About this property
Located in the seaside town of Llanfairfechan overlooking a river, is this pretty, mid-terrace 3 Alma Terrace. Near a sandy beach and a cluster of amenities, this quirky cottage makes a wonderful escape for both families and friends looking for an adventure. Leave your vehicle on the roadside before opening up the gate to the front patio; here you can enjoy a cup of tea and watch the world whirl by. Discover the retro-style sitting room, where you can look forward to sinking into the sofa and catching up on your favourite shows on the TV. Stepping through the property, locate the kitchen home to everything you need for a self-catered stay, including a gas cooker and hob. The sun room offers a dining table, so you can gather together to enjoy heart-warming meals whilst soaking up the natural light. Patio doors lead out onto the rear garden, which overlooks the rushing river, an idyllic spot for a cold beverage. As day draws to night, head inside and climb upstairs to choose between two bedrooms, a double with bedside lamps for a night-time read and a twin bedroom with riverside views. Awaken with a bubble-bath in the bathroom or take a shower before joining your guests in the rear garden for a cup of coffee. A short stroll will lead you to Traeth Llanfairfechan Beach, home to a promenade with a selection of cafes to fuel your day or visit Aber Falls for a tranquil setting. Jump in the car to explore the walled town of Conwy, certain to entice history buffs with its 13th century castle and the Smallest House in Great Britain; there is also an expansive golf course to test your swing. The vibrant town of Llandudno is also within easy reach, home to the longest pier in Wales to savour fresh fish and chips, as well as a traditional pier with lively arcades. For a unique getaway to North Wales, look no further than 3 Alma Terrace.
Llanfairfechan, also known as "where the mountains meet the sea," is a little coastal village on the picturesque North Wales coast. The small town is known for its kilometres of sandy beach, bird sanctuary, and walks for all ages and abilities, including the famed Terrace Walk, which provides beautiful views over the Conwy Estuary, Puffin Island, and Anglesey and is easily accessible from the North Wales Coast Path and cycling way. Conwy, a World Legacy Site nearby, is known for its historical and architectural heritage, which includes a spectacular 13th century castle.

It had everything we needed for our weeks stay.Comfortable and warm and I loved the vintage furniture.Shower could have been bigger as it was tight squeeze and you had to battle with the shower curtain to stop the water going on the floor.Enjoyed the breakfast at the seagrass cafe and it was dog friendly.!!.The pubs on the street did not do food which was a shame but both were friendly Virginia inn particularly

Close to shops, beach and pub. Train station is close so we left the car and used the train for our visits to Llandudno, Conway and Rhyl, only used the car to go to Snowdon which is 25 minutes away. We walked to Aber falls which was lovely. We would definitely stay again thank you.

However, the bathroom needs updating - the electric shower is tiny and not accessible to anyone with mobility issues or who is not very slim. The shower did not work. It could not be adjusted from either freezing cold to scolding hot. When I informed the owner, I was told it could not be fixed for our stay and 'it's a shame you can't use the bath'!! I have mobility issues but the bath does not have mixer taps nor a shower head fitting, so it would not 'obviously' be 'the solution' as suggested by the owner for anyone! No offer of compensation was made.
