Guests that stayed at this property said

While many guests found the property to be clean and well-stocked, there were several mentions of areas needing attention, such as dirty floors, dusty surfaces, and the need for a deep clean. The feedback suggests room for improvement in this category.

The location is highly praised for its convenience, with easy access to local amenities, the beach, and attractions in North Wales. The availability of parking and the proximity to shops and public transport are frequently commended.

Guests have reported the beds to be clean and comfortable, and the property spacious enough for large groups. However, some have noted that certain rooms can be cold and that some furniture, particularly in the lounge, could benefit from updating.

The Ship Inn is equipped with a variety of games and entertainment options that guests have enjoyed. The kitchen is well-stocked for large groups. However, there are comments about the need for maintenance, such as fixing oven knobs, loose taps, and ensuring all advertised items like board games are available.

There is insufficient information in the reviews to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, a score cannot be given for this category.

About this property

Cleverly converted from a traditional Victorian town centre inn, this is a stunning holiday property in a fantastic coastal location just 5 minutes' walk from the beach, in the heart of Old Colwyn on the beautiful North Wales coast. Set over 3 floors, The Ship Inn has been designed with clever finishing touches to create a feeling of warmth and intimacy, and the stylish modern furniture allows you to relax and socialise in comfort; ideal for a family celebration or for a group of friends to get together on the North Wales coast. There are a total of twelve bedrooms at this large Welsh cottage, ten of which have king-size beds, which can be converted into twin rooms on request, along with a ground floor twin with adjustable electric beds. The final bedroom is a very large dormitory room that sleeps twelve people with four quality bunk beds, suitable for adults, a 6ft zip/link bed and a further four trundle beds, making it a fantastic room for kids and teenagers! One of the bedrooms has en-suite facilities, plus there are a further six family bathrooms, one of which boasts a luxurious Jacuzzi bath.

    There were 3 generations of us and the property was perfect for us. The open plan living accommodation was very sociable and the bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable. It is in a good location, close to the beach and shops and the local Indian take away provided an excellent meal for all of us. Not all the bathrooms had bath mats and as we were only provided with 1 towel each it was a bit difficult. Also having a hand towel would be appreciated. The owner was very helpful in setting up the bedrooms as we requested and came to check that we were happy with everything. We are hoping to come again next year.

    Close to shops, pubs and beach on the door step. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property with ample room for all.

  • Sharon

    The place is perfect for catering for large parties. 2 Friges, 2 Freezers, 2 dishwasher (god send) and 2 sinks. As many choices of bedrooms as you wish. Mattresses were a little hard for my liking but that is personal preference. It was so nice to have space for everyone and the games tables were used constantly. There was laughter all round the whole time ot was great. Now for the bad.... the place needs a really deep clean and general spruce up. Cobwebs in living room and the floors were grubby and I'm not a massive clean freak really. I really do think that you should get a reputable cleaning company to go in and do a deep dive. Apart from that it was good.
