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.

Everything you need is provided. Contrary to previous reviews we did find hand soap etc provided. The main difficulty is definitely the parking. If you drive a large car or are not confident reversing then we would not recommend this cottage as when the majority of holiday lets are occupied you have to reverse down two narrow roads past cars and the allocated parking space is blocked in by another car. If this wouldn't bother you or you don't intend to drive then we would really recommend this cottage.

The cottage is in the centre of Conwy very convenient for shops and restaurants. Would definitely reccomend, perfect location for exploring North Wales, and a added bonus of parking. Just a suggestion could do with a mirror in the downstairs bedroom, but that's just a small thing. Will definitely return. Thank you.

Only small negatives were the towels could have done with a new set. Bath and tea.... Old and grubby. No clean washing up sponges, the cheapest shampoo. For a lovely property it could have had the extra touches to make it excellent Parking space wasnt available due to the neighbours not affording us the space. Got the feeling they dont like holiday makers every week. So had to pay for overnight parking most of the time in town centre car parks
