Conwy, a World Heritage Site, is known for its history and architecture, but it's also a bustling town. Along with festivals, fairs, musical recitals, galleries, and historical attractions, there are shops, restaurants, and hotels. Conwy Castle was built for King Edward I between 1283 and 1287 to Master James of St. George's design. The narrow rocky outcrop on which the castle stands may have influenced its elongated shape with two barbicans, eight massive towers, and a bow-shaped hall. The town is proud of its historic traditions and celebrates them with annual festivals, events, and fairs, such as the Honey fair, Seed fair, and Gwledd Conwy Feast in October, along with other musical events. Conwy is a great base for exploring Snowdonia National Park, unspoiled beaches, and the local scenery. Surf Snowdonia is six miles away and Llechwedd Slate Caverns has Europe's longest zip line.

Kitchen and wet areas well supplied with all you need. Hot tub is great. However, routine maintenance and DIY repairs are not top of their list! The major problem for us was an infestation of flies which we had to deal with ourselves! Hundreds of flies entering the en-suite until we found where they were getting in and fixed it with no help from the owners except for 2 cans of flyspray. On the first night I saw flies gathered in the en-suite velux window so asked my son to open it to let the flies out - BIG mistake - when he opened it - hundreds of flies dropped on us and also entered the bedroom. It was like a horror movie! We didn't contact the owner because we know they were out celebrating a birthday but later when I did ask them to come and fill the hole in the ceiling where they were getting in, they left 2 cans of flyspray on the doorstep and said we should expect it in the country! We ended up taping over the hole in the ceiling. Every time, for 4 days out of 6, if I wanted to use the en-suite I had to vacuum up all the dead flies then spray fly killer as I left. Radiators needed bleeding - Pool table was broken - some door catches stick and trap youngsters in rooms - lounge sofa springs gone - thin towels - some beds hard. Not at all what you expect in such an expensive property. I complained and asked for a partial refund which was refused so I am now taking the matter to County Court. We will not be returning
