About this property
The Keep is a spectacular eight-bedroom holiday home resting in the majestic town of Llandudno in Conwy. Situated just a stone's throw from the beach, with bedrooms boasting their very own en-suites, The Keep is ideally-located in the centre of Llandudno, allowing easy access to the nearby shops, pubs, and must-see attractions, welcoming up to 18 adults, 3 under 16 year olds and 2 infant guests for an unforgettable retreat to the beautiful North Welsh coastline. Enter your impressive new home-from-home, which boasts elegant interiors set over three floors. On the ground floor, you’ll find a fully-equipped kitchen, housing all the essentials the budding chef will need to whip up a feast to feed the whole group and a dishwasher to help with the clean up! Down the corridor from the kitchen is a lovely, well-presented living/dining room, a great spot for savouring your dinners together, enjoying family game nights, or even indulging in a movie marathon on the sleek, wall-mounted Smart TV! When the sun sets, head up to the first and second floors to catch your valuable slumber in one of the eight bedrooms on offer, seven of which comprise double beds, and all of which are accompanied by their very own en-suite bath or shower rooms. If you can tear yourself from your fabulous new dwelling, set out on foot to explore the very best of what Llandudno has to offer. Shopaholics can explore the numerous boutiques and independent high street shops that can be found throughout Llandudno, whilst those looking to soak in the town's culture can delight by visiting the iconic Llandudno Pier, visit an art exhibition at Mostyn, Cymru or catch a live performance at Venue Cymru. For a day in nature, lounge on the famous North Shore Beach, or head up to the breathtaking Great Orme where you can catch unrivalled views of Llandudno and beyond. Further afield, pay a visit to the National Trust spot of Bodnant Garden, experience history at the sites of Harlech or Conwy Castle, two of North Wales' most iconic landmarks. Whatever you get up to during your next stay in Llandudno, be sure to do it from The Keep.
Llandudno lies between two headlands, the Great Orme and the Little Orme and it is these headlands, and the town's two waterfronts, that give this tourist resort its special appeal. The town offers two superb beaches - the North Shore, with its wide promenade backed by an imposing crescent of Victorian hotels and the quieter West Shore with miles of sandy shoreline backed by sand dunes and superb views towards Anglesey. For the best views, however, you can reach the summit of the 679ft Great Orme using either the Great Orme Tramway or by taking an exciting cable car ride of over a mile. The town has an excellent selection of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés, as well as Venue Cymru, which is North Wales' premier theatrical stage for opera, ballet, musicals, comedy and visiting orchestras, boasting a programme that is second to none - all this is just a stone's throw from the promenade. Just 4 miles away is the town of Conwy - a designated World Heritage Site. A true medieval gem, Conwy is dominated by a splendid castle and completely enclosed by its well-preserved town walls. Discover miles of sandy beaches along the North Wales coast and excellent walking and climbing in the Snowdonia National Park just 20 minutes' drive away - there's plenty to see and do!

However our stay turned sour when a poorly hung large print fell from a height and hit me on the head, the result of this was a 12 hour stint in A&E a CT scan and concussion, the most disappointing part of this and the reason for the review the property owners, did not ask once if I was ok, did not apologise just thanked me for my feedback and said it had been fixed. We had a range of ages from 77 to 12 it could have been a lot more serious if it had hit one of my aunties or my niece. I am disgusted and shocked by the lack of response from the owners, we have used Sykes on a number of occasions and have never had any problem's with other properties we have stayed in. This review would have been very different if some concern had been shown.

Spacious and comfy with everything you need. Couple of little niggles with the boiler losing pressure and needing refilling a few times (a heads up was given on this in the briefing from the owners prior to arrival) and the shower in the main bathroom awkward to turn off properly, but they were minor and just need noting and seeing what can be done to sort them by the owner. Overall a fantastic experience for 14 of us with everything you need for your holiday -free parking is also a big bonus in Llandudno! A lot of thought has gone into the property and you wonât be disappointed. Thanks again, weâve enjoyed a lot.
