“A beautiful cottage, lovely and clean, a well equipped kitchen and a well maintained garden.”

A thoughtful welcome gift of bread, cake and milk upon arrival. As soon as you enter the front door you fall in love with it's charm of low ceilings and little doorways, really cosy. As you climb the stairs there is a super-kingsize bed which is very comfy and as you go through another door way there is a lovely dressing room. Not to far to drive for days out or to get to the beach. We had a lovely break and would definitely recommend Storehouse Cottage.

“We loved our week long stay on the 12/8/24 in this amazing little authentic cottage.”

So much so my wife wanted to stay longer. We will definitely be back again for another week, especially as the Queens Head Foodie pub is right outside the cottage gate .

“StoreHouse Cottage is a lovely small cottage.”

I had a very nice, peaceful and relaxing stay there. It felt warm and welcoming. The Kitchen was well equipped and surprisingly spacious. The Bathroom was far bigger than I was expecting - it was for me the best room in the cottage. The lounge and bedroom are joined by a stairway without a door between - ok for me on my own - I didnt mind it. The Lounge was the right size to sit and watch telly, but not much spare space. The gas fire was very comforting. The armchairs were ok but a little tired. The Bedroom was just big enough to not feel cramped but was slightly cold. The bed was very comfortable. No wardrobe space - thats in the dressing room. The dressing room, the door was lower than shoulder height for me - I didnt use this room - but I didnt need it. Parking was a bit tight on the road but I was never without a space. The village is tiny and quiet. A good base to explore North Wales. The pub opposite was very friendly, good beer, good food, needs booking, not cheap but worthwhile. I had a lovely stay at StoreHouse Cottage, a nice peaceful quiet break. Just what I wanted. Thank you.

“Cottage was fantastic beautiful garden.”

Everything we needed.only small problem was the chairs in lounge were not very comfortable. We’ve stayed in a few Skykes cottages and this is best so far Thank you.

“Cottage was delightful, parking was horrendous.”

The arm chairs need more cushioning to sit on. Chairs not very comfortable. We had to wash saucepans before we could use them. More cooking utensils would be desirable, large serving spoon. Glass or plastic jug. Gardener turned up unannounced, the only time we sat outside we had to go in. Possibly a clothes line so didn't have to use tumble drier. TV and internet good. We didnt mind the spiders. Bed super comfy. Would recommend to friends. Flowers were a delightful surprise and welcome cake xx

“Lovely little cottage, stayed here before, great location, lovely garden , only negative is the seating in the living room, definitely past its best, could do with replacing with something a little more up to date.”

“We have stayed in a few holiday cottages and this is the first time that it is exactly as the pictures!”

This place is beautiful and perfect for a countryside getaway. Beautifully kept, clean and everything you need. The touches of the cake and milk just made it even more special. We were lucky with the weather so made good use of the table and chairs outside. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday!

- Janice, June 2023
Sheena June 2023

“Lovely cottage with everything you would need.”

Well-tended pretty garden. Worth mentioning the low doorways which weren't a problem for us but perhaps would be for anyone over 5ft 7. Location is in the countryside with a lovely pub close by and only a short walk or cycle in to Penhryn Bay. Perfect property for visiting the North Wales coast and countryside by bike, on foot or by car

- Sheena, June 2023
Hannah February 2023

“Was a wonderful time!”

Thank you for such a lovely stay and the little extra touches provided (Victoria Sponge was to die for). The location is perfect for those who enjoy walks through the countryside and into town. My only recommendation would be to add to the listing that the TV upstairs is DVD only to allow guest option to bring some DVDs along.

“Wonderful cottage.”

Lovely stay. It was above and beyond thank you very much to the owners! Wifi worked well, hot and cold water. TV offered a range of channels. Heating was easy to use and worked. Don't think twice just book it. Kitchen with all the utensils. Seriously, you will not be disappointed!

“A very well presented property.”

Nice touch with the delicious cake. Everything we needed for a perfect break

- Ian, September 2022
Aidan September 2022

“Cottage is lovely.”

