Guests have praised the ample space, comfortable beds, and the property's suitability for celebrations and family get-togethers.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Several guests reported issues with cleanliness, including dirty dishes, grubby floors, and a general need for a deep clean. However, some noted that problems were addressed promptly when raised.

The property's location is highly praised for its convenience, being close to local amenities, the beach, and attractions in North Wales, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.

Guests found the beds comfortable and the showers of good pressure and temperature. However, some noted that the furniture in some rooms and the lounge could be updated for better comfort.

The property is well-stocked with games and kitchen equipment, suitable for large groups. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as broken appliances and the need for TLC in some areas.

While many guests were satisfied with the attention to detail and the amenities provided, there were no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

About this property

Cleverly converted from a traditional Victorian town centre inn, this is a stunning holiday property in a fantastic coastal location just 5 minutes' walk from the beach, in the heart of Old Colwyn on the beautiful North Wales coast. Set over 3 floors, The Ship Inn has been designed with clever finishing touches to create a feeling of warmth and intimacy, and the stylish modern furniture allows you to relax and socialise in comfort; ideal for a family celebration or for a group of friends to get together on the North Wales coast. There are a total of twelve bedrooms at this large Welsh cottage, ten of which have king-size beds, which can be converted into twin rooms on request, along with a ground floor twin with adjustable electric beds. The final bedroom is a very large dormitory room that sleeps twelve people with four quality bunk beds, suitable for adults, a 6ft zip/link bed and a further four trundle beds, making it a fantastic room for kids and teenagers! One of the bedrooms has en-suite facilities, plus there are a further six family bathrooms, one of which boasts a luxurious Jacuzzi bath. At this Old Colwyn cottage there are two spacious sitting rooms, both of which have a double sofa bed. The ground floor sitting room boasts a galleried ceiling, a full wall projector TV screen with surround sound for cinema effect, as well as a warming woodburning stove. The first floor sitting room provides a superb area to relax, chat, play on the Wii or watch Sky TV, with sports and movies on offer, whilst relaxing on the comfortable corner sofa which even houses a built in fridge! A games area offers a full-size pool table, whilst the kitchen and dining area is beautifully appointed with a full range of appliances, a large breakfast counter with six bar stools and two large refectory tables. Outside this large holiday home is a patio garden with barbecue facilities, along with a range of shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance. Two miles away is the popular resort of Colwyn Bay, whilst just a little further along the coast are the Victorian town of Llandudno, the Great Orme and the historic Conwy Castle. For the more energetic members of your party, the Snowdonia National Park is on the doorstep with its wide array of outdoor activities including walking, climbing and mountain biking. This is a superb spacious cottage offering the ideal venue for friends and families to get together and enjoy the delights of North Wales all year round.

Old Colwyn is a seaside town located to the east of the larger resort of Colwyn Bay. A wide promenade winds along the sweeping bay from Old Colwyn to Penrhyn Bay, with access to a long coastal cycle track, three miles of safe sandy beaches and the pier and harbour at Rhos-on-Sea.

    The place is perfect for catering for large parties. 2 Friges, 2 Freezers, 2 dishwasher (god send) and 2 sinks. As many choices of bedrooms as you wish. Mattresses were a little hard for my liking but that is personal preference. It was so nice to have space for everyone and the games tables were used constantly. There was laughter all round the whole time ot was great. Now for the bad.... the place needs a really deep clean and general spruce up. Cobwebs in living room and the floors were grubby and I'm not a massive clean freak really. I really do think that you should get a reputable cleaning company to go in and do a deep dive. Apart from that it was good.

    The cafe round the corner was very accommodating for such a large group and we loved how close it was to Aldi and other shops, we also highly recommend visiting Conwy Castle if you get the chance as it was stunning!! Will definitely come back if we're ever in need of a big space again

    On arrival the cleaners were still there, we were informed the previous guests had left it in an absolute mess. The place was dirty and grubby. Spoke to Ceri (housekeeping) who explained there should have been 3 cleaners but there was only 2. She was very apologetic and going to come the following day and hoover throughout the building, and sort out the areas that needed attention. (I actually cancelled the following day as all 29 of us were going to be in the house, so would have been very difficult to clean around us.) The staircase has obviously not been cleaned for quite some time, thick with dust. Surfaces in rooms tacky. All the cockery needed washing before using. None of the furniture had been moved for cleaning, filthy under sofas in lounge. There was a very strong smell of cannabis in one of the bedrooms, obviously not the owners fault, however the window is painted closed so could not be opened to air the room. The laundry room was full of dirty laundry, some in bags, some dirty towels strewn across the top of the washer and dryer. Ceri contacted the laundry person. The dirty laundry was removed sometime on our 2nd day. The furniture in the lounge is all old, uncomfortable, in poor condition and generally not fit for purpose, all needs replacing. The garage where the ping ping table is located is damp and musty smelling. The freezers both need defrosting. The house needs decorating and updating. The kitchen and dining area are great, spacious and well equipped. The number of bathroom/toilets is great. (Drainage issue in one bathroom). The bedrooms on the whole are fine, (drawers all broken in one room) The larger rooms, including the en suite and the dormitory, other than cleanliness, are fabulous. The furniture in the small upstairs lounge comfortable and pleasant to look at. The entertainment aspect of the house is brilliant, made the holiday. The whole family were able to be involved, and all were in constant use. Pool table, shuffleboard (had to request "sand" which was delivered on our 2nd day), ping ping-pong table, all added to our family fun. The location could not be better. Parking a godsend. Outside space small but pleasant. All in all we had a great time, it is a fabulous house but needs to be better cared for.
