    “The cottage has been rennovated and decorated to a high standard.”

    However there was a consenus amonst our party of 6 adults that it was a little style over substance in some areas. Whilst generally well equipt the following was missing. No washing up bowl ( difficult with a Belfast sink), no oven gloves, no wine glasses ( only prosseco glasses), no pint glasses. There is virtually no storage for clothes bar a few (4 /5) hangers on a small rail. The lack of storage was a little bemusing as there was plenty of space but the owners have actually chosen to 'style' ...

    However there was a consenus amonst our party of 6 adults that it was a little style over substance in some areas. Whilst generally well equipt the following was missing. No washing up bowl ( difficult with a Belfast sink), no oven gloves, no wine glasses ( only prosseco glasses), no pint glasses. There is virtually no storage for clothes bar a few (4 /5) hangers on a small rail. The lack of storage was a little bemusing as there was plenty of space but the owners have actually chosen to 'style' the bedrooms and landing to the practical detriment of any drawers/ cupboard space etc. Had to live out of suitcases and trip over them. The bath ,unfortunately ,wasn't usable for the 2 guests in the room as they couldn't safely get in or out of it due to its position under the low eves. ( prob ok for younger folk). Fires but no kindling, fire lighters, wood etc. No coasters( we didn't want to mark the furniture). Parking is as described (and in other reviews) on a first come basis but in reality is almost non existant. Sounds like a lot of gripes but all pretty minor stuff really. More just vaguely irritating than anything worse and a lot could be easily put right.We overall enjoyed the stay. Location is super.

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 to enjoy
