Conwy, a World Heritage Site, is without doubt world famous for its historical and architectural heritage, yet at the heart of the town lies a hub of bustling activity. Alongside its ancient festivals and fairs, musical recitals, galleries and historical attractions, there is an array of specialist shops, restaurants and hotels. Built for King Edward I between 1283 and 1287, Master James of St George's design, Conwy Castle remains one of the most outstanding achievements of medieval military architecture. The distinctive, elongated shape, with its two barbicans, eight massive towers and a great bow-shaped hall was perhaps determined by the narrow rocky outcrop on which the castle stands. The town is proud of its historic traditions and celebrates its past by retaining many of these in its annual festivals, events and fairs, including the Honey fair, Seed fair and Gwledd Conwy Feast in October, along with other musical events throughout the year. Conwy is the perfect base for exploring the dramatic Snowdonia National Park, walking unspoilt sandy beaches, or taking in the wonderful scenery on your doorstep. Also within reach are the Llechwedd Slate Caverns to enjoy

The property owner made us feel really welcome on arrival and the cottage itself was very clean and tidy (I'd actually go as far as saying it was spotless) with everything you would need to enjoy your stay. The beds were really comfortable and despite being in the town centre it was very quiet of a night all leading to a great night's sleep. If you haven't visited Conwy before the streets are quite narrow which is typical of a town of its age and a little care is needed driving up Chapel St to the property but after a while you get the hang of it. Conwy has a number of bars, pubs and restaurants to explore and if you are looking to come I'd highly recommend Elsinore as a place to stay for your visit.

The place is spotless, everything works, everything feels new, nothing is missing, and the location being inside the castle walls is frankly awesome. We received a wonderful Halloween themed welcome package which was amazing. Conwy is amazing anyway but this holiday home tops it all. We will definitely be returning to this one!!!!

Elsinore is a lovely property, renovated (recently I would imagine) to a high standard, clean and comfortable and well provisioned. And it could hardly be more central - not on a main street itself (so quiet) but you can walk to any of Conwy's three main streets in a couple of minutes. Eleri came across as a very considerate host, getting in touch before we arrived to explain parking and when we'd be able to get in. And the "essentials" (like prosecco!) and local products left for us were very welcome. Being so central does, I'm sure, mean people park on the street who have business in town. But Eleri has a couple of traffic cones to reserve parking by the property, and put them in place before we arrived. They did the trick for us. To be honest, there's so much to do within walking distance, you may find you don't need to use the car much (we didn't). Or perhaps bring a bike - some good cycling in the area and there's a spacious, lockable outhouse at the property, perfect for bike storage. I'll be bringing mine next time!
