“Second stay at Arwelfa ,came in January to celebrate birthday.”

As usual the bungalow was clean and cosy,with everything that was needed,even dog bowls.Able to go on more walks especially the gorgeous beach with my daughter and our dogs now I've had my knee replacement.Will certainly book again, one thing we missed was the welcome pack,tea,coffee and sugar were there in canisters but a small bottle of milk would of been appreciated,not a complaint though just a suggestion,Angela xx

Melanie September 2024

“This is our 4th stay at "Arwelfa" ; and I'm in absolute no doubt will be returning for a 5th stay!”

!!!! Absolute love this beautiful holiday bungalow it's just like a second home. Was also fortunate to meet the lovely owner Sue. Not going to mention the absolute appalling weather !!!!!! Only downside is now we're home I have a very unhappy staffy .......she absolutely loved it too and misses the beach and sea.

- Melanie, September 2024

Hi Mel, It was really nice to meet you and your Mother when I popped over to Arwelfa during your stay and thank you very much for your wonderful feedback. :-) I am so pleased that you so enjoyed your last stay and look foward to welcoming you back when you are able. Take good care of yourself and your lovely staffy. Sue Property Owner

“This is my second time staying at Arwelfa and I chose it again because it really ...”

This is my second time staying at Arwelfa and I chose it again because it really is home from home Access can be restricted due to cars parking opposite but in my large car , Ford Mondeo , I took 1 shunt and got very easily onto the spacious driveway so please don’t let this put you off Once inside , the bungalow is very spacious and all the rooms are large My favourite is to sit in the living room in the single chairs ( although there are 2 sofas ) and look out to sea especially towards Penmon Point and Puffin Island Penmaenmawr has all that you need and some takeaways do deliver if you don’t fancy cooking 1 evening, we can highly recommend Junction Tandoori from Llandudno or Harvest Moon Chinese from Llanfairfechan We also had a home delivery from Tesco so all your comforts can be sorted The kitchen is fully equipped so when I did cook I had everything I needed to hand At some point we will be back next year without a doubt

- David, September 2024

Hi David, Thank you so much for your feedback, which we really do appreciate. The plan is to make the opportunity for even better views, with the build of a balcony outside of the Living Room French Doors. Hopefully this will be done by the end of this year. We would be very pleased to welcome you back when you are able. Kind regards Sue Property Owner
Kim September 2024

“Beautiful bungalow that has everything u need, we loved it, the only downside was that the week went to fast.”

Didn't have any issues with the property at all and would recommend it to anyone

- Kim, September 2024

Hi Kim, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're delighted you so enjoyed your stay at Arwelfa in Penmaenmawr, and took full advantage of all that is offered within close proximity. :-) Kind regards Sue Property Owner
Marion August 2024

“We left on Thursday as the bungalow made me ill it smelt really bad of damp and fustiness.”

The shower had a small amount of mould. We thought at first that someone had tried to clean the sitting room carpet as it was quite stained and that was causing the smell but it never went. The parking was awful as it was a busy road so that the way cars parked stopped us getting on the drive. On a positive if the owner gets to the bottom of the dreadful smell it could be a lovely little bungalow. I could not recommend Penmennmawr to stay as there really is nothing to do there

- Marion, August 2024

Hi Marion, Thank you for your feedback, which is always appreciated. We are sorry to learn that you had a less an wonderful experience, though would like to note that you didn't reach out to us to let us know. Had you done so we would have had an opportunity to sort things out. On our weekly changeover visit we did notice what looked like the remnants of a party having taken place, and can only assume that this must have been the cause of the smell in the lounge. However, I'm pleased to be able to say that by the Saturday no such smell remained. We will, of course, ask the Cleaner to check out the carpet for any previously unseen stains. Finally, we can only apologise for the cars parked on the other side of the road. This unfortunately this is out of our control being a Public Highway. Kind regards Sue Property Owner
Dominika August 2024

Wonderful place, great views on one side, sea view on the other, mountains view, very well-kept house, clean, if you have any questions, contact with the owner without any problems, it was a pity to leave, I highly recommend

- Dominika, August 2024
Michelle July 2024

Kate July 2024

“On the whole bungalow beautiful BUT , shortage of wardrobes.”

