A wonderful B&B just a 10 minute walk from the centre of Conwy. We stayed in room 7 (Mountain View) which was a great size and plenty of storage for clothes with a good sized bathroom. The view from the room was wonderful! …

We would not recommend staying here without a car. And even with a car, we felt it was too far from center of town. We had room #2 which was quite small, with an even smaller bathroom. We also did not enjoy the old fashioned decor, although room was pristine. And hosts were very kind.

Lovely hotel a short walk from town centre. Spotlessly clean, spacious room. The room and bathroom were finished to a high standard and the bed was very comfortable. The really nice couple who run the hotel were welcoming, friendly and very helpful.|This was our first stay at this hotel but it definitely will not be our last.

We have just got back home from a lovely 2 night stay . Room was lovely and cosy, en suit small but manageable. Spotlessly clean, breakfast was super, cooked to perfection. Steep steps to the front of the property but we managed with help from Andy. Hospitality was fab. |Thank you |Jane & Colin
