“Comfortable and homely.”

Great location very close to the castle, harbour and restaurants.

“Toilet seat needs sorting, mould in the bathroom and paint coming off in living room, luckily we have small car so we could park, due to ongoing building work next door and opposite, any bigger car would have been difficult, however the builders were very pleasant and accomdating.”

The location was spot on. Cottage just needs a bit of TLC.

“We had a nice stay at Conwy.”

The property is in an ideal location to access the lovely town. Property was clean, tidy and well stocked with basic bits tea, coffee, soap, cleaning supplies, etc which was very handy. Beds were comfortable. The dog hamper was a good addition, especially the blankets. The downside was unfortunately the property needs some maintenance; the walls badly need repainting throughout, it makes the cottage look unnecessarily scruffy. Updating the decor as well will make this cottage so much nicer. The bathroom also needs looking at, drain likely blocked, water gathers at your feet so can't be in there more than 5 mins or water will overflow through to the bathroom floor. Also, looks like mould behind the toilet so that needs seeing to. Second bedroom is an afterthought. No storage, luckily the main bedroom has very large wardrobe. Works next door did partially affect stay. I have a small car so was able to park just in front of the door but it is squeeze to avoid skip, work van and neighbour's car. There is noise throughout the day from 8am. Had to park at adjacent car park one afternoon as builders merchant van blocked access to property. It's ideal to have a car park at the end of the road but not ideal to have an extra expense. I understand the works can't be helped but expected more from the property for the cost. If improvements were made, this would be 5 stars easily.

- Justine, September 2024

We're delighted you enjoyed our cottage, especially the great location with fabulous access to Conwy town, cleanliness and tidiness of the cottage is really important. We work extremely hard in maintaining a high standard. The 250 year old cottage decoration is modern with a seaside twist, and is always given a fresh coat each holiday season. The builder next door is very considerate, and always keeps any disruption to a minimum, as you will appreciate and understand is totally out of our control. We hope you enjoyed the complimentary bottles of local Gin and local Whisky, along with the biscuits/Welsh cakes in the 'Welcome Tray' ,,, Kind Regards Property Owner
Liz September 2024

“Lovely little cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay.”

The decor was exactly to our taste! Great location to explore Conwy as it was our first visit! Would definitely recommend to family & friends! Builders next door was no problem during our stay as we arrived Friday afternoon & left Monday morning so no building work taking place while we were there! Very comfortable bed so enjoyed great nights sleep! No iron or board in cottage ( unless we just couldn’t find it!) & toilet seat needs fixing but those were very minor issue & certainly didn’t detract from the overall enjoyment of our stay!

- Liz, September 2024

So glad you had a lovely time in our cottage Liz, and delighted you enjoyed Conwy. Toilet has been sorted. The builders next door have been fantastic, very respectful, we're hoping they will finish over the next few weeks. Lots of guests enjoy the comfy bed, really pleased you found it nice n snug.

“The cottage was amazing had everything and more for a perfect stay, location ...”

The cottage was amazing had everything and more for a perfect stay, location next to the castle was perfect with a 2 minute walk into the town, it was the perfect location for visiting other places around Conwy, there was building work on property next door but it didn't interfere with our stay, will definitely be returning with the hope of staying in the same property, thank you David and Diane

- Lorraine, July 2024

Thank you for your lovely comments Lorraine, we're so pleased to hear you enjoyed Conwy and our cottage; we hope and look forward to you visiting the cottage again in the future. Property Owner
Philip June 2024

“Property inside was clean and tidy, bed and sofa comfortable.”

However, it was like staying next to a building site. This raised a major problem which fortunately our host was able to highlight to the neighbours. Thankfully the noise was not intrusive. The garden was scruffy and the temporary fence an eyesore.

- Philip, June 2024
Peter May 2024

“My only negative with regards to the property was the noise from the road.”

