“Gorgeous little cottage perfectly placed for the town centre and surrounding areas.”

Loved the quirkiness of it and the two parking spaces were a real bonus. Conwy is a beautiful town with lots of lovely shops and cafes/restaurants/bars. Would definitely stay again

“It’s a lovely property, well placed in Conwy.”

Can’t wait to come back

Mark September 2024

“The cottage isn't suitable for the aged or infirm because of the stairs, the dog had to be let out of the front door onto a busy street, the photos of the lounge made it look like it was bigger.”

- Mark, September 2024
Alfred August 2024

“An excellent property well located.”

The only difficulty is having to pass through one bedroom to access the other which may limit the property letting.

- Alfred, August 2024
Craig August 2024

“Lovely cottage in a great location so near to the castle and shops.”

Very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Also really handy being able to park the car so close. Thank you.

- Craig, August 2024
Nikki June 2024

“Our stay at Millgate House in one word was perfect.”

There was not one complaint about the house. The comfort and cleanliness was faultless. There was everything we needed in the house. We have stayed in Conwy many times but this house was the best to stay in. The only thing we were disappointed in was having to leave and we will definitely be back. Thank you so much, the perfect week is the only way I can describe it.

- Nikki, June 2024
Elaine June 2024

“We found Millgate House super clean warm and comfortable.”

The toilets on every floor were very useful. It was in a good location. The down side was that the bedrooms were accessed through each other. Also I feel the second floor stairs would have benefited from a second hand rail as the first floor had. The owner/managers were helpful on the one occasion we contacted them.

- Elaine, June 2024
Helen May 2024

“A beautiful, well presented and very clean property in the heart of Conwy town (with parking!”

). It is a real home from home, and has everything that you could possibly need whilst away. The welcome pack including fresh milk, was really appreciated, and Rachel and Lorna were both extremely helpful hosts. We will definitely return.

“Fantastic cottage fab little town can't beat it”

Catherine April 2024

“This property is in a great location and we found it to be extremely comfortable, clean and very well appointed.”

All the equipment worked perfectly, including a very good sized television. The water was always hot, the bathrooms very modern and the beds extremely comfortable. It was all positive with no negative issues at all - and the welcome tray with the delicious Bara Brith loaf was a nice touch. We were two old friends so having one bedroom through the other was not a problem for us and it would be fine for a young family. That might be a bit less successful for two couples staying together. We really enjoyed our stay in the Cottage and recommend it highly..

- Catherine, April 2024
Brian March 2024

“Well fitted out and excellent finish.”

Beds comfortable, kitchen easily worked. Heating good, tv, too. Very handy location and parking. One sofa low and in need to replacement. Welcome pack with coffee, milk and cake. Would return.

- Brian, March 2024
Alison March 2024

“A lovely clean and comfortable town house, with parking just a stone's throw away an absolute bonus in Conwy.”

- Alison, March 2024
Robert November 2023

“Great location for self catering get away, being in the town lots of pubs and cafes just a stones throw away, plus Spar shop open 7 days a week early until late at night also local off licences, chip shops, bakeries etc so you can decide meal by meal what to have and where with no need to plan ahead just see what you feel like - go out or get something to eat in back to the cottage.”

Cottage itself is over 3 floors very clean modern & nicely done boutique style I'd say, with a toilet on every level it's well thought out and with private parking highly recommended

- Robert, November 2023
Michael September 2023

“Blind broke pully at the side down stairs ,water soaking in to the work top near sink and sofa a bit tired but saying this it a good place to stay and decorated very well we enjoyed our week.”

Bonus parking for two cars would go again

- Michael, September 2023
Samantha September 2023

“We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Millgate House.”

