Resting inside the historic walls of Conwy in North Wales, is this fantastic, terraced cottage, 8 Watkin Street. Set over two floors and sleeping up to four guests, this is the perfect dwelling for exploring North Wales, with easy access to Llandudno’s famous Great Orme and Colwyn Bay’s renowned Welsh Mountain Zoo. Be welcomed into the homely living/dining room, where you can look forward to cosying up with your loved ones in front of the warming electric fire as your favourite film plays on the Smart TV. Gather around the dining table to enjoy evening drinks, snacks and play a board game or two. Show off your culinary skills in the well-equipped kitchen, where you can prepare tasty meals and enjoy hassle-free clean up with the handy dishwasher! Unwind with a refreshing shower as your pyjamas warm nearby on the heated towel rail. Retreat to the first floor where you will find two tastefully decorated bedrooms, a double and a bunkroom, both ideal for catching a refreshing nights embrace. Wake up and enjoy your morning coffee out on the balcony which overlooks the communal garden and out to the estuary and beyond. Head into the local town where you can visit The Smallest House in Great Britain, a tiny 16th-century cottage which stands at just 1.8 metres wide, visit the magnificent 13th-century Conwy Castle where you can soak up incredible views, walk the Conwy Walls which span the town, or treat your family to fresh fish and chips and tuck in at the Conwy Quay, definitely lunch with a view! Next stop is the coastal town of Llandudno, well-known for its expansive Victorian Pier and bustling promenade which often plays host to traditional Punch and Judy shows, as well as glorious beaches where the little ones can enjoy a donkey ride on the sands and its famous Great Orme. Hop aboard an alpine-style cable car which will take you to the top of the Great Orme, where you can expect panoramic views as well as the Great Orme Mines where you can enjoy a wander through the tunnels. Just a little further is Colwyn Bay, home to the Welsh Mountain Zoo which promises a fun-filled family day out, or the picturesque Betws-y-Coed, where you can enjoy thrills at Zip World, including the sought-after forest coaster. However, you choose to spend your time in Wales, be sure to pick 8 Watkin Street as your home-away-from-home.

    Parking is the only issue but in an historical town this is to be expected. Plenty of easy access parking nearby
