Conwy, a World Heritage Site, is unquestionably well-known around the world for its historical and architectural legacy, yet the centre of the town is a hive of busy activity. There are numerous specialised stores, eateries, and motels in addition to its traditional festivals and fairs, musical performances, galleries, and tourist attractions. Conwy Castle, which was constructed for King Edward I between 1283 and 1287, is still regarded as one of the finest examples of mediaeval military construction. The castle's unusual, elongated shape—complete with two barbicans, eight enormous towers, and a large bow-shaped hall—was likely influenced by the castle's location on a small rocky outcrop. The Gwledd Conwy Feast, the Honey Fair, the Seed Fair, and other yearly festivals, events, and fairs, as well as other musical occasions throughout the year, are just a few of the town's many annual celebrations of its historical traditions, which it is pleased to uphold. Conwy is the ideal starting point for exploring the stunning Snowdonia National Park, strolling along undeveloped sandy beaches, or taking in the breathtaking nature right outside your door. The Llechwedd Slate Caverns, which have the longest zip line in Europe, are also close by, while Surf Snowdonia is only six miles distant.

1 hairdryer between 3 bedrooms also surprised me. We had problems with the hob and oven and trouble locking the back door. The owner was very responsive. I think one set of keys is also unacceptable.

Could not fault it , 4 Railway terrace is a perfect location very quiet and within walking distance (less than 5 minutes walking to the main street in Conwy) car parking readily available on either the station car park which is 2 mins walk and is £2 from 6 pm to 8 am or at Mount pleasant car park which is a easy 10 min walk and costs £7 for 24 hrs , most day we managed to park on the road outside of the cottage , there are trains going past the cottage but not very often and hardly noticeable, I wou definitely recommend this cottage its another excellent Sykes cottage

There are lots of paid parking sites and some free parking in the town but it can be difficult to load and unload close to the house on arrival and departure. The house itself was clean and it had the main facilities.Bathrooms were modern though the en-suite bedroom is small and had little storage. It could do with a coffee table (which has been mentioned a couple of times by previous guests). We couldn't find a first aid kit when my husband cut his head on the cooker hood. A couple of dishwasher tablets needed. Location was the main attraction and we had a great stay in the town.