The property is in a perfect location right in the centre of Conwy with the added bonus of parking. The decor is beautiful throughout and to a high standard. Communication was really good and there was a lovely welcome pack on arrival. The house has everything you need for a lovely stay in the area and there are plenty of nice places to eat in the town. The Erskine Arms opposite is superb and lovely inside. Despite being in the town there was no noise and we felt totally relaxed. We loved the property so much we will definitely come back. Lovely walks nearby on the Conwy mountains and along the river at Betsw y coed. A beautiful dog friendly beach too at Morfa beach. You can also visit the smallest house in Britain which is in the town. The only thing we would change is the seating in the lounge. For 2 people we managed ok but it wasn’t that comfortable. If the sofa was replaced with a bigger L shaped one which seats 4 adults, rather than having the rocking chair and table that would make this property perfect. Thanks for a great stay in your lovely home and we look forward to coming back again.

- Samantha, September 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words. So glad you enjoyed your stay. Just to let you know we are in the process of getting a new sofa X Property Owner
Geoffrey September 2023

“After reading the reviews of Millgate House we thought the property would be adequate for two, but sadly not.”

The seating would not accommodate four people and was extremely uncomfortable badly in need of replacement. There were no wardrobes just a rail, which was too close to the bed. We always rent properties for four people to ensure comfort. By Tuesday we had had enough and decided to come home. I might add we are average sized people, not overweight.

- Geoffrey, September 2023

We are sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your holiday at Millgate House. However we’re surprised that you scored us so low for accuracy of listing and comfort which is in contrast to many positive reviews we have received and we believe that the photos and listing show clearly that this is a small town house. We appreciate that everybody has different tastes and needs and we’re sorry that our house didn’t match yours. Property Owner
Richard September 2023

“This property not only met, but exceeded our expectations.”

A fantastic well-presented town house oozing history, right in the centre of town, and a brilliant base from which to explore the surrounding area. Great local pubs too, to while away a few hours after a day's walking.

- Richard, September 2023
Carol July 2023

“A charming cottage, feels like part of the castle wall.”

Excellent location for Conwy and surrounding areas. Close to good cafés and restaurants. Bus and train links within short walking distance. Beautifully presented and spotless.

- Carol, July 2023
Clair July 2023

“What a fantastic place to stay; could not fault a thing about Millgate House.”

Lorna and Rachel have really put lots of thought and effort into the house from the decor, to the layout and all the lovely finishing touches…just perfect. We are already thinking of a second stay later in the year.

- Clair, July 2023
Alan May 2023

“Everything was very good.”

The cottage has an excellent washing machine with a selectable one-hour wash/dry cycle. 0nly disadvantage is the fact that the front door frontage is used as a car park and pedestrian walkway. Difficult to unload luggage and enter the house. Also, people (tourists) walking past the lounge widow most of the day. Apart from that everything is 5 stars.

- Alan, May 2023
L March 2023

“Gorgeous cottage in fantastic location.”

Added bonus having 2 parking spaces. Beautifully renovated and great to have downstairs toilet for our elderly mum. Super comfortable beds too. Thank you!

Amazing family stay 24-27th feb X2 adults x1 child and a dog Perfect location on the door step to everything Very comfortable and clean No garden wasn’t a problem atall as you come out of the door and turn right and there’s plenty of grass to take your furry friend out for the toilet Already looking forward to staying again

Jan February 2023

“Lovely accommodation, spotlessly clean, and wonderfully warm for a late-winter week.”

Single beds extremely comfortable, bedroom spacious enough, ensuite well-appointed and spotless. The boot room is a very useful space. The kitchen is well-planned for function, and all appliances and usual equipment available, other than dishwasher (who was too busy editing his photos of the stunning locations). The living space is small but cleverly planned for comfortable TV-watching. The wi-fi was perfect. The location of Millgate House is central to Conwy, and the parking a few paces away. North Wales itself is a wonderful mix of stunning countryside, with Snowdonia close by, and easily accessible coastal towns.

- Jan, February 2023
Jenny December 2022

“We have had a lovely stay at Millgate House.”

