Located in the coastal town of Penmaenmawr in Conwy is Gwyder, a fabulous, four-storey home. Enjoying stunning sea views and a prime position near the beach and a hub of attractions, Gwyder is also within reach of the Snowdonia National Park, offering the best of the coast and the countryside; thirteen guests are invited for a group celebration, along with two furry companions. Park up roadside and be welcomed by the charming exterior of Gwyder. Head indoors to firstly locate the sitting room, contemporarily styled and offering a relaxing atmosphere, where you can unwind after a day of travelling. Next door you'll find the formal dining room, with enough space to house your entire party, enjoying mealtimes together with the Welsh coastline in your backdrop. The kitchen is well-equipped and sleekly-presented to ease your self-catered stay, where you can prepare meals to also be enjoyed alfresco, with a private and enclosed courtyard resting to the rear of the home. For a quiet nook, head downstairs to the lower ground floor, where you'll find the second sitting room, complete with plush seating, a TV, and an electric log-effect fire, offering a warming glow as you catch up on your latest programme. On this floor you'll also find a double bedroom and a shower room, acting as an annexe, ideal for teenagers or older members of your group. Locate three well-presented bedrooms by climbing up to the first floor, including two doubles and a twin bedroom, all serviced by a bathroom, whilst a further double and triple bunk room sit on the top floor, enjoying far-reaching sea glimpses; a shower room is available on the second floor for convenience. As the sun rises, head into Penmaenmawr to stock up on the essentials or to dine out, with The Village Bistro and Bron Eryri within walking distance, before heading for the beach, followed by a tour of the local museum. Head for Conwy for another day at the coast, where you can also tour Conwy Castle, travel back in time by discovering Plas Mawr townhouse, or follow the Llwybr Moryd CONWY Estuary Trail towards Llandudno Junction. Be sure to fill your itinerary with the attractions of Llandudno, where you can attend an event at Venue Cymru, travel up to the Great Orme Summit Complex, or enjoy a bag of fish and chips along the pier, whilst the national park is brimming with nature-filled landscapes, where you can hike towards the Pensychnant Conservation Centre, discover Aber Falls, and visit the Adventure Parc Snowdonia for surf lessons and further outdoor activities. Enjoy the best of Conwy at Gwyder.
Penmaenmawr is an old quarrying town that has been transformed into a lovely community that stretches along this stunning coastline while retaining much of its Victorian architecture. It has many local pubs, restaurants, and shops, a fantastic golf course, and golden, sandy beaches. It is located on the North Wales coast between Llanfairfechan and Conwy. Many areas of Penmaenmawr and its sister village Dwygyfylchi, which are situated on the Tal-Y-Fan Mountain, provide breath-taking views of Llandudno, Puffin Island, Anglesey, and the Irish Sea across Conwy harbour. If you're lucky, you might even get a glimpse of dolphins and seals frolicking in the harbour. The seaside walk connects to Llanfairfechan to the west and Conwy Marina to the east through a freshly created bicycle path.

It had everything we needed for our party of 10 (kids,teens and adults). The house is spread over 4 floors so it didn't feel like we we're on top of eachother all the time, there was space to come together as a big group but also space for you to get a bit of quiet. We had incredible beach views too. The local area had everything we needed, plenty of shops and places to eat. The beach was a short walk away. Penmaenmawr was also a really good location, there was plenty to do near by. We didn't have to drive far to get to places.

When we entered we thought what a beautiful home, very clean, and provided everything we needed, the owner thought of everything what we might need. Just perfect. The bed were very comfortable. Prefect that there are bathrooms on each floor! Perfect location, just 20-30 minutes to different town and beaches. Plenty of parking! Our family had a fantastic time staying in this beautiful home, we would definitely recommend 5
Darren
Kitchen well equipped for large groups especially the oven/hob. Great location with the beach 10 minute walk away and plenty of shops/takeaways to chose from & a friendly pub nearby. Only 2 minor negative comments that we discussed as a group was the comfort of the mattresses (but this was pointed out because we are probably spoilt at home with the quality of our own) and also could have done with another fridge or taller one to store the quantity of food that comes with large groups. Other than those more than happy with our stay & would definitely recommend
