About this property

Resting in the heart of the historic town of Conwy on the North Wales Coast is The Old School. This luxurious, Grade II listed home benefits from a stylish and contemporary interior that has been seamlessly blended with charming features such as the original old school hooks, high ceilings, original windows, and a unique sliding partition, it is also close to the beach and Conwy’s amenities: perfect for families or groups of six. Cross the threshold where a spacious, beautifully decorated open-plan living space greets you, unwind in front of the warmth of the gas stove and watch on as the designated chef gets acquainted with the fully-equipped kitchen which even boasts a wine cooler! Dine together before snuggling up on the plush leather sofas for a film night upon the wall-mounted Smart TV. When yawning begins, wash off the day in the sleek, ground-floor bathroom fitted with a bath and walk-in shower before catching your rest in either of the ground-floor double bedrooms which have handy en-suites or climb the stairs to rest in the mezzanine king-size. Nestled in the centre of Conwy, The Old School lies paces away from the local store where you can stock up on any essentials and charming pubs such as The Albion and The Bank of Conwy which serve a variety of drinks and delicious pub food. On sunny days venture to the nearby Conwy Morfa Beach where you can soak up the sun on its golden shores, splash around with your loved ones in the sea and marvel at the views across the azure. History is woven throughout the town, delve into the past by touring the impressive 13th Conwy Castle or Plas Mawr, a restored 16th century town house; be sure to pay a visit to The Smallest House in Great Britain which is just 1.8 metres wide! Popular towns such as Llandudno and Betws-y-Coed are easily accessible, and both house an array of attractions and Snowdonia National Park is a scenic drive away and is bursting at the seams with a myriad of walks and trails with breath-taking views across North Wales. Explore the wonders of Conwy at The Old School.

Although Conwy has been designated as a World Heritage Site due to its historical and architectural significance, the town's centre is a hive of activity. In addition to its many specialty stores, restaurants, and hotels, the town hosts several festivals and fairs that date back centuries, as well as musical performances, art exhibits, and historical sites. Conwy Castle is one of the most impressive examples of mediaeval military architecture; it was built for King Edward I between 1283 and 1287, to plans drawn up by Master James of St. George. The narrow rocky outcrop on which the castle is perched likely determined its distinctive, elongated shape, which features two barbicans, eight massive towers, and a great bow-shaped hall. Many of the town's long-standing customs, such as the Honey fair, Seed fair, and Gwledd Conwy Feast in October and other musical events held throughout the year, serve as reminders of the town's rich history, and are celebrated annually. Conwy is a great place to stay if you want to travel to the nearby Snowdonia National Park, take a stroll along the beautiful sandy beaches, or simply take in the breathtaking scenery. Just six miles away is Surf Snowdonia, and the Llechwedd Slate Caverns are home to Europe's longest zip line.