We felt the downstairs of the cottage very cold while the bedroom was warm, definitely not a place to stay during winter months. Seating provided in sitting room while keeping with cottage theme we found very uncomfortable and unable to relax in. Bedroom on the other hand was so comfortable with huge bed . Our other big issue was the stairs, they were so steep with vey little room on each step. Kitchen facilities could not be faulted but again felt cold the whole time.

Angela June 2022

“I couldn't have stayed in a more quintessentially perfect Welsh stone cottage.”

I am a travel agency owner in Canada and I will absolutely be sending my clients to stay here at Storehouse Cottage. The bedding was comfortable, the property had all we needed and oozed in charm. A great base to explore the coast and mountains of North Wales, also just a quick 40 minute drive from Chester in England. Highly recommend this cottage for up to three guests.

“Superb little cottage, beautifully refurbished and all mod cons.”

Snug and cosy-would be great for winter weekend getaways too. Excellent location to Llandudno and all surrounding area. Good gastropub right opposite the cottage. Safer parking about 200m away.

“The cottage is fabulous and everything we thought it would be.”

The location is great for North Wales exploring.The weather was also perfect, we were sorry to leave!

“Lovely cottage next to a fabulous pub.”

Two adults and a small child this suited us for a week. Great base for North Wales. Worth being aware there is a lot of stooping under low beams/arches throughout the property which did get a bit tiring after a week! And also resulted in several knocks to the head! Also worth noting the stairs to the mezzanine bedroom are pretty steep, especially for middle of the night bathroom calls.

- Sarah, August 2020

“Everything about the cottage, it's location & facilities was excellent.”

From the moment the owner took the trouble to come & meet us at the cottage bearing gifts of milk & a Victoria sponge we knew we had booked the right place for our only holiday of 2020. The icing on the cake was the The Queens Head pub situated directly opposite the cottage where the owner Andy & his staff made us extremely welcome, served us with excellent food four of the seven nights we stayed, & even fitted us in one evening although we had not booked a table. Well done to everyone involved in making our first experience of visiting Wales a thoroughly enjoyable one. Brian & Michele

“This cottage is a lovely cozy cottage.”

Me and my family just got back today (2 days early) from what was meant to be a 7 day break. As I said, the cottage is smashing and in a nice quiet location. Sadly the cottage unfortunately had more than its fair share of spiders. It also had quite a few wood louse and other creepy crawlies. The first couple of days without exaggeration we must have put 15 to 20 spiders out each day so on the 3rd day after some Google research we discovered that peppermint oil was a kind of deterrent so we smothered the place in the stuff which made the cottage very minty but it worked to an extent but by the end of day 4 the spiders, wood louse and some flies started appearing again. Later on the 4th night, we saw a couple of earwigs scurrying about so we put them out. This made our mind up to come home early on the 5th day.. I'm not usually bothered by this type of thing but it became quite ridiculous and creepy. Also, there isn't much storage for your clothing and the WiFi is fantastic if that's important to you. To summerise it is a lovely quaint cottage but I would not return unless I was convinced the spider/bugs problem was sorted.

“Fantastic equipped cottage in a fab location to explore this beautiful part of Wales.”

“Everything was terrific - the only thing we'd have liked was a bigger frying pan as we bought the ingredients for a stir fry, which was hard in a 7" pan!”

- Annie, August 2019
Lisa August 2019

“A really beautiful cottage, perfect setting - right next to a wonderful gastro-pub.”

It is within easy access of all North Wales has to offer. The cottage has a fabulous six foot bed with, down pillows and duvet, the kitchen is very well equipped. The only tiny negative comment would be that the living room had two big arm chairs, no sofa, so we couldn't sit together in our perfect little love nest! However this really wouldn't stop us booking again - every detail had been considered.

“A very good base from which to investigate the coastal region of North Wales.”

Josh July 2019

“Absolutely stunning first holiday for my partner and I, this little romantic cottage was all we could of asked for and more.”

The cake, milk and selection of hot drinks was also a lovely touch for us when we arrived. Would definitely book again!

“Storehouse Cottage is in a quiet location and has a very good public house/ restaurant very close by.”

Llandudno and Conwy are very easy to get to and the cottage was charming with many 'finishing touches' that made us feel most welcome.