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The location was ideal for exploring Conwy and the local area and the car parking spaces were invaluable. I mentioned to our hosts that we may be a late arrival. When we got to the cottage the lights were on and it was lovely and warm. Little touches like that made all the difference. Thank you.

- Jenny, December 2022
Sandra December 2022

“Millgate House is a lovely property & right in the centre of Conwy.”

The cottage is very tastefully decorated & very cosy for 2 people & 1 small dog. I think it would be a little small for more than 2 people as the downstairs is very small. Great to have a private parking space right next to the cottage. All in all we really enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

- Sandra, December 2022
David September 2022

“One of the newest decorated property that we ve stayed in.”

Great taste, design, quality items throughout. Ground floor living kitchen( also a small room with toilet and basin) then up the stairs to first floor bedroom (2single beds with shower and toilet-beds sizes were OK for 2 adults) To go to the second bedroom you do have to go through first bedroom but we didn't see any issues with that. The second bedroom has got a double bed and a big bathroom with bath and toilet. The communication with the host was excellent We had space to park 2 cars which is a bonus. Thank you very much for the experience

- David, September 2022
Sarah August 2022

“Excellent location.”

House has loads of character and was immaculately clean with everything you could want for your stay.

- Sarah, August 2022
Jim August 2022

“What a wonderful place, Conwy is a beautiful town and this place is right in the middle of everything.”

The rear wall is actually part of Conwy Castle!!! Perfect parking right next to the building for two cars and a visitor's place is the next building along. Ever so tidy, basically newly refurbished and the beds are oh so comfy. A great place.

- Jim, August 2022
R Charles August 2022

“Overall, we loved the house, its location and, most especially, the provision of two parking spaces.”

Cleanliness was exemplary. The ground floor seating area was slightly small for four adults, but good enough for a holiday period. The absence of a dishwasher is understood on space grounds, but we missed one! The bedrooms and bathrooms were fine, and, for us, access to the second bedroom through the first did not present a problem.

- R Charles, August 2022
Michael July 2022

“A nice property but not somewhere I would choose to stay again.”

Good central location but it was quite a cramped 1 bedroom cottage with the middle floor converted to a walkthrough second bedroom. We were a couple staying away but if we had been with friends or children this would have been a disaster when trying to go to bed / get up in a morning. We picked it for the convenience of being in the centre of Conwy but no garden was not as easy as I thought with a dog, and not ideal in summer even if we hadn’t had a dog. Also was a late decision so options were more limited. Very clean. Comfortable memory foam beds. Good parking given it’s location. Poor water pressure and water heat which wouldn’t bode well for winter stays. Nice equipped kitchen but quite cramped (see small cottage) and a very small under counter fridge / freezer).

- Michael, July 2022

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that you would not return to Millgate House. I appreciate you raising your concerns about the hot water / pressure. This has not been mentioned by previous guests so I will definitely check it out. Regarding the lack of a garden; I hope it is clear from the particulars that the house doesn't have a garden and I am sorry if you missed that detail. We are dog friendly to be as inclusive as possible and there are many lovely walks within a stone's throw of the front door. I’m glad you didn’t have a ‘disaster’ on finding that you need to access the top bedroom via the middle bedroom. This detail - which I’m aware won’t suit everyone - is also noted in our particulars on Sykes’ website. Many families have stayed with us and have been perfectly satisfied with the configuration of the property, again I am sorry it did not suit you. However, I am very glad that we were able to accommodate your last minute booking. Regards Lorna and Rachel Property Owner
Sue July 2022

“Lovely little cottage, exceptionally clean and well equipped kitchen with very new looking crockery etc.”

Having to take your rubbish to local bin collection point a bit annoying but can't be helped. I should have liked to have a spare key as holidaying with adult son and we had different timings. But a great holiday liovely place.

- Sue, July 2022
Kaye June 2022

“Lovely cottage, fantastic position and beautifully presented.”

Did not realise that to get to the main bedroom you had to go through the second bedroom and the living area good for two adults but a bit cramped for four, better for two adults and two kids!! We were two adults and thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you.

