“We have never been to Conwy before but from the very start of our stay we were met with care and hospitality we will never forget.”

The hosts for the Old Sweet Shop, Darren and Surita, left us a lovely surprise of some wine, nibbles and treats for our dog and even decorated the house in Halloween decorations and left a massive bunch of Halloween style things for my little boy. This was a lovely touch and set the tone for the rest of the stay. The accommodation is on two floors but also has a little basement with some kids games and a study if you can handle the 5 foot headroom. The space is used extremely well and all fixtures, fittings, equipment and furnishing was a very nice standard and something we would be happy to have in our own home. I was a little confused as to where to park my car but we sorted it out quickly and didn’t use it all that much as there is so much to see and do in little Conwy. We went to Llandudno and Bewts-Y-Coed as well, both of which were lovely. Definitely recommended and will more than likely return for a cheeky break at some point in the future. 5 stars from the adults, 5 stars from the child and, if she could speak, 5 stars from our pooch.

- Richard, October 2024

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. And for picking the old sweet shop for your first visit to conwy we do appreciate that, were glad you enjoyed the halloween theme ,were so happy you and your family and pooch enjoyed your stay, we hope you do come back for a cheeky break! :) Property Owner

“We have stayed in many houses and cottages in Conwy over the 15 years we have been visiting, and this one is absolutely the best one yet.”

The house is beautiful, well presented, immaculately decorated and maintained and every possible requirement has been thought of and provided. The owners left us a lovely welcome message, wine and nibbles upon entering. Even our dog had treats and toys to choose from. We will definitely be staying here many more times in the future. Thank you.

Elaine October 2024

“We had a lovely chilled week in Conwy at The Old Sweet Shop.”

The property was spotlessly clean and felt very warm and welcoming. The owners go above and beyond with their welcome pack and a great supply of food essentials for cooking should you need them. Conwy is a beautiful place, very friendly and has everything you need within walking distance from the cottage. Parking is very easy to sort, a very short walk from the cottage and you can pay for a week using the app.

- Elaine, October 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback, we do try our best to accommodate all our guest needs. We’re so happy you enjoyed beautiful conwy. We hope you will visit again. Property Owner
Richard September 2024

“We had a marvellous holiday, in no small part down to the quality and location of the accommodation.”

Darren saw us on departure and was keen to make sure everything had been to our liking. The property had everythiing we anticipated and more - particularly with basics like essential food (e.g. bread, spread, tea, coffee, jam, milk, fruit squash), ample loo rolls, washing and cleansing products and so on. We have often found it necessary to take these with us so that we can settle in without having to rush to a supermarket as soon as we have unpacked. It made the start of our holiday relaxed and we were able to get all our favourite items the following day. On top of this there were some much appreciated luxury treats like local fruit bread, a bottle of wine, scones and the like. The location was perfect to explore the old town of Conwy with it's historical interest and the scenic marina. Fresh fish and mussels from the quayside were a highlight that we were able to take advantage of with being self catering. We also found the local butcher/delicatessen had very high quality produce that gave an excuse for some indulgence! We are keen walkers and the local surroundings give almost unlimited opportunity for hill and beach walking. We took full advantage and were lucky enough to only have one day of non-stop rain. The Albion P.H. just a few doors away offered excellent ale and friendly company during the deluge!

Loretta September 2024

“I would highly recommend this fabulous cottage, it was immaculately clean, lovely tasteful decor and the owners had provided everything needed for a perfect stay.”

My son was celebrating his 21st birthday and when we arrived the cottage had been decorated with banners and balloons as well as a lovely cake and party food and even a birthday card, he was really impressed. There were also other lovely food items and treats for the dog. The cottage is furnished to a high standard and very modern. The owners were very helpful and responded to queries promptly before our arrival. If you are thinking of booking this lovely home you will not be disappointed. Conwy is a great base for a holiday in North Wales, we also visited Angelsey during our stay and enjoyed Newborough beach and Benllech.

Alyson August 2024

“Absolutely wonderful accommodation.”