No mirrors , Mum is 5ft.3inches and could just see top of hair in bathroom. Drain in kitchen smelt . Bathroom sink took ages to empty. Very very slow. Shower flooded. Garden was really bad . Unable to sit out cos of Bindweed , Blackberry , weeds , dead poppies . Really needs attention. Lastly bins put them out , but not emptied they weren’t emptied from week before. They were attacked by birds, cats or something all over drive. It was quiet and overall good for us.

- Kate, July 2024

Hi Kate, Thank you for your feedback, which is always appreciated, and are so pleased that you enjoyed the bungalow :-). I'm happy to confirm that following investigation of both the kitchen sink and bathroom washbasin drains by our Drainage Contractor we've been advised that no problems were found. Please accept our apologies regarding both the garden and the bins. Our contracted Gardener is recuperating from an accident which put him off work for just over a month, which unfortunately meant that the garden had got somewhat overgrown - he's now back and it is much improved after this first visit. The bins I am afraid are a different matter. The Welsh Government are very firm on recycling and meeting the necessary targets. This means that Conwy County Borough Council only collect the Waste Bin every 4 weeks, and they were due the Monday after you left. I did check the day you arrived and there was sufficient room for one week's waste in the waste bin. The recycling and the food bin are collected weekly, which was on the Monday after your arrival on the Saturday and there appeared to be room on your arrival day for any recycling your stay provided until the collection. I have further checked with the Council and they have advised that normal weekly recycling collection took place on that Monday. Kind regards, Sue Property Owner
Angela June 2024

“Fantastic holiday!”

Beautiful location and very friendly people! We were very lucky with the weather and there are some beautiful walks both up the mountains as well as along the coast and beach. The village is very pretty with all the conveniences. The bungalow was very comfortable and clean and there were some amazing sunsets to be seen from there!

- Angela, June 2024

Hi Angela, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're delighted you so enjoyed your stay at Arwelfa in Penmaenmawr, and took advantage of all its natural surroundings :-) Kind regards Sue Property Owner

Brian May 2024

“It was like home from home.”

We had everything we needed , the cottage was clean and comfortable and it was a nice touch with the wine and Welsh cakes. The walk up from the village wasn't for the feint hearted, but we had a great week

- Brian, May 2024

Hi Brian, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're really happy you found Arwelfa to your liking :-) Kind regards Sue Property Owner
Colin May 2024

“Excellent accommodation.”

Very clean and well equipped. The only downside is that we are used to a King sized bed and struggled with the double. As an elderly couple we found the hill from the village a bit too much but it was not an issue as we just used the car. The bathroom very modern but would benefit from a shower caddy to put shampoo, soap and shower gel rather than on the floor. Also a couple of easy chairs in the conservatory would have been nice. Parking tight but wasn’t an issue. Dogs enjoyed outside enclosed courtyard. Overall a very enjoyable stay with everything you need

- Colin, May 2024

Hi Colin, Thank you so much for your feedback. We're really happy you found Arwelfa to your liking :-) Kind regards Sue Property Owner

Kevan April 2024

“Lovely, spacious, well-equipped bungalow, in a beautiful area.”

Our only problems were: 1 getting on to the drive…..the road is very narrow, on a steep hill and cars are always parked on the opposite side of the road 2 the shower was not very hot, even though it was on the highest setting

- Kevan, April 2024

Hi Kevin, Thanks very much for taking the time to feedback - all input is welcome as we try offer our Guests the best possible experience . We will get the shower temperature checked out. unfortunately, with regards to the hill and cars parking opposite opposite - I'm sure you will understand when I say that this is completely outside of our control and so there is nothing that can be done by us. Kind regards, Sue Property Owner
Kathleen April 2024

“Had a lovely stay the bungalow was lovely couldn’t fault it only two problems the settee and chairs have lost their firmness and are uncomfortable and in the garden our little dog got out as the metal fence at the bottom of the steps was big enough for him to get through so when they went out we had put him on a lead , also don’t use the conservatory door when it’s windy go out via the garage .”

