“Marlin Cottage is a beautiful compact cosy home within walking distance of Conwy town.”

The owner, has thought of everything! The attention to detail is outstanding! Truly exceptional in every way. The enclosed garden is very pretty and no doubt a sun trap in the warmer months. Thankyou Liz for making me feel very welcome, I will be back!

“Fabulous cottage, kept very clean and with every need anticipated!”

Within walking distance from Conway town in a quiet road; considerate parking required. Details of cottage, appliances and local eateries supplied along with books on the local areas. Stairs narrow and unsuitable for anyone with mobility problems but this was pointed out in the description. Charming, very helpful owner obviously loved by all her guests! Would stay again!

“Second visit to This lovely cottage.”

John September 2024

“Very cosy little cottage.”

Extremely well appointed. Had problems with shower which was quickly resolved by owner. Some missing channels on TV which needs sorting but otherwise we would highly recommend this accommodation. The owner Liz was very friendly and helpful.

Stephen August 2024

“Amazing small but perfectly formed cottage ideal for 2 people and within easy (but slightly hilly) walking distance of the town centre.”

We've never stayed in such well equipped accommodation, everything you could possibly want is provided and is top quality. As identified in the cottage description the stairs are extremely narrow and steep but wouldn't be a problem for anyone who doesn't have mobility issues. Also, parking on the quiet cul-de-sac outside is at a premium but we had no issues finding a space. Cannot recommend highly enough

- Stephen, August 2024
Mark August 2024

“Simply wonderful cottage, so well eqipped and everything we could have wished for.”

One of the best cottages we have stayed in. We will definately be staying again.

- Mark, August 2024
Linda August 2024

“A beautiful, clean property provided with everything you could need for when you arrive.”

There is so much love and attention put into the property by Liz the owner it could not be faulted. It also has the benefit of being within minutes walking of Conwy centre but the property itself is very quiet. We did not find parking a problem either. Excellent property.

- Linda, August 2024
Margaret July 2024

“This cottage genuinely could not have been better.”

The whole place sparkled, the bed and living room furniture were beyond comfortable, the shower was excellent, and the kitchen was equipped as though someone actually lived there. The garden was a lovely spot to relax at the end of the day. Liz left thoughtful welcome gifts and was readily available if needed. It's right outside the town walls, so an easy 10 minute walk to anything in Conwy but also easy to get out of town - and there's lots to see in the vicinity. Would love to return.

- Margaret, July 2024
Neil July 2024

“What a lovely cottage.”

Everything you could need and more. Beautifully clean, great welcome pack and personal greeting with the owner. We are already planning when to return.

- Neil, July 2024
Keith June 2024

“What a super, comfy cottage - only 5 minutes walk into the centre of Conwy - a great base to enjoy all that North Wales has to offer.”

The owner, Liz, sets the bar very high for cleanliness and 'little extra touches' - all very much appreciated. The treats on arrival (along with milk, tea, coffee and refrigerated, bottled water) were lovely. We left our car at home. The bus service and train service from Conwy are very good. Thank you Liz, your kindness and thoughtfulness have given us a great 'home from home' in Conwy. We'll certainly return. x

- Keith, June 2024
John June 2024

“This is our third visit to Marlin Cottage which is well situated in Conwy, near the Castle walls, and within an easy walk to the Quayside and shops.”

The cottage is well furnished and fully equipped to ensure comfortable stay. It is a proper home from home and my wife and I hope to return next year. Five stars.

- John, June 2024
Brian April 2024

“This beautiful cottage has everything you could possible need, however there is a big issue with lack of parking.”

It is situated on a hill and if you have mobility problems then this is not the place to stay. We were told to move our car twice within five minutes of arriving so unfortunately we won’t be returning.

- Brian, April 2024

The standard of cleanliness, and the facilities provided are all outstanding and beyond anything my wife and I have experienced before. Liz, provided us with an extremely nice welcome pack as well as a very warm and helpful greeting to the cottage. We felt at home immediately and will not hesitate to return in the future.

John June 2023

“This is our second stay at Marlin Cottage, Conwy.”

The cottage is beautifully furnished and equipped with everything (central heating, washing machine, dishwasher etc.) that could be needed for a visit. The decking area at the rear of the cottage is perfect to sit with a glass on an evening. The cottage is located close to Conwy Castle and local amenities, with many places of interest nearby. The owner Liz is very helpful with information about the area, and her "welcome trays" have local delicacies. This cottage deserves its 5 star rating and we hope to visit again in the future. Thanks Liz.

- John, June 2023

Katherine April 2023

“Marlin Cottage was exactly as shown on the photos.”

It was cosy and homely and spotlessly clean. We met Liz the owner and she gave us information where to eat and where to go during our stay. She had thought of everything in the cottage even down to a “bits and pieces” tray containing blue tack, sellotape, sewing kit etc. The smart TV also had Netflix so you can catch up with any programmes you want, amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends. Thank you Liz for your hospitality and love you have put into the the cottage.

“Marlin Cottage is an excellent place for a couple to stay, if visiting the Conwy area.”

The cottage is cosy, beautifully furnished and fully equipped. The owner, Liz, provides a well stocked "welcome tray" for arrivals and there is an information pack about the house containing details of places to visit in the area. Conwy itself is very picturesque and, despite the weather, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage. The best recommendation that we can give is that we hope to return to Marlin Cottage next year.

- Darren, April 2022
Calum April 2022

“The cottage was perfect - cosy and warm with everything you could possibly need.”

The owner provided lots of little extras to make the stay even better. The cottage is really well situated just a 5 minute walk from the town centre. The only slight criticism is that parking can get difficult on the street but there is a public car park just a short walk away, which we used twice in the week. We had a wonderful week in Conwy which is a lovely place in itself but also perfectly situated to explore both the coast and Snowdonia!

- Calum, April 2022
David April 2022

“Marlin Cottage is a beautiful place to stay for exploring North Wales.”

A few minutes walk from the centre of Conwy and only 30 minutes drive from all the main places to visit in North Wales. Liz was an amazing host and went above and beyond making sure we had everything to make our stay a comfortable one. Inside the cottage amenities were fabulous and there was so much attention to detail on the soft furnishings. I would highly recommend a stay here and hope to return soon to this beautiful gem in Conwy! Thank you Liz

Evan August 2021

“The cottage is lovely and quaint on top of a hill in Conwy.”

Liz the owner has thought of everything and left a lovely welcome pack containing wine, welsh cakes, tea, biscuits and coffee. The house has everything you could want and was great to relax in after long days of walking in the surrounding hills and towns. Communication from the owner was superb and she even kindly posted a bag back to me that I left behind after my stay. I highly recommend this cottage both for the cottage itself and the attentiveness of the owner.

- Evan, August 2021
Peter June 2021

“Liz was a lovely host and made the cottage very welcoming for us with some fantastic touches.”

There is everything you could need and more in the cottage, I don’t know how she’s thought of so many things. The cottage is on a really quiet road but only 5 mins walk down to the lovely town of Conwy which has lots to see and lots of lovely cafes, restaurants and bakeries. You park on the road and I was worried about not getting a spot after we had been out but we went out 5 days and always got parked up fine. A fantastic cottage and made for a fantastic holiday. Amazing.

About the location

CONWY

Llandudno 5 miles; Betws-y-Coed 16 miles.

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 Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), walking unspoilt sandy beaches, or taking in the wonderful scenery on your doorstep. Also within reach are the Llechwedd Slate Caverns, which has the longest zip wire in Europe, and Surf Snowdonia is just six miles away.
