programme that is second to none - all this is just a stone's throw from the promenade. Just 4 miles away is the town of Conwy - a designated World Heritage Site. A true medieval gem, Conwy is dominated by a splendid castle and completely enclosed by its well-preserved town walls. Discover miles of sandy beaches along the North Wales coast and excellent walking and climbing in the Snowdonia National Park just 20 minutes' drive away - there's plenty to see and do!