Penmaenmawr is a lovely place quiet lovely beach promenade .

- Kathleen, April 2024

Hi, We're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay, and we'd like to thank you very much for your feedback. Take care, Sue Property Owner
Phil March 2024

“This was our second stay at Arwelfa and, as we have already booked for later this year, it will not be our last.”

At the risk of making it harder for us to get the times we want I would highly recommend this delightful property.

- Phil, March 2024

Hi Phil, Thanks so much for your feedback and taking the trouble to phone me towards the end of your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back to Arwelfa in November . Take care, Sue Property Owner
Julia March 2024

“Situated on a very steep hill, Awkward to access on and off drive as cars parked on road opposite .”

Great views though !! Bungalow was very clean and comfortable. TV had fault which I contacted owner about and fridge had issue with milk storage shelf as already damaged when I arrived. Owner happy to sort asap at end of week as agreed. Could do with another floor mat by the patio doors in conservatory for muddy paws coming back in from outside. Very happy with the stay.

- Julia, March 2024

Hi, Happy you had a good time. TV has now been renewed and will certainly look in to your suggestion of a mat at Conservatory doors. Property Owner
Anne March 2024

“We had a lovely stay, everything you need to make the stay comfortable.”

In easy reach of other areas around north wales. Lovely walk to the promenade, bit of a climb back, but the walk through the park with the streams and small waterfalls was worth it. The views of Anglesey and puffin island was a delight. Thank you for the welcome pack. Would love to return.

- Anne, March 2024

Hi Ann, Thank you for the lovely feedback, and so glad you enjoyed your stay there in North Wales and everything at Arwelfa was as you would wish. Hope to welcome you back sometime in the future. Take care Sue Property Owner
Angela January 2024

“Beautiful bungalow,clean and so cosy.”

Beds very comfy,very good supply of kitchen utensils,did cook several meals.lovely and peaceful location and only a few minutes walk to shops and down to Penmaemawr beach.Dogs loved the beach at low tide although very windy,nice secure garden for them.I do have mobility problems on waiting list for knee replacement,but did manage to go down to beach and back up every day,albeit slowly,as quite a steep incline.Would recommend and hopefully when knee done will book again as some fantastic walks nearby,also thanks to Sue the owner for her kind help prior to holiday

- Angela, January 2024

Hi Angela, So glad to hear that you had a good time enjoying your special break and that all went smoothly with your travel arrangements and arrival. We really appreciate the feedback. Take care, Sue Property Owner
Carolyn January 2024

“Champagne flutes and more coat hangers are required.”

Also there is no grey kitchen caddy or bags for recycling waste food in the kitchen. Otherwise very nice.

- Carolyn, January 2024

Hi Carolyn, Thanks for your feedback and pleased that you were happy with Arwelfa. Will certainly see about adding Champagne Flutes and additional coat hangers. Also sorry to hear about the lack of kitchen caddy bags as the Cleaners are requested to leave the bin lined and one spare per week so will speak to the Cleaners about this. Kind regards Sue Property Owner
Sarah October 2023

“This property was great, no issues getting on and off the drive as we have a small car.”

Wonderful bungalow with great views and a real home from home feel. Not far from Llandudno and a good chip shop just down the hill.

Hi Sarah, Thank you for your lovely feedback. We appreciate all comments and are delighted that Arwelfa was to your liking. Kind regards Sue Property Owner

- Sally, September 2023

Hi Sally, Thank you for taking the time to feedback, all input is appreciated. We are delighted that you enjoyed your time in our lovely bungalow and can only apologise for the garden being a little in need of care, but our Gardener missed his monthly visit does to poor weather and then COVID.

Reg July 2023

“Lovely property.”

We had a wonderful time. The only problem was other people parking across from the entrance to the drive making it difficult to get in and out of the drive.

