The Old Post Office

The Old Post office was perfect for our short break.

The village has a very chilled feel with the lovely pub just 50 yards away. They serve very good food and there's live music several nights each week (jazz, folk, rhythm and blues). The hosts live next door and are on hand with help and advice if you need it. The town centre and beaches are less than 10 mins drive away.

The owner was very pleasant & cheerful, a truly lovely lady, gave us ideas were to visit.

Lovely well equipt cottage. Brilliant pub The White Lion within a stone's throw from the cottage. The some hills were slightly challenging in 1st gear for an old car ! Had a lovely holiday travelling around Anglesey & North Wales, we used the trains from Colwyn Bay to Chester, Blaenau Ffestiniog to Porthmadog, Llandudno. Found the Welsh people very friendly & helpful

Lovely cottage in an idyllic setting.

Well placed for visiting many areas everyday. Great local pub with excellent food and our hosts were really friendly

A delightful, cosy holiday cottage located in the pretty little village of Llanelian.

The cottage is comfortable and well equipped and in a good location first visiting attractions on the North Wales coast. We received a warm welcome from the owner Jane. We would be very happy to return.

Gorgeous little find!

We found this cottage quite last minute and it was perfect for us! Ideal location, great for the kids, and such lovely owners! Would definitely recommend

This is a lovely cottage in an ideal location for visiting places in North Wales Jane the owner is so friendly and welcoming and is on hand if you need anything (which we didn’t) Pub across the road does lovely food and there is a community field where you can walk your dog.

Enjoyed the stay, location was ideal to explore the rest of the area.

Property was nice and homely, everything was just right.

Jane was really nice and welcoming and checked throughout the holiday if we needed anything.

Enjoyed two weeks at this charming cottage.

Parking was easy, and it had all the facilities we needed. The Conservatory was warm and comfortable especially for meals. Almost opposite was the friendly parish church, and the White Lion providing very good food and drink..

Absolutely superb cottage in stunning location.

We have just enjoyed a wonderful relaxing week in glorious sunshine on the Welsh coast . Could not have asked for anything more and Jane and Jonathan are the perfect hosts . Now looking forward to our return in September

A beautiful property full of character.

Very cosy feel to the original building, with the bonus of a bright and spacious conservatory for dining/relaxing. The owner left some Halloween activities for our 2 children, and their niece baked for us too, which was greatly appreciated by all of us. Lots of games in the living room cupboard and a library of DVDs helped to keep us entertained. A lovely quiet spot to return to after our days out exploring the nearby attractions - Bodnant garden, Penrhyn Castle, the Welsh Mountain zoo, Greenwood park are all close by.

We had a lovely short stay at the cottage, just 4 nights.

Great location for getting around and even managed a trip to Chester Zoo. Lovely cottasge and handy for local pub just 30 second walk.

This property was lovely.

In a quiet village overlooking old Colwyn. There is one pub The White Lion, don't be put off by sticky tables and worn carpet in the older section food I'd delicious and plentiful, the hosts are characters! The property itself has a happy history and is equipped and decorated to a high standard. There is a huge element of vintage in the property. The selling point of this cottage are the hosts Jane and Jonathan, who live next door. The welcome to the property is warm, friendly and full of information. There are no books of information everything is relayed by Jane personally. The cottage is very comfortable, cosy and warm. A car is essential. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners. Take the time to sit and talk to Jane she is a walking history lesson of the village and it's community. Use the lovely bakery in old Colwyn, lovely cakes, bread and savouries.

The cottage was very comfortable with a spacious living room with a wood burning stove, a well equipped kitchen and a lovely conservatory/dining room with comfy chairs to laze and read in.

It was great to have an outside sitting/eating area on the deck as well but alas it was too windy during our stay to do this. The bedrooms and bathroom were cosy cottage style with interesting shapes and many nice touches in the décor which made the cottage very homey and easy to relax in. We soon got used to the curved stairs and the grab handles helped. The hosts were so welcoming and couldn't do enough to help. Their local tips on where to eat and what to see were much appreciated - so much to do in the area. We enjoyed two great dinners at the friendly White Lion Inn next door and a lovely meal at the No 25 bar and restaurant in Rhos on Sea. The history of the Old Post Office and the church are fascinating too. We would definitely like to come again.

We have just had a lovely stay at The Old Post Office.

The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable. The location is great for many memorable trips, especially to the many local beaches. We would highly recommend a stay here and Jane, the owner is very helpful and welcoming.

We had a lovely holiday in the Old Post Office .

It was very clean ,well equipped and very comfortable all-round a great stay .A great place to unwind .Also lovely places to visit .Can highly recommend it.

