Penmaenmawr is an old quarrying town that has been transformed into a lovely community that stretches along this stunning coastline while retaining much of its Victorian architecture. It has many local pubs, restaurants, and shops, a fantastic golf course, and golden, sandy beaches. It is located on the North Wales coast between Llanfairfechan and Conwy. Many areas of Penmaenmawr and its sister village Dwygyfylchi, which are situated on the Tal-Y-Fan mountain, provide breathtaking views of Llandudno, Puffin Island, Anglesey, and the Irish Sea across Conwy Harbor. If you're lucky, you might even get a glimpse of dolphins and seals frolicking in the bay. The seaside walk connects to Llanfairfechan to the west and Conwy Marina to the east through a freshly created bicycle path. Alternately, ascend the Conwy valley via the Sychnant Pass and use one of the several nearby mountain routes. Both the sailing club and the 9-hole golf course at Penmaenmawr, which are located on the lower slopes of the hamlet and are well-established, accept day visitors. Both are surrounded by breathtaking coastal scenery. Numerous attractions, including a skate park, a kiddie pool, and a beach cafe open throughout the year, can be found on the promenade. On the promemade, you may also rent beach cottages by the day. A bowling green and all-weather tennis courts are also close to the shore.

Clean and tidy, however there were several areas which need a lot of attention. The kitchen is described as well equipped; the pans need replacing (this could because the one jcloth supplied could not tackle the caked on grime left by previous visitors); the mugs and plates are a mismatched assortment; the cutlery was two sets of of adult size and a set of six pairs of flimsy children's cutlery. There were no Pyrex or microwave bowls so Microwave cooker was obsolete The beds were comfortable but the pillows should have been replaced a long time ago. For the amount we paid we expected a much better equipped holiday home.

Something needs doing regarding general non-recyclable rubbish as the outside bin was full when we got there and there were black ripped bags in the garden as well. We contacted the helpline number twice but even after assurance the waste was not removed.
