About this property
Llandudno 3.5 miles.
An attractive 19th century, stone-built, Grade II listed cottage situated in a quiet hamlet on the outskirts of Llandudno Junction, just 3.5 miles from the Victorian seaside town of Llandudno. Originally the gate lodge to the Pabo Estate, this delightful cottage has been lovingly decorated and furnished in a traditional cottage style, boasting exposed oak floors and a lovely woodburning stove in the living room, all creating a charming, cosy atmosphere. The pretty garden offers beautiful countryside views, perfect for relaxing and dining alfresco, whilst the surrounding area is a paradise for climbers, walkers, cyclists, birdwatchers and water sports enthusiasts alike. Visit Victorian Llandudno with its two lovely beaches, long promenade, dry ski slope, excellent shops, pubs and restaurants, or explore medieval Conwy, with its magnificent castle, splendid town walks, picturesque harbour, marina and golf course. An ideal location for a relaxing break at any time of the year.
Set between the Great Orme and the Little Orme, the village of Llandudno is a popular destination due to the town's two waterfronts. With both The North Shore and The West Shore, there are two beaches for visitors to choose from, the former offering a wide promenade backed by an imposing crescent of Victorian hotels and the latter offering contrast with its miles of sandy shoreline backed by dunes and superb views of nearby Anglesey. For great photo opportunities from the 600 feet high Great Orme summit, visitors can enjoy a relaxing trip up via the Tramway or cable car. There are a number of excellent shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes in the town whilst just four miles away is the World Heritage Site of Conwy. Dominated by its castle this lovely town is completely enclosed by its well-preserved walls.

The TV could do with an upgrade or new aerial as most of the time there was no signal. There was also a damp smell in the cottage. Although the kitchen was well equipped the cottage would benefit from a larger frying pan. The owner was very helpful and we will certainly come back to Pabo Lodge. The garden was lovely and private to. Alfie our cockapoo loved
