“We loved Jasmin Cottage and thoroughly enjoyed our week away here.”
The cottage is in a terraced row of 5 small cottages which overlook the harbour and bridge with the remains of the town walls making up the rear boundary of the cottage and the castle behind and nearby too. We loved sitting in the living room and being able to watch the boats in the harbour outside. It is beautiful in any weather.
The cottage is well appointed and equipped. We would have liked to have been able to separate the recyclable elements of our rubbish, other cottages in the row seemed to have recycling boxes but there were none with Jasmin Cottage. We ended bringing a big bag of recycling all the way home with us! Otherwise the kitchen had the essentials.
The parking is tight, we managed ok with our Vauxhall Corsa but anything bigger would be very tricky to park. While we were there all 5 cottages were occupied (4 are holiday rentals and one is privately owned and permanently occupied). The people in cottage 5 ended up parking at the end of the cottages as their parking space is closed in by properties 3 and 4. The parking wouldn’t put us off rebooking, it’s a bit of a pain but Jasmin cottage has the easiest spot to park in. The owners of cottage 2 are very friendly and we chatted to them a couple of times.
We would have rebooked the cottage immediately for a future week, but the bed was extremely uncomfortable. The mattress was uncomfortable for my hardy husband but for me it gave me excruciating back pain. Such a shame as everything else was so good. I have even considered bringing my own mattress topper or similar so we can stay again! The bathroom is lovely and luxurious, the bedroom is stylish (albeit with a dreadful mattress) with wonderful views of the harbour, the kitchen/dining/living room is lovely and the multi-fuel burner a treat for chilly evenings. The TV needs replacing as it has some strange colours once it has been on a few minutes, we liked using the Bose digital radio.
Conwy has so much to offer - we loved watching the goings-on in the harbour, the lovely streets and shops in town (choux rings from Popty Conwy Bakery are so delicious, ice cream from Parisellas are amazing), the Castle and town walls, and the nearby Morfa beach with its long stretch of sand and beautiful views of the Great Orme and Puffin Island.
Jasmin Cottage is special and we wish we could return.