- Anne, June 2019

“Fantastic, cosy, well equipped cottage in the perfect location, to explore wonderful Snowdonia”

Cheryl May 2019

“The cottage we had originally booked was cancelled the day before we were due to go.”

We were disappointed, to say the least but Sykes were on the case and emailed us some other cottages, Storehouse cottage being one of them and this is what we chose. We were very glad we did, it was delightful. The cottage was beautiful and quaint. It had a lot of homely touches which made us feel so welcome. We had a great stay.

The property

An endearing, Grade II listed cottage, set within a picturesque village of Glanwydden.

This rural retreat comes within close reach to the popular resort towns of Llandudno and Conwy, the spectacular North Wales coast and the majestic Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, promising either a relaxing escape or an adventurous getaway for a couple.

This romantic retreat boasts a wonderful blend of traditional charm and carefully selected furnishings, to ensure a welcoming stay to explore this corner of North Wales.

Be charmed by the exposed beams and exposed brick wall which are complimented by the idyllic interior design.

Stepping into the property, you will find an amply-equipped kitchen, benefitting from all the essentials you will need to prepare all of your meals.

Enjoy breakfast or dinner at the quaint dining table, or if you are visiting during the summer months, enjoy a spot of alfresco dining within the charming garden area.

After an action-packed afternoon, sink into the plush arm chairs and flick through a selection of films avaible on Netflicks to enjoy before heading to bed.

Resting within a characterful fireplace is a coal-effect fire, which fills the room with warmth during those winter months.

Venture up the staircase to find a mezzanine-style bedroom, where you will find a super-king-size bed and a separate dressing room which includes a day bed for any additional guests, and where you can store your clothes and get ready for the day in style.

If you can tear yourself away from this delightful spot, a short walk will bring you to Queen’s Head pub, where you will be delighted by the welcoming atmosphere and a delicious dining menu.

For picking up the essentials, venture to the centre of Penrhyn Bay, where you will find a selection of shops, as well as a sandy beach and a superb golf-course.

Alternatively, a short drive will bring you to Llandudno, offering an opportunity to walk the Great Orme, enjoy a show at Venue Cymru theatre, or stroll along the picture postcard promenade.

For those feeling active, find miles of wonderful walks within the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park or visit the Welsh Mountain Zoo.

Storehouse Cottage is a refreshing base for exploring this corner of North Wales.

About the location

GLANWYDDEN

Llandudno 3 miles; Conwy 4 miles.

Glanwydden is an idyllic country village, which lies between the beautiful coastline and scenic countryside of North Wales. This tranquil village could be described as the ultimate retreat, perfect for exploring the dramatic scenery, walking the unspoilt sandy beaches or visiting the historic castles, churches and gardens of the area. The village was visited in 1824 by Charles Darwin and he called it the Butterfly Valley for its abundant insects and wildflowers. Across a field with a footpath from the heart of the village is Bryn Pydew Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) with at least 22 species of butterflies and fireflies recorded flitting amongst the limestone loving wildflowers. There are many gentle and more demanding walks along the valley through the Ancient Woodland that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. Just 3 miles away is the famous Victorian seaside resort of Llandudno, which offers two superb beaches, excellent shops, pubs and restaurants, the Venue Cymru theatre, a popular dry-ski slope and wonderful views from the summit of the 679' high Great Orme, reached by either the Great Orme Tramway or an exciting cable car ride of over a mile. The town of Conwy - a designated World Heritage Site - is also nearby. A true medieval gem, Conwy is dominated by a splendid castle and completely enclosed by its well-preserved town walls and is known for its unique independent shops. Discover miles of sandy beaches along the North Wales coast and excellent walking in the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park just 20 minutes' drive away. Fantastic golfing opportunities are available within 15 minutes drive at Maesdu Golf Course, North Wales Golf Course in Llandudno, a championship course at Conwy and Rhos-on-Sea. With good fishing and bird watching opportunities nearby there is plenty to see and do all year round. For the more adventurous visit Surf Snowdonia, Zip World and Bounce Below which are all fantastic facilities within easy reach.