The owner has thought about every eventuality, especially if you have forgotten to take something. Extremely well equipped kitchen, bathroom. Comfortable beds. Totally central for the town and station. Despite being next to train line this was not an issue noise wise. Very close to local park to walk our dog, who was also catered for generously. Lovely generous welcome hamper too…always a bonus. Have and will continue to recommend this property. Would definitely return. Thankyou, It is such a relief to find the place you have booked, fullfills and more, your expectations.

“The Old Sweetshop is beautiful.”

We had the perfect stay ! The accommodation is very comfortable and stylish. Lots of helpful commodities in the house, as well as a generous welcome pack. A short walk to the quay and many little eateries on your doorstep. We enjoyed The Erskine Arms, which was a very short stroll away. The owners of ‘The Old Sweetshop’ have definitely made a beautiful home for visitors to enjoy

Nicholas July 2024

“Property was excellent, well presented and spotless.”

With it's central location, it was perfect for accessing everything without needing to get in the car. Car park was literally through a passageway facing the property, took less than a minute from car to property. The dogs loved the coastal walk along the harbour to Conwy marina where there's the Mulberry pub with great views. We will definitely return in the future.

“Very nice well equipped and comfortable cottage in a very good location.”

We were unsure about which recycling bins to use outside. A small chair ot stool in the bathroom would be useful.

We will look into the signs on the bins to see if we can make them more noticeable, we had brought a stool on the day you left theres one there now, thank you for the feedback we always look for ways to improve for our guest,were glad you enjoyed your stay.

Andrea May 2024

“We had a lovely weekend in The old sweet shop.”

The house had everything that we needed. It was spotlessly clean, which is the first thing I look for in a property. The sofa on the photos has been changed, the new one is a lot more comfortable, so that was a bonus. Where the house is positioned in Conwy, you have everything on your doorstep. The Albion pub a couple of doors down, has a lovely atmosphere in there. Hesketh Arms does a fabulous Sunday roast. Weather permitting, you definitely need to have fish & chips and sit on the water front, it’s just beautiful. We’ll definitely stay in The old sweet shop again.

- Andrea, May 2024

Scott April 2024

“We had a great week in The Old Sweet Shop, despite the April weather.”

We’re a family of four with a well behaved dog and loved the fact the cottage was right in the centre of Conwy. The cottage itself was clean, modern and well kept and had everything we needed. We parked at Mount Pleasant car park, just a short walk through the walls and topped up the meter every day. The town itself is full of good eateries and pubs - The Albion is just a few doors away and was a favourite of ours and we loved Dylan’s restaurant for their seafood. There are also some great local walks including Mount Conwy and Morfa Beach which can be accessed by the estuary walkway and through the marina - great at low tide for a dog walk. Further afield we drove about 30 mins to Zip World, Menai Bridge for a RIB ride and to Llechwedd slate mine and recommend them all for a day out. This was our second visit to Conwy and we’d be happy to come back to The Old Sweet Shop next time!

- Scott, April 2024

Thank you for your wonderful review, we are happy you enjoyed your stay, and that you had a lovely time. Property Owner

Sarah October 2023

“The Old Sweet Shop was brilliant, the location is great and the property is modern and luxurious.”

Only down side was the sofa but the owners are looking at replacing this. You can hear the trains go past but that didn’t bother us. We parked at Mount Pleasant Car Park and walked through the castle walls to the house. We ordered pizzas from Johnny Doughs and enjoyed cooking during our stay. We visited lots of attractions including Bodnant Gardens, Penrhyn Castle, Llandudno Pier, Zip World Betws-y-Coed and Llechwedd, Caernarfon Castle, stopped off for food at The Antelope Inn with views of the Menai Bridge and finally a walk along the Conwy castle walls, which can be accessed when you turn left out of the house and head up the road… it took us along the river and through the town which is beautiful. We drove to Angel Bay (Penrhyn bay) before we went home because we knew there would be seal pups there. It was incredible. Everyone was quiet and enjoyed the views of the bay. I would stay here again, it was great.

- Sarah, October 2023

Thank you for your review, we have now replaced the seating, we hope you will stay again in the future. Property Owner

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 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.

Property accepts a minimum of a 3 night booking
