About this property
Resting on the coast in Rhos-on-Sea is the charming, detached holiday home, Pencraig. This property sleeps up to eight guests in four bedrooms, making it the ideal setting for a family gathering in North Wales. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac, Pencraig welcomes you with off-road parking for three cars; after parking up step over the threshold into a large, bright hallway, leave your coat and shoes here, before unwinding in the sitting room. Relax while your favourite film plays in the background. As the evening draws to a close gather the family around the large dining table that overlooks the spacious garden and enjoy a home-cooked meal that was prepared in the full-equipped kitchen. The ground-floor games room will keep children occupied while you head upstairs to soak in a warm bath. When sleep calls retire upstairs where a super-king-size, double and twin room await; there is also a fun bunk room which children are sure to love. Pencraig is closely located to local amenities and close to the sea front, where you can enjoy fish and chips from The Galleon while strolling Rhos Promenade, then travel to the beach and soak up the sun while admiring the harbour. For a day out that the whole family will love, learn about rare and exotic animals such as red pandas, tigers and snow leopards at Welsh mountain zoo, and animal lovers should also head to SeaQuarium Rhyl to experience 30 exhibits and an outdoor cove for seals. You could also spend the day in Conwy and indulge in ice cream while walking the historic Conwy Town Walls and visiting the famous Conwy Castle, where you can also see the smallest house in Great Britain, which is 1.8 metres wide and dates back to the 16th century. Snowdonia National Park is just a short scenic drive away from Pencraig, and is bursting with walks and trails where you can experience the panoramic views of the Welsh coast and countryside. Make Pencraig your home-away-from-home for a memorable trip to North Wales.
Rhos-on-Sea, a charming seaside town in North Wales, is a popular tourist destination. It is the ideal location for a peaceful getaway thanks to its beautiful harbour and laid-back atmosphere. With Penrhyn Bay to the west, Colwyn Bay to the east as well as the towering Bryn Euryn, there's plenty to do here. At Bryn Euryn, visitors can take in the breathtaking views of the Irish Sea from the hill fort dubbed "Dinerth," while those who prefer a more leisurely walk can enjoy the beautiful scenery while strolling the promenade. At Port Eirias, where you can rent boats, kayaks, and windsurfers, you can also spend the day at Colwyn Bay's beach. Visit Rhos-on-Sea's golf club or go on a boat trip to see seals, porpoises, and dolphins. Rhos-on-Sea's proximity to Conwy Castle and Llandudno's Victorian seaside town means there is never a lack of things to do in the area.

Could be a nice property but there were so many small and not so small items that overall it was not what we expected for the price. Biggest issue was the en-suite shower. Unusable after we discovered water streaming through the ceiling into the kitchen light fittings on day one. Contacted the number given and was told that they had tried to repair it as they couldn't get the correct part - checking in reviews/comments it seems the problem goes back to the summer. As we were there over Christmas there was no hope of getting it fixed whilst there. We specifically chose this property as it had an en-suite shower, having two teenagers meant we preferred to have a separate shower. The house sleeps eight - the saucepans provided would barely feed 3. No serving dishes/serving spoons and really cheap cutlery (but strangely 20 dinner plates!). For a stay over christmas we would have preferred such kitchen basics over three small artificial trees and a bowl of baubles. As a relatively new house it was incredible how squeaky the upstairs floorboard were. I suspect the repeated flooding from the shower may have damaged the floorboards. The main bin outside was locked - a key was not provided but fortunately we were able to remove the lock. The outside food waste bin was full of maggots - someone had tipped food into it without a bag and it had all stuck to the bin. Quite disgusting. Internet was dreadful - again with teenagers this was important. The owner seems to think a 4g wifi box is adequate. It was impossible to watch online TV without severe buffering, and the signal struggled to reach the whole property. When running online broadband speed checks we got between 6 and 9MB. Not good enough in an area that can get 60MB+ and these days inadequate. The drive is getting mucky as the leaves accumulate and start rotting, and really needs some attention. Some cleaning was a little slapdash but overall not too bad. On a positive note the house was warm, although it is the first time I have had a boiler in a cupboard off the master bedroom. Location is also not bad, although some background noise was audible from the A55 and railway line.

Kitchen well stocked with pots, pans, salt, pepper etc. Only issue we had was when the ensuite shower was used it leaked through the kitchen ceiling and needs sorting before any major damage occurs. Property is in a lovely location and within easy reach of sea front, local shops and supermarkets. Would highly recommend this property and would love to revisit at some point.

There should be a indoor mat to wipe your feet from the the dirt leaves etc so you do not trail all this into the hall and elsewhere. When we were there the shower in master suite leaked through ceiling in kitchen this had been mentioned on a previous week not long before our week but not fixed. Also we did not know that the bins had to be put out down the little road before collection another reason for a book to instruct persons staying. Having said all this the house was very nice and spacious just dont think you need a large table in kitchen ?