- Reg, July 2023

Hi, We're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Arwelfa and thank you for taking the time to feedback, always appreciated. We can only apologise for the cars parked on the other side of the road, but unfortunately this is out of our control. I have made enquiries regarding the possibility of double yellow lines, but have been advised that there is not good enough reason to apply to stop residents parking there! Kind regards Sue Property Owner
Heidi July 2023

“The bungalow was perfect.”

It felt spacious, was really clean, well equipped, and had really comfy beds! The area was nice and quiet and we loved the fact the sheep roamed the road and ate the grass from the front garden. Lovely sitting in the living room looking out at the views The welcome drink and Welsh cakes were thoughtful. The bungalows back garden was secure for our little dog,and owners had even thought to leave bowls! As mentioned in previous reviews, cars parking on the road makes it harder to park on drive, but not impossible.

- Heidi, July 2023

Hi, We're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Arwelfa and thank you for taking the time to feedback, always appreciated. We can only apologise for the cars parked on the other side of the road, but unfortunately this is out of our control. Kind regards Sue Property Owner
Mark June 2023

“Lovely bunga low spacious clean comfortable recycling bin not emptied for some time so quite a bit of refuse”

- Mark, June 2023

Hi, Delighted you enjoyed Arwelfa and all it has to offer. I can only apologise for the recycling bin not having been emptied, but unfortunately we are at the whim of the Local Authority regarding the bin collections - the orange bin in only collected 4 weekly, and the recycling weekly. Many thanks Sue Property Owner
Ruth May 2023

“We enjoyed our week at Arwelfa, a lovely light sunny bungalow.”

While there is parking on the the drive, access in and out was difficult because of locals parking directly opposite. Unfortunately, because of underground water leak the shower was quite ineffective, the side garden being flooded. A couple of cushions would have been useful in the lounge, also a dish drainer and scissors. The conservatory was excellent for meals as were the garden chairs on the patio. The enclosed garden was secure for our dog. A lovely sunny week.

- Ruth, May 2023

Hi, Really pleased you enjoyed your stay. Really sorry about the water leak, which I'm glad to report is now fully sorted by Welsh Water. Thank you for raising the lack of scissors - the bungalow did have a pair so sounds like I need to replace. Many thanks Sue Property Owner

Amanda May 2023

“Fantastic views , lovely clean comfortable cottage .”

Very spacious ... we loved the conservatory..... The only issue was parking, you get boxed in the drive as neighbouring people park on the road , it's near Impossible to get out however we parked a 1 minute walk up the road . It did not impact on our stay we had a fantastic time . Its beyond the owners control . We are booking again for next year .

- Amanda, May 2023

Thank you for your feedback. So pleased you had a good stay. We look forward to welcoming you back next year :-) Kind regards Sue Property Owner

“What another fantastic stay at beautiful "Arwelfa"; this was our 3rd stay and are booked to stay again in September.”

Thank you so much again to Sue for the welcome goodies; very much appreciated; not to mention the other little extra touches which again are so thoughtful. The bungalow has a fantastic view and is situated in a fantastic location. There is so much to see and do, all within easy reach.Or simply relax and enjoy the seafront promenade of Penmaenmawr.

Linda March 2023

“We loved staying at Arwlefra, lovely place and we found the locals really friendly.”

A great location for exploring North Wales. Pity about the problem others have given feedback on about the cars parked on the other side of the road making it difficult to park in the drive, but all around great place to stay.

- Linda, March 2023

Hi, We're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Arwelfa and thank you for taking the time to feedback, always appreciated. We can only apologise for the cars parked on the other side of the road, but unfortunately this is out of our control. Kind regards Sue Property Owner

Robert November 2022

“The property suited our needs, was warm, comfortable and well equipped for a holiday home.”

