  • "Beautiful home, kitchen well stocked with everything you need for a large group (6 adults, 3 teenagers)."

    Hot tub, games, dvds, games tables (tennis, football, air hockey and pool tables) all enjoyed and all in the beautiful Welsh village close to the north coast. Our hosts, Paul and Mel, were so kind and thoughtful and happy to answer any questions, giving loads of info leading up to our holiday. Thanks so much, we enjoyed every minute.

    Thank you, we really appreciate your feedback and we’re so pleased that you all had a great stay at The Old School. You were certainly lucky with the weather, a week later and you may have struggled getting there or getting home with all the snow! All the best, take care, best wishes, Paul & Mel Property Owner

    Really well maintained and equipped and very clean. The owners were really helpful with recommendations and lovely little touches left in the property like games, lots of books and treats for the dog. We holiday as a group every year and this has been the nicest property so far. Going to be hard to beat!

    Thank you so much for this lovely review, it’s always great to hear - we’re really pleased that you all enjoyed the property and the extra touches that we provide, best wishes, from Paul & Mel Property Owner

  • "The accommodation was outstanding."

    We were celebrating our Golden wedding and the owners had taken the trouble to decorate the kitchen / dining room. All the rooms were immaculate, and the bedrooms resembled a 5 star hotel! We enjoyed the hot tub and patio area, particularly in the afternoon and early evening just as the sun was going down with glass of wine! I would highly recommend Yr Hen Ysgol (The Old School) particular for a large group. Would love to go back!

    Thank you for this lovely feedback, it’s great to hear that you had an outstanding experience at The Old School - and thank you again for taking great care of it during your stay, it was a pleasure to walk into. Property Owner

    Very spacious for our family of 10. Great hub of a kitchen/dining room. Hot tub, games room and barbecue a bonus. Communication with the owner was fantastic. The property was easy to find, plenty of parking and ideally located to explore the surrounding area. We would definitely return and recommend.

  • "Fab property for a group of adults sharing a double birthday celebration."

    The property is very spacious throughout and has a very sociable Kitchen Diner, and 5 large double bedrooms- 3 en-suite and a very large family bathroom. All beautifully clean, smart and well equipped. The outside terrace is a sun trap even on cooler days. Llansannan village is delightful, and the local scenery stunning. All the delights of North Wales are only a short drive away...

    Many thanks for your lovely feedback, we’re really pleased that you all had a great time … with a mini heatwave thrown in! All the very best, Paul & Mel Property Owner

  • "Highly recommend."

    We had a lovely New Year’s break at The Old School. The property has everything we needed for an enjoyable family break away. There was plenty to keep the children entertained, as the weather was miserable we spent most of our time making use of everything the house has to offer. We had a lovely meal at The Old Stag just a short drive away on New Years Day. We would definitely stay here again.

    Thank you, really appreciate your feedback - we’re really pleased that you all enjoyed your stay, despite the stormy, wet weather over New Year - and thanks for taking care of the property and leaving it so tidy, really appreciated. Wishing you all the best for 2025 Property Owner

    The welcome pack was a lovely touch and the cottage was so well equipped. We had everything we needed. The area is stunning and the locals were so welcoming. We visited the mountain zoo, the vineyard and lots of dog walks. The hot tub was lovely too. Also had a lovely meal at the old stag. Will definitely stay again.

    I was so impressed, especially with how equipped the kitchen was! Everything from the DVD wall, the log burner and the hot tub really made our holiday amazing! We would 1000% go back again!

  • "An absolutely amazing holiday."

    The cottage was everything and more. The attention to detail was outstanding, with everyone and everything considered. The owner’s communication is like nothing we’ve ever received and really appreciated. The only think I would say requires improvement is some extra kitchen scissors, teaspoons and chopping knives. When thinking the grand scheme of everything that’s literally the only thing. Would not hesitate to return and hope anyone who books enjoys their holiday as much as our three generational family . A credit to the owners xx

    Thank you so much for this amazing review, really glad you all enjoyed your stay at The Old School. Thanks for your suggestions, I can see how doubling up on those items will help the larger party, so will get that sorted - thank you Property Owner

The property

The Old School is an impressive five bedroom property built in 1890 as the village school, nestled on the edge of the village of Llansannan, within a short walk of the village pub, shop, post office, large playing field, and bowling green, amidst open countryside, rolling hills, and with delightful scenic views.