- Kaye, June 2022
Roger June 2022

“Lovely house right in the centre of Conwy.”

Parking at the property, which was a real bonus. Kitchen really well equipped. Very comfy bed. Fresh and clean throughout. All in all, would highly recommend.

- Roger, June 2022
Emma June 2022

Jean May 2022

“A wonderful location.”

So convenient for all Conwy has to offer. The house is spotlessly clean and has been modernised to a very high standard. Our only negative comment is that we weren't aware from the description of the property that to get to the bedroom on the second floor we had to walk through the bedroom on the first floor.

- Jean, May 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay at Millgate House. We have been in touch with Sykes and they have now amended the description regarding the access to top bedroom. Property Owner
Malcolm May 2022

“Excellent property in prime location to vist town with easy local private parking.”

Rachel is very friendly and helpful. Would definately return again for another short break.

- Malcolm, May 2022
Beverley May 2022

“Cottage was booked fairly last minute for a long weekend break.”

House is in a great location, just a few minutes walk from the Main Street, is easy to find and with the added bonus of designated parking. Received email instructions for entry. The cottage was extremely clean and the beds comfortable. One think not mentioned on the details is the third bedroom is accessed through the twin room. Not a problem for us but maybe for some families. Minor irritation was the TV. There is no Ariel reception and all TV has to be watched through the apps. To rectify this simply would be to add a sky TV box. On contacting the owners they were very helpful and offered to come and show me how to watch live TV, you can but it’s through an app, so no channel hopping. Some people may struggle with this. You can sign in to Netflix or Prime but of course you need a subscription. Overall the positives outweigh the negatives and I would recommend the cottage. We had an enjoyable few nights.

- Beverley, May 2022

The perfect place for a family holiday, Millgate House is set over three floors, offering fantastic views of the walls, as well as being within reach of a range of the region's sights, from Anglesey to Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park.

Upon arrival, you'll be relieved to discover two designated parking spaces, so you can get settled in with little hassle.

Progress inside to be welcomed by a charming open-plan living space, where everything you need for a self-catering holiday can be found, including a well-equipped kitchen offering a selection of integrated appliances, including a handy washing machine.

The chef of the group can rustle up tasty dinners here, to be enjoyed at the adjacent breakfast bar over a glass of wine.

Continue to the sitting area where you can kick back and relax on the plush seating and enjoy a show on the flatscreen TV.

Progress to the back of the property to come across a handy boot room, which enjoys the fantastic feature of the actual town walls; this quirky feature can be enjoyed in the neighbouring cloakroom, too.

When night falls, climb the stairs to the first floor, where one of the two well-presented bedrooms awaits, with this one being the twin room that benefits from an en-suite shower room.

Climb the stairs again to the second floor, where the fabulous king-size bedroom awaits, where ample storage, a king-size bed and a superb en-suite bathroom can be found.

There are plenty of attractions to experience right on your doorstep in Conwy; head through the archway and discover the grassy grounds of Conwy Castle - The perfect spot for a picnic whilst the children play, or for a stroll with your canine companion.

Or discover the quirky delight of The Smallest House in Great Britain.

After exploring these sights, why not enjoy Bodlondeb Park or stop for a bite to eat at The Erskine Arms or The George & Dragon?

Make your way along the River Conwy to find the coastline, where the idyllic Conwy Marina, along with the delights of Conwy Caernarvonshire Golf Club and Conwy Beach await.

For more coastal fun, be sure to visit Llandudno, where a fabulous promenade offering coastal walks to Llandudno Pier and the town's beaches can be found, along with the stunning Great Orme Country Park with its ski centre and Summit Cable Car Station.

Rhos-on-Sea, Colwyn Bay and Caernarfon are all within reach and offer plenty more to experience.

Whatever you choose to get up to, choose Millgate House for a superb base to return to each day.

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 (Snowdonia) National Park, 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.