Location is good with all facilities within easy reach. The A55 North Wales Express way, 2 mins drive away, allows access to all the resorts along the coast. Would use again. Having encountered a slight problem with the heating, a call to the owner had it resolved within hours. Couldn't ask for more. I would echo a comment made by another user in that due to local residents parking opposite the property getting onto the drive is difficult but not impossible. If you're confident at reversing then you will be OK. Would use again.

- Robert, November 2022
Gill October 2022

“We had a wonderful time at arwelfa everything there that is needed.”

“We had a fantastic week.”

The property was exactly as described and is luxurious. It has everything you need and is easy to find. Penmaenmawr is really nice and about 15 mins between Conwy and Llandudno so a great location. Overall would definitely stay at Arwelfa again.

Julie June 2022

“Wonderful place to stay.”

However sadly access to the drive was hindered by a car permanently park on the opposite side of a narrow road. The lounge would benefit from having some lamps to soften the harsh ceiling lighting. Kitchen superbly fitted well stocked. Thank you would recommend this accommodation.

- Julie, June 2022

Hi there, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, and your constructive suggestion - we'll definitely look into some softer lighting that we could perhaps install. We're delighted that you found Arwelfa to your liking and enjoyed your stay. It's a only a shame that we can't do anything about cars parking on the highway opposite Hope we see you again in the future Kind regards Sue Property Owner
E June 2022

“Lovely stay More than expected hospitality gifts.”

Tea coffee sugar washpowder even washing up liquid. Spotlessly clean. Bungalow on steep hill so not easy if you have mobility issues. Also a tight entrance with cars parked opposite .My husband had to shunt to get in. Apart from this a lovely stay and a super place.

- E, June 2022

Hi there, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're delighted that you found Arwelfa to your liking and enjoyed your stay. It's a only a shame that we can't do anything about cars parking on the highway opposite. Hope we see you again in the future. Kind regards Sue Property Owner

Yufan April 2022

“We would like to thank Sue for such a wonderful holiday cottage.”

Really impressed with the clean and modern cottage. I felt the owner really cares about the clients with such great attention to details. On arrival we even got complimentary wine, juice and Welsh cake, which is such a pleasant surprise. There are even washing liquid and kitchen foils, tea and coffee etc so really made it easy and convenient for us to feel like home. The appliances are quite new as well, like cooker, microwave and central heating are all very easy to use. Overall would highly recommend.

Pauline March 2022

“What a wonderful week we had at Arwelfa.”

It is a wonderful place to stay and in a really good location. The bungalow is very comfy with excellent facilities. It was great having that sea view and the sunsets were spectacular. The bungalow had everything we needed. The owners had thought about things really carefully to make it a home from home. We loved it because it was close to the beach so we could easily walk out dog. We could also quickly get up on the hills. Penmaenmawr is a perfect location to take in some spectacular places - all within easy distance. We loved staying at Arwelfa and will certainly book again.

- Pauline, March 2022

Hi Pauline, Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. We're delighted that you agree with us and loved Arwelfa so, and look forward to welcoming you again someday. Kind regards, Sue Property Owner
Kelly February 2022

“We loved the property and it was the perfect base for our stay.”

Very comfortable and clean and equipped to a high standard. Due to the storm we ended up spending extra time indoors so it was great to be in Arwelfa where we were comfortable. We're planning to come and stay again as there are so many places in Wales that we'd still like to visit. The only thing that would be handy to add to the property is a couple of clocks and a mirror in the twin bedroom. Thank you for a lovely stay.

- Kelly, February 2022

Hi Kelly, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased that your stay was so successful just a shame that the weather was not with you. Clocks are not something we have thought about, though we certainly will now, and will see about a mirror for the twin bedroom Kind regards, Sue Property Owner

Ray November 2021

“Arrived at ARWELFA on a cold afternoon to a lovely warm greeting as the central heating was on full bore.”

A welcome pack including wine, Welsh cakes, tea, coffee, etc. etc. added to the welcome. The bungalow is very spacious with EVERYTHING that we could wish for. It is decorated to a high standard and was very clean. The guide for the property contained all that we needed. The location is great and allowed easy access to Anglesey, Bangor, Conwy, etc.etc. We spoke to the owner on a couple of occasions and Sue was extremely helpful and friendly.

