The beds were comfortable. We had no complaints at all. The cottage was in a very good position for the town and the amenities.

The location was absolutely perfect with so many things to see and multiple pubs basically next door. The cottage was charming and well stocked for 4 people with very comfortable beds and a lovely shower room on the top floor. With parking right outside, it was perfect a perfect base for our short North Wales visit. I couldn't have been happier and if we find ourselves looking for a place to stay in the area again, this would be the first place I would look to.

Amazing to find somewhere with parking in the centre of Conwy too. We were pleasantly surprised by the toiletries and cleaning facilities left at the property so we had everything to hand. For us, a family with one 7 year old, it was a 10/10. The only reason I wouldnât recommend the property to everyone is that some might struggle with the stairs (such as those with smaller children) and it being opposite a rowdy social club. But for us, it was perfect and we ignored the club.