The Old Post Office was perfect for us - very quaint and ideally situated as a base for exploring the surrounding area.

Also handy is the fact that the White Lion pub is virtually next door. Afternoon tea in the vintage camper van was a delight. Jane was lovely and made us all very welcome and was very helpful in sharing her local knowledge. We will definitely return.

Very nice seeing the owner of the property on arrival she was welcoming we just had a really nice time i will use Sykes cottage again thanks for a great holiday john

It was lovely

Really gorgeous cottage and lovely hosts in a peaceful, quiet and friendly old village.

White Lion Inn next door is a must visit.

We loved the comfortable cottage, Jane and Jonathan were very helpful in so many ways, and we appreciated the welcome treats on arrival!

Perfect location for visiting Colwyn Bay, Llandudno and Anglesey to name but a few.

Beautiful place!

5mins drive from the beach. We had freshly baked shortbread when we arrived.. we loved them! Perfect little half term break! Thank you for letting us stay!

The Cottage was a perfect home from home.

Great amenities and Jane was a great host. We were grateful for her knowledge on the area and the vast literature left for us to be able to plan our days out when needed. The village was lovely with incredibly friendly locals. Our dog loved all her walks that we could start right from the doorstep. The amazing beaches are within a 5 min drive which we enjoyed on a daily winter venture out.

We had a lovely time in between Christmas and New Year.

. The cottage was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Clean and well presented, cosy cottage. Thank you.

Everything you need and more!

We had a great time, very cosy cottage and close to amenities.

Jane was a wonderful and welcoming host, who is very knowledgeable of the area, and full of great recommendations for things to see and do. We will definitely be going back next year.

The cottage was very quaint , with all mod cons for a very comfortable holiday .

It was in a hill top village opposite a lovely pub . A short drive from the beach . Jane the host went out of her way to make us comfortable she is a very welcoming person . It was a cosy comfy cottage in beautiful surroundings .

We loved this little cottage and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

We stayed during the last week of October 2023. The weather wasn't the best but we did what you do in Wales and donned our waterproof gear so we had a brilliant week! The cottage is situated in Old Colwyn, uphill from the main road and the hustle and bustle. There is a private parking space at the back for one car and entrance is really via the conservatory, which is where the key safe is, so nice and private and away from the main road (which is extremely quiet!). There is a CoOp and a Lidl somewhere in Old Colwyn, and there is a Morrisons in Colwyn Bay (a 5 minute drive along Abergele Rd) but we bought what we needed each day when we were out and about. There is a restaurant/pub a stone's throw across the road from the cottage called The White Lion. It seems very popular and has good reviews. We didn't have time to go as we were out every day but we wished we had. It's closed on Mondays (just to bear in mind). The owners live in the adjoining cottage. Jane came to introduce herself to us at around teatime in the first day and she was so lovely and welcoming. In arrival, there was a pint of milk in the fridge which we really appreciated so we could just have a cup of tea before heading back out to buy some food to eat that night. In fact, we headed to Colwyn Bay to go to a chip shop that I knew and have used before over the years (I wouldn't recommend Old Colwyn at all by the way). The cottage itself was just wonderful. It was very cold on a couple of the days but the owners had the radiators set to come on so the main part of the building was warm. The kitchen is well fitted and modern with extremely good quality equipment. This is mainly what I noticed and appreciated - in every room, everything is good quality. You know that the owners didn't just buy a holiday cottage and fill it with car boot sea themed tat as you do find in some cottages (and we've stayed in a LOT). Bedding, duvets, plates - just everything felt carefully chosen, even the selection of DVDs. We all really appreciated everything there. There were even a pair of hair straighteners in the double bedroom .. If I had to think if something that the cottage needed, I would only suggest a door wedge/stop to keep the bathroom door open and some tupperware for the kitchen to fridge up your leftovers. I wish the cottage could be replicated in the other areas we like to stay in (we stay in North Wales at least three times a year). A perfect holiday cottage! I would love to return

Lovely place to stay and really enjoyed our time there.

5 mins drive to beach. It was a great weekend getaway for us nice and quiet. 10 out of 10.

We had a wonderful two weeks at the Old Post Office in Llanelian (Old Colwyn).

Jane was a wonderful host and kept in contact with us throughout our stay. The weather was mixed (as it often is in Wales) but the cottage was very comfy and homely especially during those days you didn't fancy venturing out. The cottage had everything provided that you should ever need. The bedrooms and bathrooms are compact accessed by a very narrow staircase but this is an 1820s cottage so this is to be expected. The cottage is a great base for different areas/activities - Liverpool is only just over an hour away, Snowdonia less than an hour and Anglesey is about 40 mins, 30 mins to the beaches of Rhyl and Prestatyn. Llandudno is also worth a visit at about 20 mins (a ride up the Great Orme in the tram is definitely worth doing). Old Colwyn (5 mins), Colwyn Bay (10 mins) etc all have wonderfully sandy beaches and parking is never an issue. Loads of castles around the area as well. All in all a great place to spend your holiday.

