About this property
Bryn Gwynedd, a well-appointed, three-bedroom home rests in the heart of Conwy, North Wales, inviting up to six guests. 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. Make use of the open-plan living space, the social hub of the property, where you can rustle up some homecooked meals, dine, and relax, whilst the rear garden offers a private space to enjoy the sunshine and opt for an alfresco affair. With a separate sitting room on offer, retire to this contemporary space with a good book in hand and a glass of wine to enjoy, whilst the woodburning stove roars in the background. 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.

Immaculately clean and everything provided for a self catering stay. The lovely front garden provided a sunny place to sit and enjoy breakfast , there is also a nice enclosed rear garden though we tended to sit at the front more. The 3 double bedrooms were spacious and beds were very comfortable. Short and pleasant walk into the town centre with plenty of eateries, shops , harbour and castle. Would recommend Edwards Deli / Butcher in the town centre for fresh sandwiches, pies and other delicious food. For eating out we enjoyed The Mulberry at Conwy Marina, lovely food and nice outside seating area, dog friendly too. Good transport links to Llandudno, Anglesey and Snowdonia. The only negative would be the upstairs toilet/ shower room which was quite difficult to get in and out of due to the compact space available to open and close the door and think some people may struggle with this. In its defence there are 2 more toilets downstairs and another shower, not quite as convenient though in the night. Overall I would definitely recommend this excellent holiday home for its comfort, location and facilities and would certainly book again if returning to the area. Our thanks to the owner for a lovely holiday !

The property is well equipped with everything you will need for a relaxing break. We had a fantastic, peaceful holiday here and loved sitting out on the front patio taking in the views. It's an ideal base for exploring North Wales. Highly recommended.

There was 5 of us in total along with a one year old and dog and the house made it so easy to wind down, relax and enjoy the time together. The whole place was very clean and tidy, all the appliances were high spec and the bedrooms were a great size with comfy beds. The bifold doors which open out from the kitchen onto the patio made it perfect to enjoy nice weather and socialise together. Having a secure garden at the back as well as the front was extremely convenient for the dog and the same can be said for a driveway that fits up to three cars on. Would 100% stay here again
