Had all of the facilities you could need for an enjoyable stayâ¦. Plus a little wine and tea/coffee hamper. Excellent location to explore Conwy and the beautiful sites of North Wales. Washing machine was not working, so I informed the owner who had an engineer out the next morning. Lovely facility and will definitely come back. Xx
