About this property
Llandudno 3 miles.
A delightful, Grade II listed 18th century single-storey cottage, set in an elevated location on a quiet lane above Penrhynside, with stunning views over Penrhyn Bay. This Llandudno cottage is a superb retreat for romantic getaways and activity breaks in North Wales. Set next to the owners' home, this Llandudno cottage offers peace and tranquillity from the moment you arrive, with a spacious bedroom with exposed beams and a super king-size bed. The sitting room continues the traditional character of this Llandudno cottage, with exposed beams and stone wall, and a woodburner to keep you warm in the evening after a long walk along the coast. The fitted kitchen is well equipped and offers seating at a breakfast bar from which to enjoy the sea views. Outside there is a sun-soaked patio area overlooking the valley. Accessible hilltop walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep of this Llandudno cottage, with beautiful views from the top over Llandudno and Conwy bays, Snowdonia, Anglesey, and even the Isle of Man on a clear day. This is a superb, quiet Llandudno cottage getaway, yet only a short stroll to two CAMRA award-winning pubs in the centre of Penrhynside, making it an ideal location to enjoy any time of the year.
The Victorian seaside town of Llandudno has a grand promenade, two beaches, and a good selection of shops, pubs and eateries. For superb views over the town and coast, head up the magnificent Great Orme using the tramway or cable car. The rest of the north Wales coast is easily accessible, as are the delights of Snowdonia, and the beaches and villages of Anglesey.

Well equipped & maintained . Bathroom was very small & a little uncomfortable when using the toilet . We found it easier to walk into the village rather than drive as the roads are very narrow & steep hills , we have a small suv but anything bigger would definitely struggle .

It made a lovely holiday for our engagement. The cottage is beautiful and in a stunning location with easy access to Llandudno. The area not only has a beautiful view but is also very peaceful. The bedroom is a good size with a very comfortable bed, and we both slept soundly, even though it was a little stormy during our stay. The living room has some beautiful stonework, and along with the fire, makes for a very cosy room. It has a TV with plenty of streaming services, so there's more than enough to watch. The kitchen is perfect for self-catering, and the hosts left some cakes and milk, which was a nice touch. There are a couple of nice walks from the cottage. The Penrhyn Arms is a couple of minutes' walk from the cottage. Both their woodfire pizza and Sunday lunch are highly recommended. They serve good beer and have a nice atmosphere. We only briefly met with the hosts due to us having a reactive dog, and asked the hosts to give her space, which they respectfully did, but they both seemed lovely. Highly recommend this cottage, we will definitely visit again.
