The house is beautifully decorated with real flair and style whilst maintaining a very cosy, homely feel. We enjoyed sitting round the log burner with a cup of tea and relaxing in the living room with views of the castle. The house is ideally located for exploring Conwy (2 min walk and you are in the ancient castle walls) and the local area. Conwy Morfa beach is lovely for a dog walk. Just two small things to consider providing to make the stay perfect: dishwasher tabs and firelighters.

My dog and I especially love the dining room where we read in the morning while waiting for the family to wake up with the French door open in any weather . Beautiful views of the castle from front lounge and bedrooms. Short distance to town which is very handy. Only one small bit of constructive feedback would be to have a couple of dishwasher tablets and bin liners left as these are very much needed - we paid about £250 more for the stay this year compared to last ( though the week after our stay was less ££ so I was a bit confused) so to have to buy these basic items in addition ( also to ensure everything is clean for future guests ) was just a little bit disappointing and another trip to spar and we donât own a dishwasher to use up the spares . Other than that weâd love to come back and hope to next year ( so will save the tablets for then ) . Thanks so much for a beautiful stay .

The area for parking was outside on the main road and often there was nowhere to park. This meant using the public car park on the other side of the road which involved payment. The other concern was the kitchen floor. I can understand the owners wish to keep the original floor tiles, which were lovely in the hall. However in the kitchen some tiles had chips out of them and I didn't find this hygienic. Otherwise everything was fine.
