Be welcomed by three off-road parking spaces, where you can unload your belongings, before making yourself at home in your new abode.

Climb the stairs to reach three well-appointed bedrooms, including three doubles and a twin, all benefiting from access to a bathroom, shower room and cloakroom. Once you're ready to tour Conwy, be spoilt for choice when dining out and stocking up on the essentials, whilst Conwy Castle and The Smallest House In Great Britain are worth discovering whilst in the area; outdoor enthusiasts will also enjoy following the Llwybr Moryd Conwy Estuary Trail, hiking through Bodlondeb Woods, and birdwatching from RSPB Conwy. Travel north to fill your itinerary with all that Llandudno has to offer, with its bustling pier, Great Orme Summit Complex, and golden sands of North Shore Beach, or head south with Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park ready to traverse. Be sure to stop off at Betws-y-Coed for the chance to trek through Gwydir Forest Park, enjoy a thrill-seeking activity at Zip World Fforest, or take in the beauty of Rhaeadr Y Graig Lwyd, before heading to one of the many independent shops or cafes in the village. All of this and more awaits at Bryn Gwynedd.
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. The town is proud of its historic traditions and celebrates its past by retaining many of these in its annual festivals, events and fairs, including the Honey fair, Seed fair and Gwledd Conwy Feast in October, along with other musical events throughout the year. Conwy is the perfect base for exploring the dramatic Snowdonia National Park, walking unspoilt sandy beaches, or taking in the wonderful scenery on your doorstep. Also within reach are the Llechwedd Slate Caverns, which has the longest zip wire in Europe, and Surf Snowdonia is just six miles away.

There was 5 of us in total along with a one year old and dog and the house made it so easy to wind down, relax and enjoy the time together. The whole place was very clean and tidy, all the appliances were high spec and the bedrooms were a great size with comfy beds. The bifold doors which open out from the kitchen onto the patio made it perfect to enjoy nice weather and socialise together. Having a secure garden at the back as well as the front was extremely convenient for the dog and the same can be said for a driveway that fits up to three cars on. Would 100% stay here again

There were two broken toilet seats, which Iâm sure had been reported by other guests. The shower downstairs flooded the first time I had a shower. I didnât notice to begin with which meant the water ran under the door. I took out the plug, which was quite stuck and didnât come out easily. It did drain eventually. I had to dry the floors with towels. I suffer from arthritis and the bending didnât help my back, apart from spoiling the experience. The shower upstairs was dirty and unfit for use. The shower room is very small and is difficult to get in and out of. Both TVs in the bedrooms were broken neither had remote controls, disappointing obviously. The outside areas and the gardens were in need of a good clean. Gardens overgrown and full of weeds, a shame as they could have been lovely to relax in and enjoy. The garden furniture, again was dirty and unfit for use. Two things really upset us. When we arrived and were looking around, carrying in our luggage the owner was in the room. This is unacceptable, he should have waited until we were organised and then knocked on the door and explained what he was doing. He said he was mending a lamp, but he didnât therefore we only had one small lamp in the lounge which was dark without the ceiling light on. He could have brought another lamp the next door. One morning I was on my own in the property, there was a knock on the door. I was reluctant to answer the door, but the knocking persisted so I walked around the back. A man, claiming to be a gardener, said that the owner had sent him to look round the garden with a view to doing some work. This was not an appropriate time for him to come, obviously not the gardenerâs fault. Some pots and pans were dirty, a small thing but unacceptable when the holiday maker is sent two messages as to how to leave the property, pots clean etc! The property looks very welcoming and is well equipped. Beds were comfortable with lovely linen on. There were plenty of towels. One aspect worried me, there are no blinds or curtains in the kitchen, which is very overlooked and in the dining room. Had I been on my own I would have been reluctant to go in these areas after dark.

Quite awkward with a large vehicle.The bathrooms have already been mentioned by previous guests, we found the bath rather difficult to manage was a case of style over substance. The beds were very comfortable as was the lounge furniture. Could have done with instructions re the TV.
