A lovely place to stay and a great base for exploring castles, historic houses and waterfalls. The Elizabethan town house in Conwy, Plas Mawr, was a highlight. The ever changing views over the estuary, and some lovely sunsets, were beautiful. Vicki (owner) was very helpful and we would certainly happily stay here again.

The View was very comfortable and the view of the tidal river and the wading birds was stunning. We didn't want to leave.

We had a lovely weeks holiday at the View . The house was well appointed with every thing you could need . The view from all levels , especially from the lounge balcony was stunning . The house was spotlessly clean and well maintained. Communication with Vicki , the owner was excellent. Ideally situated to reach numerous places including Llandudno and Conwy . We used the train for several trips with the station in close proximity. Ideal spot for anyone interested in bird watching . Would highly recommend.
