Guests say
Craiglwyd Bach is a well-received cottage in Llandudno, praised for its cleanliness, stunning views, and welcoming hosts. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, cosy atmosphere, and proximity to local pubs and walks. The challenging access road is noted, but the cottage's charm and amenities seem to compensate for any inconvenience.
The cottage consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews describing it as 'spotlessly clean' and 'the cleanest property I have stayed at by far'. This suggests a very high standard of cleanliness maintained by the owners.
The location is highly praised for its breathtaking views and proximity to local attractions, including beaches, walks, and dog-friendly pubs. The challenging access road is a minor concern for some, but the views and convenience seem to outweigh this.
Comfort is generally rated highly, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable. However, a few guests mentioned an uncomfortable sofa, which slightly impacts the overall comfort score.
Facilities are well-regarded, with the cottage being described as well-equipped for cooking needs and providing a snug setting with a woodburner. Some guests suggested improvements, such as updating the sofa and concerns about the hedge obstructing views, which affects the score.
Guests frequently mention the thoughtful gestures, such as welcome packs with cake, milk, and tea, and the provision of torches and dog amenities. While these are appreciated, it is politely noted that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Llandudno 3 miles.
A delightful, Grade II listed 18th century single-storey cottage, set in an elevated location on a quiet lane above Penrhynside, with stunning views over Penrhyn Bay. This Llandudno cottage is a superb retreat for romantic getaways and activity breaks in North Wales. Set next to the owners' home, this Llandudno cottage offers peace and tranquillity from the moment you arrive, with a spacious bedroom with exposed beams and a super king-size bed. The sitting room continues the traditional character of this Llandudno cottage, with exposed beams and stone wall, and a woodburner to keep you warm in the evening after a long walk along the coast. The fitted kitchen is well equipped and offers seating at a breakfast bar from which to enjoy the sea views. Outside there is a sun-soaked patio area overlooking the valley. Accessible hilltop walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep of this Llandudno cottage, with beautiful views from the top over Llandudno and Conwy bays, Snowdonia, Anglesey, and even the Isle of Man on a clear day. This is a superb, quiet Llandudno cottage getaway, yet only a short stroll to two CAMRA award-winning pubs in the centre of Penrhynside, making it an ideal location to enjoy any time of the year.
The Victorian seaside town of Llandudno has a grand promenade, two beaches, and a good selection of shops, pubs and eateries. For superb views over the town and coast, head up the magnificent Great Orme using the tramway or cable car. The rest of the north Wales coast is easily accessible, as are the delights of Snowdonia, and the beaches and villages of Anglesey.

You couldn't wish for more helpful and friendly people as the owners of this cottage. The roads to the cottage are narrow , and winding. Room for one car only . There is parking alternative to the cottage , which is alright. Beautiful views from the cottage garden.We enjoyed our stay very much

The views are superb and the walks supplied before your visit are great. We did angel bay to see the seals the great orme to see wonderful views and Llandudno which was so clean and pretty. We also drove out to treaddar bay. In the village the Penrhyn pub does the best Sunday dinners and the Crosskeys has the friendliest and most entertaining bunch of locals. A fabulous find so we booked again before we left. Our 4 legged friend Bella loved it especially the log fire.
