About this property
Situated in the Conwy walls, just a short drive away from the beach, is this charming mid-terrace home, 7 Watkin Street. This two-bedroom holiday home is ideal for families and friends, with a wood-burning stove for those winter evenings, and a rear terrace for alfresco dining in the summer months. Locate a roadside parking space or leave your vehicle in the car park close-by before discovering 7 Watkin Street. The living/dining room has everything you need including a TV for entertainment, a sofa, two armchairs, dining seating and wooden flooring for a welcoming feel. Moving through the property, the kitchen, which was renovated in 2022, offers an electric oven and hob for when you fancy cooking, and a dishwasher for a fuss-free clean afterwards. Enjoy mealtimes together at the dining table or why not head up to the terrace to soak in the rays with a cold beverage? From here, you can gain access to the bright and airy triple bunk bedroom and adjacent is a delightful double, with ample storage to house your belongings. In the morning, awaken tired eyes with a wash in the ground-floor shower room, which is newly refurbished as of 2023, completed with underfloor heating, before savouring a frothy coffee, courtesy of the coffee machine. Conwy Castle is a must-see for any visitor and is one of the most well-preserved medieval castles in Europe. The Smallest House in Great Britain is also located in Conwy and is well worth a visit for its quirkiness factor. For those looking to enjoy the great outdoors, Conwy Caernarvonshire Golf Club is the perfect spot to tee off. In the evening, Mulberry, Conwy Marina, and Castle View are all great places to enjoy a drink or a meal with stunning views of the castle. A scenic drive will lead you to Llandudno, a unique seaside town in Wales with attractions that appeal to all ages. Pier, the Great Orme Country Park, Llandudno Tram Way and the Bronze Mine are just some of the must-see attractions in Llandudno. Shop, dine and enjoy the views from the top of the Great Orme, or take in a show at the Llandudno Pier Pavilion Theatre. Be sure to explore Betws-y-Coed, meaning "house in the woods", a picturesque village located in the heart of Snowdonia National Park. Visitors can enjoy beautiful hikes and walks in the park, stunning waterfalls, and plenty of outdoor activities. For all this and more, escape to 7 Watkin Street.
Conwy, a unesco World History Site, is unquestionably famed for its historical and architectural heritage, yet the town's centre is a hive of activity. There are a variety of specialty stores, restaurants, and motels in addition to the ancient festivals and fairs, musical concerts, galleries, and historical sights. Conwy Castle, designed by Master James of St George and built for King Edward I between 1283 and 1287, is one of the most spectacular examples of mediaeval military architecture. The narrow rocky ledge on which the castle rests may have influenced its peculiar, elongated shape, with its two barbicans, eight huge towers, and a magnificent bow-shaped hall.

Thoughtfully equipped with everything you need for a break in a home from home setting. As a single occupant, I felt comfortable, cosy and safe and would love to return again. Thank you

Located in a great place to get all over Conwy, a helpful welcome pack left to give us some tips about the area. My children loved the little terrace and the beds were so comfortable and the bedding pristine. The added touches of dressing gowns and easy access appliances you donât always find in a holiday home was so helpful, especially the hoover, with three little ones their always crumbs

Fantastic facilities and felt like you were properly thought of and looked after. Only tiny problem that I think the previous people had a problem with was a rotten smell in the place, hopefully it gets sorted soon because everything else was fantastic.
