Nestled near the coastline and within walking distance to a hub of amenities and attractions, set within the town walls, Bryn Gwynedd offers a lovely dwelling for couples, families, and friends, looking to explore this wonderful corner of the county. Be welcomed by three off-road parking spaces, where you can unload your belongings, before making yourself at home in your new abode.

Climb the stairs to reach three well-appointed bedrooms, including three doubles and a twin, all benefiting from access to a bathroom, shower room and cloakroom. Once you're ready to tour Conwy, be spoilt for choice when dining out and stocking up on the essentials, whilst Conwy Castle and The Smallest House In Great Britain are worth discovering whilst in the area; outdoor enthusiasts will also enjoy following the Llwybr Moryd Conwy Estuary Trail, hiking through Bodlondeb Woods, and birdwatching from RSPB Conwy. Travel north to fill your itinerary with all that Llandudno has to offer, with its bustling pier, Great Orme Summit Complex, and golden sands of North Shore Beach, or head south with Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park ready to traverse. Be sure to stop off at Betws-y-Coed for the chance to trek through Gwydir Forest Park, enjoy a thrill-seeking activity at Zip World Fforest, or take in the beauty of Rhaeadr Y Graig Lwyd, before heading to one of the many independent shops or cafes in the village. All of this and more awaits at Bryn Gwynedd.
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.

Plenty of room in the oven and fridge and there were enough pans and utensils. The lounge was comfortable for 6 people as was the dining table although it was a bit wobbly. Instructions for things like the tvs would have been useful and saved us having to contact the owner. The location was good although we hadnât realised it was such a steep hill. With one infirm elderly person in our party we had to drive down into the town. Not the ownerâs fault, more our lack of research. The downstairs shower drenched the floor and could probably do with a curtain at the end. The upstairs toilet was very tight, you have to squeeze around the door to get in/out. If the door opened out it would be easier to use. These were minor annoyances though. The beds were comfy, there was plenty of space and it was very tastefully furnished. The owner responded quickly to any queries and was really easy and friendly to deal with.

Bryn Gwynedd is a fabulous house in a great location just 5 minutes walk to Conwy. Having off road parking for both cars was great too. Would definitely recommend this property.
