  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.

  We had a great family long weekend at The Ship Inn, but sadly were very very disappointed with the cleanliness and maintenance of the property.

  On arrival the cleaners were still there, we were informed the previous guests had left it in an absolute mess. The place was dirty and grubby. Spoke to Ceri (housekeeping) who explained there should have been 3 cleaners but there was only 2. She was very apologetic and going to come the following day and hoover throughout the building, and sort out the areas that needed attention. (I actually cancelled the following day as all 29 of us were going to be in the house, so would have been very difficult to clean around us.) The staircase has obviously not been cleaned for quite some time, thick with dust. Surfaces in rooms tacky. All the cockery needed washing before using. None of the furniture had been moved for cleaning, filthy under sofas in lounge. There was a very strong smell of cannabis in one of the bedrooms, obviously not the owners fault, however the window is painted closed so could not be opened to air the room. The laundry room was full of dirty laundry, some in bags, some dirty towels strewn across the top of the washer and dryer. Ceri contacted the laundry person. The dirty laundry was removed sometime on our 2nd day. The furniture in the lounge is all old, uncomfortable, in poor condition and generally not fit for purpose, all needs replacing. The garage where the ping ping table is located is damp and musty smelling. The freezers both need defrosting. The house needs decorating and updating. The kitchen and dining area are great, spacious and well equipped. The number of bathroom/toilets is great. (Drainage issue in one bathroom). The bedrooms on the whole are fine, (drawers all broken in one room) The larger rooms, including the en suite and the dormitory, other than cleanliness, are fabulous. The furniture in the small upstairs lounge comfortable and pleasant to look at. The entertainment aspect of the house is brilliant, made the holiday. The whole family were able to be involved, and all were in constant use. Pool table, shuffleboard (had to request "sand" which was delivered on our 2nd day), ping ping-pong table, all added to our family fun. The location could not be better. Parking a godsend. Outside space small but pleasant. All in all we had a great time, it is a fabulous house but needs to be better cared for.

  For the price paid the amount of issues we encountered were ridiculous.

  -Used sanitary towel found in one of the rooms ( when the cleaner arrived they picked it up in a bag and didn’t clean the area with anything ) -Top floor hall light didn’t work - Most showers weren’t draining properly - Broken glass coffee pot on arrival - Fleas in a few of the sofas - Dirty floors on arrival - Dust in the rooms. ( 4 poster bedroom has a thick dust blanket under the bed as well as a filthy headboard ) - Unsealed jacuzzi tub leading to a huge water leak coming through the electrics and lights in the kitchen dining area. This also lead to no lights working in the house downstairs for the entire last evening - Broken toilet flushers - Beds were singles pushed together with uncomfortable middle zipper - Oven would take a long to light and didn’t stay on for long enough so it had to be relit multiple times to be able to feed people. A simple meal that should take roughly 30 minutes ending up taking over 1 hour. - Leaking roofs and damp walls - ‘ Ping Pong room ‘ was un noticeable until found on the last couple of days. Once found it was absolutely disgusting with bugs, dirty chairs, broken walls , wood and rubbish on the floor. - Many windows painted shut not allowing ventilation , some cracked and have tape covering the cracks. - The 2nd living room upstairs has a large window that is easily opened with a sofa directly underneath it. Even with parental guidance this is incredibly dangerous. - fire escape was blocked by stacked chairs so only 1 exit from the ground floor. - No welcome pack with written emergency details - Small bath towels are provided but are more suitable as hand towels or hose towels so be sure to take your own. If not be sure to clean the towels first.

  We all had a great time at the ship inn .

  The property was as we expected it to be spacious comfortable and well equipped. just a couple of very minor points which we should bring to your attention . There is no wii provided and the wifi kept dropping out in an annoying manner. The cooker needs some attention to repair two or three knobs to operate the gas hobs . Knob loose to door near bottom of stairs . Floor boards on first floor landing loose . On a plus side the shuffle board game was a great asset. There was always loads of hot water for great showers or baths. The kitchen was very well equipped . All the beds were comfortable and spacious . Would I book this accommodation again ? Yes without any hesitation its a great location with easy walking access to the beach and close to the north wales express way giving quick access to Llandudno and Conway . We all enjoyed the Fforest Coaster , surf snowdonia and Velocity Zip world . We had a great day at Penrhyn Castle the children enjoyed the egg hunt in the grounds .We visited Conway castle and the smallest house did crazy golf at Rhos Fynach as well as spending some time on the beach playing cricket ,football making sand castles and flying kites . We also visited Llandudno pier . Local butchers across road from ship inn worth trying great meats and sausages . . Chips Ahoy worth trying for great fish and chips .Co op 50yds away very useful for milk ,bread etc .

  Our visit to Conway was organised by my wife, Ann, as part of the commemoration for my 90th birthday, due on March 20th 2019.

  As we parked the car on arrival I got out and stood, transfixed by the view from the cottage which ticked all my personal boxes; I have enjoyed a serious affinity with the sea, rivers, lakes, ships and boats stretching back for most of my life so the view out towards the sea, Deganwy and the three bridges was pure magic for me. We only ventured out on the roads on one day when we went to Llandudno, spending all the other days walking in and around the walled town, completing our exploration when I managed to drag myself up the ramps and steps into the castle. Pure history has always mattered to me so Conway/Conwy was bound to be of major interest to me. My only other experience of the vicinity was in 1965 when I towed my sailing dinghy from Bolton to Deganwy for the annual race across the Menai Straits to Beaumaris - I misread the tidal information on the chart sailing up the wrong side of the Straits with tidal flow against me which did nothing for our performance.. The exercise I achieved walking the town was complemented by the staircase in the house which brought muscles into play that have been long idle so all in all the stay did me a power of good and it was fascinating to watch activities in the harbour, like the changing of the RNLI rescue craft. I met many interesting and friendly people who put the icing on my personal cake - it was a pleasure to meet them.
