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.

Great facilities. The hosts were brilliant. I had problems with the oven. Rang the owners and the husband came around very quickly. There was nothing wrong with the oven, just my stupidity unable to put it on. We had a lovely chat. The next day Sian came around with some gifts for our 10 year old granddaughter Molly. Molly was thrilled. What a wonderful gesture.. Parking was difficult at times. My wife and I are both 76 years old and my wife had difficulty coming back from town because of the steep hills. We have a very happy time and loved getting back to the house. Molly loved it there,