This didn’t spoil my stay in the least ( as I’m a sound sleeper) but it may impact guests who aren’t so lucky.

- Peter, May 2024
Ashley May 2024

“Beautiful property in a great location.”

The cottage had plenty of space and was well furnished with everything you could need for your stay. The couch and bed were both clean and very comfortable. Our little dog had a great time. We would like to apologise to the neighbours as he is a senior and isn't used to sleeping downstairs, he woke us up in the middle of the night barking as he needed to go to the bathroom. We hope he didn't disturb anyone but if he did we're very sorry! Would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others.

- Ashley, May 2024

Thank you for your lovely comments Ashley, we're delighted you enjoyed the cottage, and had a fabulous holiday in Conwy, Property Owner
Gillian April 2024

“A truly lovely cottage with a lot of extra little touches I.”

E Welsh-cake and biscuits. Unfortunately the property next door is having major renovation work. Builders working from 8.30 in the morning until 5.30 in the evening. Extremely disturbing drilling and hammering. Also parking not easy due to 2 skips, vans and lorries. Think future guests should be aware of this before booking.

- Gillian, April 2024

Thank you for your feedback, We apologise for the building work next door, which as you understand is totally out of our control; we did advise all of our guests that were affected (yourself included) and gave them option to discuss this further with us if they felt this would affect their stay. As you chose to continue with the booking, we thought this would not have been an issue. We hope you enjoyed your stay overall, and can confirm that the works will be completed very soon, King Regards Property Owner
Anthony March 2024

“A lovely little cottage just outside the walls of the town.”

We took loads of stuff with us that we brought back without using because the place was so well appointed. Nicely decorated and clean and tidy. Handily placed for exploring the town and farther afield. Easy drive onto A 55, from where lots of interesting places can be visited. Good communication with owner to help us over minor problem.

- Anthony, March 2024
Karen December 2023

“Cottage has everything you require in a great position by the castle and town.”

We used two takeaways that are 5 minutes away. . The extra touch of milk and biscuits left were very much appreciated. From this location we travelled to various places in Wales. Highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing stay.

- Karen, December 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback, so glad you enjoyed our cottage and Conwy :) Property Owner
Peter November 2023

“Nice cosy cottage, has everything you need.”

It was great having the log fire and being within 5 minutes walk of the centre of Conwy. We would book again but see that prices have increased substantially for 2024.

- Peter, November 2023
Ray September 2023

“Side fence has been taken down making it less private,garden could do with some plants ,a blind should have been on the bathroom window.”

Good location for restaurants.

- Ray, September 2023
Raymond May 2023

“The only down side was the floor boards.”

they need covering with a carpet or securing, as they make a loud noise, especially through the night. also, I attempted to contact the numbers that were given to us, regarding that the washing machine was full of laundry. After trying to talk to the person they turned their phones off. If there had been a bigger problem. we could not contact them.

- Raymond, May 2023

Thank you for your comments. I apologise for any upset during your stay. Our aim is to please and make sure all our customers have a lovely stay at the cottage. We have tried to keep the 150 year old cottage as traditional as possible. I hope you would consider returning and will call you for a chat. Property Owner
Rachael April 2023

“Great property ideally located right next to town centre.”

Having its own off road parking makes it perfect to just park up and explore the surrounding area.

- Rachael, April 2023
Michelle March 2023

“Lovely little cottage, great location.”

The only small drawback for us personally was the creaky floorboards, if 1 of us was awake in the night then all 3 of us were. Had a great stay, would definitely visit Conwy again

- Michelle, March 2023
James February 2023

“Excellent position to enjoy the local area.”

Joe November 2022

“Y Bwthyn was a home from home.”

The cottage is in a fantastic location, right next to the castle walls. Comfort is five-star, cleanliness is five-star and amenities are five-star. Conway is the jewel of North Wales, really charming. There are mountain walks on your doorstop, quite literally. This made for a wonderful holiday. David and Debbie, it was a bonus to meet you and thanks for letting, "our Rita" join us on holiday too. She loved the real log burner. We would love to stay at Y Bwthyn again. Joe, Craig and Rita, from Widnes.