The property provides spacious accommodation for ten guests.

A short drive will bring you to the North Wales coastal towns of Abergele and Colwyn Bay, and onto Llandudno and Conwy, whilst in the other direction you will arrive at Llanrwst and Betws-y-Coed, and into the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park.

Perfect for a family getaway or a group celebration, this pet-friendly property boasts a hot tub, a games room, a pool table room, multi-level gardens, and flexible sleeping arrangements, offering all the essentials for a relaxing, countryside escape.

Be welcomed by a private courtyard, with enough space for five cars, before taking a few steps leading up to the front door and a step down into the hallway.

The property contains two staircases - the main staircase to four bedrooms and the family bathroom, and the second staircase to a separate suite with king-size bed, en-suite, sitting area and Smart TV.

Be impressed by a spacious open-plan living, kitchen and dining area.

There’s a fully-equipped kitchen with everything you’ll need for your break away, and a large 12-foot-long pine table providing ample space to enjoy your meals.

Alternatively, if the sun is shining, why not dine alfresco in one of the two outside seating areas where you can grill up a feast on the barbecue, before indulging a long soak in the luxurious hot tub; you’ll certainly be spoilt for choice.

As the name suggests, once a school, your new home-from-home pays homage to its origins, with educational books and games dotted around the living spaces, providing plenty of entertainment for the children of your group, whilst for adults, the open-plan living space offers a social hub, for preparing meals, dining, and popping bottles.

For a relaxing nook, head to the sitting room, where you can light the woodburning stove and sink into the plush sofas on offer, whilst a games room and pool table room offers further space to break away and unwind.

Five well-appointed bedrooms are on offer, including a super-king-size with en-suite and triple aspect views, two king-size rooms with en-suites, a twin and a super-king-size zip/link that can be a twin on request, all serviced by a family bathroom and a cloakroom.

The Old School is the ideal base for you to explore the surrounding area and all that North Wales has to offer.

Please note: A Ring doorbell is installed at the front door for security purposes.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.

LLANSANNAN

Denbigh 8 miles; Abergele 8.5 miles; Conwy 16 miles.

Llansannan is a rural village in the county of Conwy, North Wales. It lies on the bank of the River Aled and is about 8 miles to the south of Abergele and 8 miles to the west of Denbigh. As locations go, you are ideally located for all that this fantastic area of North Wales has to offer. Less than 10 miles to the coastline and under 12 miles to the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. You are within easy reach of Colwyn Bay, with miles of sweeping promenade, a little further is Llandudno a fabulous Victorian seaside town with traditional pier. Gwyrch Castle where ’I’m a Celebrity’ has been filmed is also only a short drive away. And if you are looking for walks to enjoy, you’ll be spoilt for choice; this really is a great base to explore the region from whatever your interests. Colwyn Bay and Rhos on Sea, just along the coast, are popular destinations for their vast sandy beach. The long Promenade follows the coast from Old Colwyn to Penrhyn Bay and gives easy access to the wonderful beaches, pier and harbour at Rhos-on-Sea all joined by a cycle track allowing exercise and fresh air to be taken together or you can stroll along the beautiful recently upgraded promenade with its wide walkway, and enjoy some refreshments at the kiosks situated along the way. There are also separate slipways situated along the promenade for fishing, sailing, and jet skiing.

Both Colwyn Bay and Rhos-on-Sea have shopping areas and are close to the renowned Welsh Mountain Zoo, several golf courses and plenty of places to walk and climb. Snowdonia, the Isle of Anglesey, castles and National Trust properties are all close by.

A family favourite is the beautiful town of Conwy set on the Conwy River Estuary, dominated by the majesty of Conwy Castle. Fine views can be seen over the harbour and Snowdonia forms the backdrop to this medieval walled town. It is no surprise that today Conwy is designated as a World Heritage Site. The massive fifteen-foot thick walls guarded by twenty two towers stretch for three-quarters of a mile around the town, making Conwy one of the finest walled towns of the medieval period. Visitors can still walk the Castle walls, enjoying views around the town and Harbour.
