Guests say
Awelon Cottage in Colwyn Bay offers a comfortable and well-equipped stay with stunning views and a secure garden, ideal for dogs. The property is praised for its spaciousness, cleanliness, and homely feel. While some guests encountered maintenance issues, the location and the amenities provided contribute to a generally enjoyable experience.
Most guests found Awelon clean and welcoming, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, a few reviews mentioned specific cleanliness issues, such as dirty shower drains and a grubby kitchen floor, which slightly lowers the score.
The property is well-situated for exploring North Wales, with easy access to local towns, beaches, and amenities. The quiet location with country views is frequently appreciated, although the driveway access presented challenges for some.
Guests generally found the beds comfortable, especially the upstairs double, and the property cosy. However, some guests reported issues with the twin beds being rickety and uncomfortable, and noise from the laminate flooring, which affects the comfort score.
The property is equipped with necessary facilities, including a well-appointed kitchen and secure garden. Nonetheless, several reviews cited maintenance issues such as plumbing problems, difficulties with the TV, and challenges with the driveway, indicating room for improvement.
While the reviews reflect that the property offers various amenities for a pleasant stay, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

We had a bit of a nightmare week, with the upstairs bathroom roof leaking in, and blocked drains outside. We were running out of towels to contain the leak in the bathroom, which has damaged the inside wallâ¦granted a new roof was put on while we were there so we had half a day of banging. The bathroom ceiling was already marked by water so this problem had existed for a while. The downstairs loo wouldnât flush away, my husband was trying to unblock the drain outside with the mop. The cover was off the drain so we know that again it was an existing problem. My husband lifted the manhole cover up the drive and itâs full and blocked!!â¦the property needs a deep clean, the walls are scuffed everywhere and needs redecorating, itâs patched in places with mismatched paint. The kitchen cupboards are grubby on the outside and one of the kickboards is kicked inward. Some of the Plates are chipped. The seals on the shower screens are green and moldy and the shower seat in the downstairs loo is disgusting underneath. My husband had to clean the outside of the lounge window on the first day it was so dirty. There arenât any sharp knives, the toaster doesnât work properly, only one side of each slot works. The garden although mowed is full of weeds which are coming through the wooden stairs, the patio desperately needs jet washing and painting as is slippy and shabbyâ¦I have plenty of pics if the owner would like to see themâ¦.we wonât be coming back to Awelonâ¦.maybe if the owner spent a few days there he could see just how shabby the place is!!
