Hilltop Cottage

About this property

Hilltop Cottage is a beautifully refurbished one-bedroom cottage, nestled just outside the town walls of the picturesque medieval town of Conwy. Hilltop Cottage has been meticulously restored, stripped back to stone, and completely reimagined with high-end finishes and modern luxuries, blending timeless heritage features with contemporary style. Offering off-road parking for two cars and an EV charging point, this charming cottage is perfect for couples and one well-behaved dog seeking a serene escape, with the historic town and its attractions just a short stroll away. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting area is a beautifully designed centrepiece of the cottage. With branded appliances including a double oven, washer-dryer, fridge-freezer, full-size dishwasher, and drinks chiller, the kitchen is ideal for preparing leisurely meals or winding down in comfort.

The kitchen-dining area is finished with French limestone flagged floors and underfloor heating. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open seamlessly into the tranquil garden, flooding the space with natural light and fresh air. The sitting room area is set on a warm oak floor, which brings a stylish sense of continuity and, with its inviting log-burner set in a Welsh slate hearth, provides an elegant space in which to unwind. Upstairs, you’ll find a stunning vaulted ceiling with oak trusses, and a feature Sputnik chandelier adds a touch of elegance. The comfortable window seat has sweeping views of the distant valley and mountains.

The luxurious bathroom and shower room both have underfloor heating, with a quirky copper slipper bath and dual washbasins from the London Basin Company, perfect for indulgent moments of relaxation. The view from the bath, down the estuary to the hills beyond, is the best in the cottage. The bespoke oak staircase and joinery throughout the cottage add an extra layer of craftsmanship and heritage. Outside, the suntrap courtyard garden – with the medieval town walls almost within touching distance – is an oasis of calm, complete with a hot tub, outdoor shower, and a Kamado-style BBQ with a Welsh slate preparation bench.

The carefully chosen Mediterranean-inspired planting, including mature olive trees, creates a serene and stylish atmosphere, especially at night, with its thoughtfully placed lighting. A refundable security bond is required for this property. Explore the rich history of Conwy Castle, catch a performance at Venue Cymru, or visit The Smallest House in Great Britain. Spend a leisurely afternoon at Llandudno Pier or take in the natural beauty of Y Gogarth Great Orme Country Park and the vibrant Llandudno Promenade. For breath-taking scenery, venture to Swallow Falls, stroll across Pont-y-Pair Bridge, or wander through Gwydir Forest Park. However you choose to spend your days, Hilltop Cottage offers a tranquil retreat to return to each evening.

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 to enjoy
