For a Welsh holiday filled with history, character and outdoor adventure, stay at this charming cottage in Conwy. This dwelling, located within the ancient town walls, gives you a rare opportunity to stay on a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll be surrounded by atmospheric cobbled streets and centuries-old buildings, with the impressive Conwy Castle just 0.5 miles away. With room for five guests over its three bedrooms, and dogs welcome too, this is a wonderful spot for a family among family or friends.
This pretty and historical cottage features an inviting open-plan living and dining space that mixes old with new. A handsome antique dresser brings plenty of character, while the Smart TV and modern furnishings set you up for comfy evenings in. Settle onto the sofas with the wood burner-effect gas fire going and dine at the wooden dining table. The sleek kitchen has marble worktops, making it easy to whip up hearty dinners. Upstairs is a king-size bedroom with views over rooftops and countryside, a snug single room ideal for a child or extra guest, plus a smart shower room with a rainfall walk-in shower. Head up one more staircase to reach the lovely top-floor double bedroom. Outside, you’ll have a compact courtyard for letting the dog out or enjoying a breath of fresh air. Parking is on-street when available, with long-stay options nearby, including Mount Pleasant Car Park (350 metres).
Sandy beaches are within easy reach for picnics and paddling and Llanfairfechan Beach (7.5 miles) is a lovely option. Nature lovers will appreciate being just 0.5 miles from the fringes of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, where serene lakeside walks and waterfall trails lead to breathtaking mountain scenery. More locally, you’ll love wandering Conwy’s quaint streets filled with independent shops and cafés, perhaps visiting Plas Mawr (0.5 miles), a fine Elizabethan townhouse.
