  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

  We really enjoyed our stay at North Bay which we thought was a very smart and comfortable property. It was spotlessly clean and the very friendly owners met us on arrival to give us a quick tour and ensure that we were happy with everything. The main bedroom was particularly good, very spacious and probably the most comfortable bed we have ever had in a holiday let, the second bedroom was much smaller if 4 people were staying. There was some road noise being located just off the main road, but this did not prevent us getting a good night's sleep. The bungalow is in a great location for exploring this part of North Wales. There are great public transport services here if you want to leave the car behind, and with a bus stop 150m away you can easily walk into Rhos or along the coastal promenade and catch a bus back ( buses every 12 minutes!). Llandudno is only a few miles away with trains to take you further afield. Bodnant Gardens about 8 miles away are well worth a visit. Will definitely consider returning.

  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.

  We stayed here with our new rescue dog who settled right in, to our amazement. The garden is a bit small for a large dog and still some work to be done but loved the deck and the privacy screens. The bungalow itself is lovely with quality oak furniture and extremely comfortable sofas and beds. Loved the wet room and seperate wc, and also the low level lights that come on in the dark.The owners have put so much thought into what they provide, going way above what most owners supply (everything we could possibly need). It's great that the owners showed us round on arrival. As a light sleeper i brought earplugs because of the road but i didn't need them as it wasn't busy overnight and the 20 mph speed limit outside is a bonus especially when pulling off the drive. I would definitely recommend staying there as we thoroughly enjoyed staying there. We also had a lovely chat with the neighbour next door.

  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.