Thank you for your lovely comments Julie, so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Dawn September 2022

“The sofa wasn't very comfortable - bottom cushions kept creeping out and not very substantial.”

The property listing said that it included parking for one car but we soon realised that this parking space wasn't ours and that other people sometimes park in it - leaving you with nowhere to park if all spaces taken.

- Dawn, September 2022

Thank you for your feedback; a new upgraded sofa is being delivered shortly. Parking is allocated for all residents of the 3 cottages, Property Owner
Andrew July 2022

“A fantastic cottage and a truly great week.”

The cottage was very clean but a little tatty in places with a touch of damp, which in no way detracted from the experience ( and what you might expect from a small Welsh cottage?) Everything that you might want is provided and not rationed as often it can be. Our stay was a little marred by unexpected building work in the next door property and a skip, but negotiated throughout the week without major issues to be fair. A brilliant location, but up a moderate hill, and so not for the infirm or someone who does not want to walk up a hill at the end of the day. A larger number of brilliant walks easily accessible and lots to do. A vast array of pubs and restaurants to cater for all tastes although booking is advisable.

- Andrew, July 2022

Delighted you had a fantastic vacation in our cottage. Unfortunately, we were not pre-warned of the next door building work, and therefore unable to notify any guests. The cottage is a 200 year old property, and does not suffer from any damp; we've installed a dehumidifier to address any condensation during warm spells. Property Owner
Alyson July 2022

“A lovely cottage, really well equipped with parking for one vehicle.”

We had a great stay and it is very well situated for walking down to Conwy and the marina and surrounding areas, if I had any gripe it would be that the two seater settee is not the most comfortable but I would highly recommend the cottage and look forward to going again

- Alyson, July 2022

Thank you for your lovely comments, so glad you had a great stay. New upgraded sofa is being delivered shortly. Property Owner
Jeremy July 2022

“Enjoyable stay.”

Well appointed cottage. There are some maintenance issues that need attention. The owners are aware of these issues and other guests have commented on them before. I suggest that they are fixed before someone gives a bad review.

- Jeremy, July 2022

Delighted you enjoyed your stay in our cottage. Property Owner
Stephen June 2022

“Had a fabulous time in Conwy, cottage was clean and cosy and perfectly located for all amenities, agree with other reviews, possibly a replacement dining table or another small sofa, otherwise perfect, look forward to booking again.”

So glad you enjoyed your stay in our cottage. Thank you for your feedback. Dining room table has been upgraded, along with a new sofa arriving shortly. Property Owner
Michelle June 2022

“Lovely cozy cottage.”

Well equipped & thoughtfully presented. Good shower, comfy beds, good Wi-Fi & parking no problem. Milk & Welsh cakes on arrival appreciated for the first cuppa, thank you. Our dog settled no problem as we took his bed, towels, toys and bowls to help him feel at home. He liked the enclosed back garden for sitting on nice days with us. Excellent location. Loved Conwy, plenty to see & do. Very dog friendly. We walked the walls, explored Conwy lots of walks along water front or out the back. We had lovely lunch with our dog at the Bank of Conwy. Visited Llandudno walked the pier and promenade & had chips & ice cream. Visited Anglesey Beaumaris. Betsy coed and walked to Aira Falls. The Cheese Room and Conwy Bakery very good too. Would recommend & would love to go back again.

Michelle, Thank You for your lovely comments, we're so pleased you enjoyed your vacation. Property Owner
Kenneth May 2022

“Lovely cottage just outside town walls, 2 or 3 minutes walk to all amenities.”

