“Things starting to need attention like the shower support and the fridge door shelf other than these enjoyed our stay weather was fantastic.”

- Mr Park, July 2021
Miss Radley June 2021

“We loved our stay in this cottage and couldn’t believe we were within the castle walls!”

A lovely unique little place, very clean and comfy. The only downside is that you can’t use the little back garden (mainly our dog, Ruby) but with so much coastline on your doorstep is really not a problem. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

- Miss Radley, June 2021
Mr Griffiths June 2021

“A larger, more comfortable sofa would be nice!”

The ideal sized cottage in an ideal location.

- Mr Griffiths, June 2021
Mr Patrick May 2021

“Great holiday let.”

This is our third visit. Only snag is the bedroom window does not open which made it pretty stuffy at night. Other than that,great house and great location. Would recomend and would go back again. Loved it!!

- Mr Patrick, May 2021
Mr Pearson April 2021

“Though many would view this cottage as being on the small side, it fitted our needs perfectly.”

It was super clean. The furnishings were all well kept. Everything was in perfect working order. The nicest touch was the milk, bread and Welsh cakes waiting for us when we arrived. We would certainly recommend this cottage.

- Mr Pearson, April 2021
Mr Luke September 2020

“Beautiful cottage as described, perfect setting and lovely area for traveling around north wales.”

- Mr Luke, September 2020
Mr Hall August 2020

“Lovely, clean cottage in a great location, in the heart of a quaint, historic, buzzing town.”

- Mr Hall, August 2020
Mr Garside July 2020

“Loved the cottage and it’s location, tastefully decorated and very comfortable.”

More information in details would have been helpful, as no garden and restricted parking due to medieval layout of street, luckily my husband managed parking but I could not!

- Mr Garside, July 2020
Ms Turner July 2020

“Unclear of use of back yard space to let dog out in”

- Ms Turner, July 2020
Mrs Hamilton July 2020

“We were impressed with the way this very small cottage had been equipped.”

However one matter somewhat spoiled the stay for us. On about the second day the toilet seat broke. We noticed it was very loose and there was considerable overhang at times. Although we reported this to the owner nothing was done before we left and it was very uncomfortable to use meanwhile. I would have thought the owner would have given this priority.

- Mrs Hamilton, July 2020
Mr Reynolds November 2019

“Perfect location near all town facilities but quiet street with parking.”

- Mr Reynolds, November 2019
Mr Elder October 2019

“Windows are screwed shut, fire hazard and no air circulating so mouldy windows.”

Great cottage in a excellent area and welcome pack is a big bonus when you arrive. Details not up to date. Iron, hairdryer and TV all in cottage, which is useful to know.

- Mr Elder, October 2019
Mr Hollingsworth October 2019

“We really enjoyed our stay in Sandy Shell Cottage.”

The location is excellent and the owner first class in his generosity and support. It is a little small but we knew that before we went and since everything was designed to fit the space we could not fault it. A privilege to stay there.

- Mr Hollingsworth, October 2019
Mr Birchall September 2019

“Beautiful, compact cottage within walking distance of centre.”

Lovely touch of free grocery pack.Highly recommended.

- Mr Birchall, September 2019
Mr Tasker August 2019

“The cottage was everything as described on the web site, spotlessly clean and fully equipped but the location was better than we imagined.”

The description said inside the walls of the town but it can not explain what it feels like to stay inside the walls of Conwy. Yes driving and parking can be quite a challenge due to the narrow streets, but the ambience of living in a world heritage site was amazing.

- Mr Tasker, August 2019
Ms Johnston July 2019

“Fantastic from the booking to the cottage.”

We loved it.

- Ms Johnston, July 2019
Mr Burton July 2019

“Beautiful clean cottage set in the heart of the town.”

Parking right outside the front door. The cottage is finished to a very high standard and has been well thought out - the bed is huge! There was a welcome pack including bread and milk which was a nice gesture. The town is quaint and there is lots to do from walking around the castle walls, a stroll around the harbour and there are beautiful beaches just a 15 minutes drive away. We will certainly be returning. Would highly recommend.

Mr Rippingham May 2019

“Just a fabulously furbished cottage and beautiful decoration.”

Fab touches such as the groceries on arrival. And in a great setting next to the Walls

- Mr Rippingham, May 2019
Mrs Bowden April 2019

“We had a wonderful stay in Sandy Shell Cottage, everything was lovely and clean and welcoming, the only gripe we had was the parking, we parked on the nearby car park just the other side of the walls, having a blue badge we were able to park for free.”

- Mrs Bowden, April 2019

Ms Spicer December 2018

“A lovely warm cottage in an ideal quiet location.”

Easy access to local walks, shops and restaurants. Added highlight was the town’s Christmas Eve carols and fireworks.

- Ms Spicer, December 2018
Mrs Andrus November 2018

“Beautiful, cosy cottage with everything we needed.”

Lovely bedroom and bathroom too, with the bonus of parking in Conwy.

Ms Wood November 2018

Lovely clean cottage, loved the size of the bed & bedroom & the bathroom, Disappointed with the garden, living room & kitchen, It’s fine just with 2 adults but not with 2 dogs as well, too small in the living room

- Ms Wood, November 2018
Mrs France September 2018

Great cottage and very central had everything we needed and we even had a welcome pack when we arrived and treats for our 2 dogs will definitely recommend

- Mrs France, September 2018
Mr Whalley August 2018

“Perfectly kitted out bijou holiday cottage for two folks plus dog - within the walls of Conwy - all places of interest within walking distance - we didn't move the car for the first half of our break.”

From the quayside to Sandy Shell is up a steep gradient - other wise many of the walks we undertook were on the 'flat' - over the bridge to Deganwy - around the coast to Conwy Beach - sadly a walk to Dyffryn Conwy was curtailed as the Riverside path entered RSPB land and dogs / bikes were not permitted. Parking outside was a minor issue - if you have a large car you may impinge on a neighbours frontage that are guarded by benches / wheely bins when they are out at work - also manoeuvring a larger car within the confines of the back streets and the Erskine Terrace cul de sac may be found to be difficult. Would happily return - overall we had a nice break there.

- Mr Whalley, August 2018
Miss Reynolds July 2018

“Sandy Shell Cottage was well equipped and comfortable.”

The location was fantastic for exploring Conway. However, I found the parking situation a little uncomfortable and sometimes hostile with neighbours.

- Miss Reynolds, July 2018
Mrs Hopkins June 2018

“Ideal location close to shops and pubs.”

A comfy bed and modern bathroom. Plenty of space for clothes in the bedroom. The cottage is on a side road with parking in front of the cottage. Plenty of pubs serving food nearby. The nearest pub is 2 minutes walk and I would recommend the chippy opposite the pub for fish and chips. I would return to this cottage and visit Conwy again.

- Mrs Hopkins, June 2018
Mr Armstrong June 2018

“For 80+ year olds the stairs need rails on both sides of stairs due to stepness”

- Mr Armstrong, June 2018
Miss Evans March 2018

“Beautiful Cottage in a perfect location”

- Miss Evans, March 2018
Mr & Mrs Di Sora February 2018

“Excellent cottage.”

.. Parking can be a challenge but then again it is situated within a walled town and having parking is a bonus.

- Mr & Mrs Di Sora, February 2018
Mr Fenton November 2017

“Great the cottage is within the town walls of Conwy, a great cottage.”

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, which has the longest zip wire in Europe, and Surf Snowdonia is just six miles away.
