About this property
Located in a prime position, in the heart of the Great Orme in Llandudno, a coastal town in Conwy is Pebblestone Cottage, a delightful, three-bedroom home. Just paces away from a hub of amenities, attractions, and the beach, Pebblestone Cottage also rests next to the Great Orme Tramway, making it a wonderful base for exploration; five guests are invited to this lovely home. Park up on the roadside, taking in your elevated position, overlooking the stunning North Wales countryside. Step indoors to be greeted by the homely sitting room, where you can unwind with both the Smart TV and woodburning stove in sight. Head into the kitchen/diner to fulfil your self-catering needs, where you can rustle up and enjoy delicious meals, before enjoying a tipple in the rear garden as the sun sets. As day turns into night, head upstairs to locate three well-appointed bedrooms, including a double, a single, and a bunk room, the latter offering the perfect space for the children of your group. All bedrooms are serviced by a spacious bathroom, providing the ideal place to prepare for your coming days. Awaken to views across the town, before heading on foot to stock up on the essentials or to dine out at a seafront restaurant, before kickstarting your itinerary of attractions; take the tramway up to the Great Orme, enjoying stunning vistas from the summit, burn off some energy at the Llandudno Ski and Snowboard Centre, tour the Llandudno Pier and its host of amusements, stroll along North Shore Beach, or attend a show at Venue Cymru. Follow the coastline along to Colwyn Bay, where you can visit the Welsh Mountain Zoo, a favourite with families, take a dip, fish, or unwind at Rhos-on-Sea Beach, also perfect for hiking, cycling and watersports, before opting for a nature-filled landscape at Bryn Euryn Nature Reserve. Round off your break in Conwy, with Conwy Castle, Plas Mawr, and Conwy Caernarvonshire Golf Club recognised as popular attractions, before reaching the gateway into the Eryri National Park. Enjoy a central base at Pebblestone Cottage.
The two headlands, the Great Orme and the Little Orme, as well as the town's two waterfronts are what gives Llandudno its unique attraction as a tourist destination. There are two outstanding beaches in the town: the North Shore, which has a huge promenade backed by an impressive crescent of Victorian hotels, and the calmer West Shore, which has kilometres of sandy beachfront backed by sand dunes and amazing views of Anglesey. However, for the greatest views, you may take the Great Orme Tramway or an exhilarating over-a-mile cable car journey to the peak of the 679ft Great Orme. The promenade is only a short distance from the town's excellent collection of stores, pubs, restaurants, and cafés. Venue Cymru, North Wales' premier theatrical stage for opera, ballet, musicals, comedy, and visiting orchestras, also sits nearby.

The front and rear of the property requires major maintenance, a good clean up, front bench starting to rot. The gated entrance if of no use so there is a potential safety hazard if you have children or pets. The metal gate looks as though it hasn't been maintained for 10 years, itâs rotten and hanging of its hinges There is NO rear garden, just some shingle and no view and you do not get any sun as it's against a cliff. The bathroom door is a sliding door and has clearly been off the runners for a very long time, the floor has a groove worn in it due to it dragging so not privacy in the bathroom. This is a major safety hazard which could lead to the door falling off. In previous reviews this has been highlighted but not addressed, the shower control has a fixing screw missing so the handle comes off in your hand or falls on the bath and this looks a though it has been missing for a long time, just basic maintenance needed. Three out of four lamps in the rear of the property needed replacement, just the basic checks any landlords would hopefully carry out when getting ready for next client. Key lock at the rear of the property is old and dirty, just needs a replacement and you would struggle to use it in the dark, a simple security lamp would suffice. Handle on fridge kept coming off, as reported by previous guests, again just basic maintenance needed. The only 'starter pack' for the wood burning fire was a few firelighters, no wood or matches so bring your own! Nice location, could be a 5-star property but the owner needs to get a grip with maintenance and description.

The accommodation was well appointed with a nice lounge and kitchen. The bedrooms were really nice. The bathroom was also nice and clean. I do like a bath which it had, as well as the shower over the bath. The owner needs to be aware that the sliding bathroom door kept coming off it's rail and was also noisy and ill-fitting. The fridge knob is loose. The front is lovely to sit out but the bench is flimsy. The rear outside space requires some attention, we actually removed some of the weeds there. The key press isn't the easiest to use. I would gladly return
