About this property
Llandudno 1.4 miles. A delightful, semi-detached cottage in a quiet residential area, on the edge of the popular seaside resort of Llandudno, with views over the town towards the Great Orme and the Irish Sea. With tasteful furnishings and decor throughout, and laid out over 4 floors, this cottage has been well-equipped to offer all you will need for your holiday. Providing cosy and comfortable accommodation, your cottage boasts two staircases leading down to a spacious, fully fitted, lower ground floor kitchen. An archway leads through to the dining area, which has French doors that open out onto the garden. The ground floor offers a light and airy sitting room with open fire, and a reading room with study area, a sofa bed, a piano for the musically inclined and exercise bike for the more energetic!
Doors lead out onto a balcony where you can enjoy the distant sea views and relax with a refreshing drink whilst soaking up the sun. The first floor offers three good sized bedrooms, and on the second floor there is a twin room with a fully equipped beverage point, with a fridge, microwave and sink. Outside are a climbing frame and swing and an enclosed side patio with small lawn, garden lights and furniture, offering a safe play haven for children, whilst the adults relax in the hot tub. With beaches less than 10 minutes' walk away, Venue Cymru and the centre of town within a mile and a half, this is a superb Llandudno cottage retreat at any time of the year.
Set between the Great Orme and the Little Orme, the village of Llandudno is a popular destination due to the town's two waterfronts. With both The North Shore and The West Shore, there are two beaches for visitors to choose from, the former offering a wide promenade backed by an imposing crescent of Victorian hotels and the latter offering contrast with its miles of sandy shoreline backed by dunes and superb views of nearby Anglesey. For great photo opportunities from the 600 feet high Great Orme summit, visitors can enjoy a relaxing trip up via the Tramway or cable car. There are a number of excellent shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes in the town whilst just four miles away is the World Heritage Site of Conwy. Dominated by its castle this lovely town is completely enclosed by its well-preserved walls.

It would be good for the owners to tell people of the Owl sanctury as it is the closses attraction and its free and a lovely place to visit.if you do please make a donation in the post boxes or by the QR code.Overall a lovely house but could do with the kitchen being on the ground floor and not downstairs i know this probably wont happen.also the bed i slept in had a stained matress and the whole house could do with being re decorated and for the upstairs showe to have a bracket high up so people can have a proper shower and dont have to go down stairs for a shower.but overall it was ok

It was warm, the shower was hot and everywhere was very clean. I would happily recommend this property although visitors should be aware that the WiFi signal was generally weak.
