Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Conwy

Enjoy a Welsh cottage holiday in the historic medieval town of Conwy within easy reach of Snowdonia and magnificent beaches at Llandudno and Anglesey. Home to a majestic, enormous castle, the historic, pretty walled town of Conwy on the North Wales Coast is steeped in culture and history. Stay in a lovingly restored holiday home within the town’s walls or enjoy a cottage rental in the countryside alongside the estuary between Conwy and Caernarfon.

Of course, Conwy’s main attraction is its impressive castle located at the edge of the town, which was part of Edward I attempt to create an ‘iron ring’ to contain Wales and the people within it. It is regarded as the most impressive of Edward’s ‘fortresses’. The views from the top of the eight towers are truly breathtaking as you gaze out across the sea and back towards the mountains of the Snowdonia National Park.

Conwy’s other great attribute is also visible from this grand height - the ring of the wall surrounding the town. It is three-quarters of a mile long and consists of twenty-two towers guarding it, possibly one of the finest in the UK.

In contrast to this, visit The Smallest House in Great Britain. It is a tiny, red National Trust Building that measures 1.8 metres wide by 3.06 metres high. A 6’3” fisherman once inhabited it until the council deemed it unsuitable to be lived in.

Conwy is a beautiful town, full of spirit and history waiting to be discovered. There’s plenty to see further afield, such as the wonderfully restored Victorian Resort of Llandudno, where you can take a cable car ride to the top of the Great Orme or a steam train on the Welsh Highland Railway or the Ffestiniog railway - two of the superb narrow gauge railways of Wales. A day out visiting the magnificent old slate quarries at Blaenau Ffestiniog is also recommended. There’s another historic castle to be discovered in nearby Caernarfon, or take a day trip to visit Anglesey and its wonderful sandy and surfing beaches.