A beautiful little cottage with everything you need for a restful, comfortable stay.

Host rang before we travelled to check our arrival details and discuss our stay so that we could ask any questions and was on hand for our arrival, with information and maps of the area with recommendations for places to go during our stay. There were also lots of information leaflets to browse through. It has a well equipped kitchen and option for eating out on the terrace or in the sunny dining room at the rear of the property. Parking for two cars is available. Beds were clean and very comfortable. We took our dog, and although there is no garden there is a large field to run the dogs in just round the corner. There is a pub opposite the property but it was being refurbished while we were there I think, so not open a lot. You will need a car to get to town which is only five mins or so away. We had a fab relaxing stay in this quaint little place. Thank you.

Steep staircase and small bathroom, all in good order but if booking know there is limited space upstairs.

Lovely spot, good pub and food just around the corner.

Beautiful property….

and owner extremely helpful

Excellent property and absolutely lovely owners, nothing too much trouble, available if you need them and very friendly.

Situated in a lovely pretty village it was very relaxing to stay in this lovely cottage. The fact that there is a field close by to take your dog is really good too. Cannot fault this property in any way and would definitely recommend it to anyone considering a holiday here.

A fantastic cottage in a stunning area of wales.

We got a lovely welcome from Jane, the owner. It was such a peaceful and relaxing place to come back to after our day’s out, and absolutely everything you need is in the cottage for your use.

Just returned from a lovely week in The Old Post office.

Was greeted by the delightful owner Jane on arrival, who was then on hand if required during our stay. Cottage located in a quiet village just outside Old Colwyn. Perfect location for visiting N Wales many attractions and minutes from the A55. The cottage is a very old character building with a lovely fitted kitchen, and a roomy and airy conservatory ideal for eating in or relaxing with a good book. Upstairs the bedrooms were fine as was the bathroom. We took our dog Millie and were pleased to find a field by the Village Hall ideal for an early morning run before our days out. Would highly recommend and we would certainly return.

We had such a lovely few days away in an area we know well.

We usually camp or stay in a hotel but we were much earlier to visit this year and decided to book The Old Post Office. What a great choice: it was in a great location, with wonderful hosts and the cottage was really comfortable with everything we needed. Thank you Jane and Jonathan, we wlll be back

Brilliant cottage, well equipped and and lovely place to stay.

Hosts were very friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Would highly recommend.

This cottage is in a really good location , not far from local amenities and has a pub across the road .

There is a field nearby to let my dog off in the mornings and The neighbours are friendly . The cottage was decorated nicely , had a cosy atmosphere and the beds were very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend .

Lovely cottage in a great position to visit the area and all it has to offer .

. Cosy fire for the winter months and nicely decorated for the festive period We can imagine the conservatory and decking area would be fantastic in the summer months . Well appointed kitchen good Wi-Fi Responsive and friendly owners who are always on hand should you need them Could. I suggest you pop a hairdryer in one of the bedrooms. .. would be handy

Lovely stay in this cosy characterful charming cottage.

Well equipped, very clean and comfortable. The owners gave us a warm welcome and the basket of local foods for us was much appreciated. Despite the weather it was a super holiday in a beautiful area discovering new places to go. Would like to return when the weather is better and visit Conway again which we found delightful and abundance of choice of eating places in Llandudno! Moreen & Peter

Jane couldn't have been nicer or more helpful during our weeks stay.

The cottage is beautiful and cosy, really comfortable beds and furnishings, well equipped kitchen and gorgeous surroundings. Can't recommend enough. Our 3yo cried for an hour in the car on the way home because she wanted to 'go back to holiday house'!

Fabulous clean and well equipped cottage,well positioned in a quiet village, that's convenient for exploring North Wales and Anglesey.

The hosts are lovely and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed here recently.

All we can say is how blown away we were with the location and the home. We were welcomed and given a tour, made to feel at home by Jane. There was a lovely welcome package of locally sourced produce for our stay. Cottage is in a lovely quiet village, there's a pub and restaurant across the road and the local town delivers if you need it. Even with the weather turning, cottage was lovely and cozy. It is also spotless inside. Wife and I loved the area and would love to come back.

Absolutely loved the Cottage !

So homely and had everything we needed . Couldn’t fault a thing and a lovely welcome box of goodies on our arrival was amazing

Lovely cottage.

lovely scenery, ideal base for excursions etc