Colin William October 2021

“The property was excellent.”

The whole place has been very recently upgraded to a high standard. The village and beach was much better than expected with nice cafe on the edge of the beach. There are footpaths nearly all the way down. Head for Constitution lane, there is also a nice secluded park on the way. At the bottom look for Archway/tunnel under the Road and Railway onto the promenade. The bungalow driveway is a bit tight to get into for bigger cars, We only did it for unloading and parked outside on the road for the rest of the time no problem. Everything was there we needed. Thanks to the owners, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

- Colin William, October 2021

Hi Colin, Thank you for your feedback. We're so pleased that you found Arwelfa and it's surroundings to your liking. There certainly is a lot to see and do within close proximity. Kind regards, Sue Property Owner
Samantha August 2021

“The house was exceptionally clean with outstanding facilities to use, eg: kitchen equipment.”

Lovely village, the only downside was the climb from the beach back to the house, but this was put in the information. Lovely welcome pack from the owners too. Thank you.

- Samantha, August 2021

Hi Samantha, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased that your stay was so successful Kind regards, Sue Property Owner

“Arwelfa is a lovely bungalow very clean and well maintained, a good safe area at the back for our dogs & just a short walk to the local shops & cafe's.”

I would definitely recommend Arwelfa - the only thing that was missing for me was a Hair Dryer & Iron - Thanks for a fabulous stay & for the essentials such as milk, coffee, tea & Sugar that we weren't expecting.

- Alison, June 2021

Hi Alison, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are pleased that your stay was so successful and because of your very helpful feedback, we have since provided Arwelfa with both a Hairdryer and an Ironing Board/Iron Kind regards, Sue Property Owner

“A lovely, modern, sparklingly clean good-sized bungalow with mountain and sea views.”

Yes, there are steps into the property and out from the conservatory but my trusty stick helped me to negotiate these and the effort was more than worthwhile. In fact, the two of us ate all our meals outside in the wooden arbour, keeping an eye on our dog and looking at the mountains we used to climb. The local people went out of their way to be helpful when we were looking for places without a satnav. Superb!

Yes only one thing I would suggest is blackout curtains in the bedroom - As the cottage is very well lighted by sun and in summers it would be wonderful to have long hours sleep without sunshine waking you up

- Mandeep, May 2021

Thank you for your comments. All bedrooms have now been fitted with blackout curtains. Property Owner

“The bungalow was brilliant , just one thing they could put another mirror in the other bedrooms.”

It would also be good idea to mention that the bungalow is on a very steep hill.

Hi Roger, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We are so pleased that your stay was so successful. We will for future ensure that the hill is noted in the particulars. Kind regards, Sue Property Owner

About the location

PENMAENMAWR

Conwy 5 miles.

Nestled on the North Wales coast between Llanfairfechan and Conwy, Penmaenmawr is an old quarrying town now adapted into a delightful community stretching along this stunning coastline, yet retaining much of its Victorian architecture, with many local pubs, restaurants and shops, a superb golf course and golden, sandy beaches. Set on the side of the Tal-Y-Fan mountain, many parts of Penmaenmawr and its sister village Dwygyfylchi enjoy stunning views across Conwy Bay to Llandudno, Puffin Island, Anglesey and the Irish Sea, and if you are lucky, dolphins and seals can sometimes been see playing in the bay. A recently opened cycle path leads along the coastal path to Conwy Marina to the East, and Llanfairfechan to the west. Or, head up the Conwy valley through the Sychnant Pass on to the mountain trails that abound there. The sailing club in Penmaenmawr is well established and welcomes day guests, as does the 9 hole golf course, set amongst stunning coastal scenery on the lower slopes of the village. On the promenade you will find numerous activities such as a skate park, a children's paddling pool as well as a beach cafe which is open most of the year. There are also beach huts on the promemade that you can hire by the day. Also near to the beach is a bowling green and all weather tennis courts.