The only gripe is a more solid dining table and maybe a hand rail on left hand side of staircase. ( for oldies). Cottage well equipped and comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

Stayed in the cottage for 6 days only regret was we could not stay longer The Cottage is situated in a very good location only 5min walk into the town center and easy road access to surrounding area The accommodation was extremely clean and well equipped the owners have gone to great lengths to make the visitors feel welcome this was much appreciated

- David, May 2022
Alan April 2022

“Cottage is very lovely and clean.”

Everything you need is supplied with tea and welsh cakes. Parking was no problem just had to park across front of property. Cottage is very close to centre of Conwy. Would book again.

- Alan, April 2022
Patricia March 2022

“Very clean and comfortable and superb wood burner stove.”

I dropped a star simply because of the stairs. The banister only covers half of the staircase which could be remedied by another full length banister on the opposite side of the staircase...My size 12 feet didn't help either. Otherwise no complaints at all, just a very short walk down the hill into the town.

- Patricia, March 2022
Kathryn February 2022

“Beautiful little cottage, spotlessly clean, everything catered for and only a couple minutes walk to the town centre.”

Would definitely recommend this to family and friends

“We enjoyed this cosy cottage that had everything we needed, and loved the creative way it was decorated with pictures etc.”

It was a fantastic setting, so so it was an easy walk to explore the top of the old town walls, as well as castle, harbour and marina. Lovely countryside around as well for longer walks with beautiful views.

The property

Situated in the heart of the historical market town of Conwy rests this delightful, white-washed holiday home, Y Bwthyn.

Set across two levels, hosting one parking space and comfortably sleeping up to three guests, Y Bwthyn offers an idyllic base for a small family or a couple looking to explore the delights of both the coast and county of North Wales.

Marvel at the quaint black and white exterior of this lovely dwelling upon arrival before dusting off your sandy toes and making your way over the threshold and into the well-presented open-plan living space.

Cook up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen tucked away at the rear of the sociable space and gather together with your loved ones to indulge in your culinary delights at the dining table; a lovely spot to enjoy your favourite tipple over a game of cards of an evening.

Settle down in front of the television with a sumptuous spot on the sofa to enjoy a movie marathon, warming your toes with the glow of the rustic log burning stove in the cooler months.

If you're lucky enough to experience the warmer weather, step outside and enjoy a leisurely seat in the peaceful setting of the rear south facing courtyard, toasting a glass of fizz under the watchful eye of the striking Conwy Castle.

When sleep calls, climb the stairs to the first floor and prepare for bed with a rinse in the contemporary family shower room, stylishly tiled throughout, before retiring to either of the two well-presented bedrooms to rest your head; snuggle up under the covers in the double room or enjoy an intimate escape in the single room, framing views of the historic castle walls in the near distance.

A short walk from your doorstep will bring you to the imposing medieval fortress of Conwy Castle, where you can marvel at the remarkable 13th-century architecture before climbing the restored spiral staircases in its impressive towers, offering views across the rooftops towards the peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia).

Be sure to stop at the iconic landmark of The Smallest House In Great Britain for an obligatory photo before heading to indulge in a spot of pub grub with a breath-taking view across the marina at the popular harbourside eatery, Mulberry.

Those avid golfers can tee off at the local courses, including Maesdu golf course, North Wales golf course and Conwy golf course, each providing a wonderful backdrop for a round.

Pack up your beach-going essentials and head to the nearby Conwy Morfa beach, a large sandy beach, running alongside the Conwy Golf Club, which at low tide forms part of the sandy beaches and mussel banks of Conwy Bay, it’s a lovely spot for a coastal stroll, even with your four-legged friend!

Venture further afield and embark on an adventure within Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, home to a plethora of walking, cycling and hiking routes to suit a range of abilities; lace up your walking boots and hike to the summit of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the tallest mountain in Wales, or follow the routes of cycling legend, Sir David Brailsford via the Ffordd Brailsford Way.

Make memories that will last a lifetime with a stay at Y Bwthyn.

Please note - The next door property may have ongoing works until the end of November 2024.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

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.
