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 to enjoy

Elsinore is a lovely property, renovated (recently I would imagine) to a high standard, clean and comfortable and well provisioned. And it could hardly be more central - not on a main street itself (so quiet) but you can walk to any of Conwy's three main streets in a couple of minutes. Eleri came across as a very considerate host, getting in touch before we arrived to explain parking and when we'd be able to get in. And the "essentials" (like prosecco!) and local products left for us were very welcome. Being so central does, I'm sure, mean people park on the street who have business in town. But Eleri has a couple of traffic cones to reserve parking by the property, and put them in place before we arrived. They did the trick for us. To be honest, there's so much to do within walking distance, you may find you don't need to use the car much (we didn't). Or perhaps bring a bike - some good cycling in the area and there's a spacious, lockable outhouse at the property, perfect for bike storage. I'll be bringing mine next time!

It is in a great central location, but not on a main street so is really quiet. Eleri is a great host, getting in touch before we arrived to explain parking and when the property was ready for us. There was also an amazing welcome tray and a bottle of prosecco in the fridge, which was a lovely touch! Parking anywhere in Conwy can be a nightmare but Eleri put out a couple of traffic cones to reserve parking by the property before we arrived. As the house is in a great central location we didn't have to use the car, and put the cones back out when we left ready for the next guests. We had an amazing weekend and would highly recommend staying at Elsinore. We will definitely be booking again next year!
