As day draws to night, head inside and climb upstairs to choose between two bedrooms, a double with bedside lamps for a night-time read and a twin bedroom with riverside views. Awaken with a bubble-bath in the bathroom or take a shower before joining your guests in the rear garden for a cup of coffee. A short stroll will lead you to Traeth Llanfairfechan Beach, home to a promenade with a selection of cafes to fuel your day or visit Aber Falls for a tranquil setting. Jump in the car to explore the walled town of Conwy, certain to entice history buffs with its 13th century castle and the Smallest House in Great Britain; there is also an expansive golf course to test your swing.

It was just me and my dog. Great for a couple or small family. Close to all the local walks and beach, so ideal for just heading off on foot for the day. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge.The Wi-Fi seemed ok. I got a prompt response from the friendly owner, who efficiently dealt with a question I had on arrival. The shower cubicle is quite small and the shower water pressure low. It only has a shower curtain. Overall all though, I felt the cottage gave me a big hug.

It had everything we needed for our weeks stay.Comfortable and warm and I loved the vintage furniture.Shower could have been bigger as it was tight squeeze and you had to battle with the shower curtain to stop the water going on the floor.Enjoyed the breakfast at the seagrass cafe and it was dog friendly.!!.The pubs on the street did not do food which was a shame but both were friendly Virginia inn particularly
