Conwy, a World Heritage Site, is without doubt world famous for its historical and architectural heritage, yet at the heart of the town lies a hub of bustling activity. Alongside its ancient festivals and fairs, musical recitals, galleries and historical attractions, there is an array of specialist shops, restaurants and hotels. Built for King Edward I between 1283 and 1287, Master James of St George's design, Conwy Castle remains one of the most outstanding achievements of medieval military architecture. The distinctive, elongated shape, with its two barbicans, eight massive towers and a great bow-shaped hall was perhaps determined by the narrow rocky outcrop on which the castle stands. The town is proud of its historic traditions and celebrates its past by retaining many of these in its annual festivals, events and fairs, including the Honey fair, Seed fair and Gwledd Conwy Feast in October, along with other musical events throughout the year. Conwy is the perfect base for exploring the dramatic Snowdonia National Park, walking unspoilt sandy beaches, or taking in the wonderful scenery on your doorstep. Also within reach are the Llechwedd Slate Caverns, which has the longest zip wire in Europe.

The bed is exceedingly comfortable and all the bedding etc are of exceptionally good quality. We could not fault the cottage, this was our third year in the cottage and we will hopefully be back again. Position within the town centre walls is excellent for all the local amneties, and although there is no onsite parking, as you would expect from a cottage like this, literally 2mins walk away through the castle walls is a large car park, where you can pay by app. If you have a disabled badge you can park int the disabled spaces with your badge free of charge. Thank you to the owners for a lovely stay, our dogs really enjoyed themselves . ( and apologies again about the broken plate

Location was excellent, very central but quiet and lots of places nearby to walk our dog. The cottage is very well equipped and maintained and we especially appreciated the welcome pack of essentials like teabags and wine! We have visited Conway many times but have never actually stayed in Conway itself before. It's a charming little town with lots to offer. We will definitely be back to stay at 2 Railway View!
