A collection of three charming holiday cottages on a working farm above the Conwy Valley, sleeping up to 9 in total.
Conwy is a complete medieval walled town, small enough to walk end to end in a few minutes, with the castle, the quay and the High Street all close together. The estuary runs along one side, and fishing boats still land mussels at the quay.

Go up on the walls first, which cost nothing, then down to the quay for the boats. Give an afternoon to Plas Mawr, the Elizabethan townhouse on the High Street, open March to early November. If your dates are flexible, keep an eye out for the Honey Fair in September.
The valley behind the town runs south towards the mountains, with Bodnant Garden about twenty minutes up it and Betws-y-Coed at the head. Llandudno is ten minutes the other way along the coast, and the A55 passes under the estuary rather than through the town.
On Castle Street there is a house that was old when Elizabeth I came to the throne. Aberconwy House is a medieval merchant’s house — not a church and not a castle, but a place somebody lived and traded from.
Its timbers have been dated to 1417, which puts it up in a town then about a hundred and thirty years old. Very few houses of that age survive anywhere in Wales, and the National Trust owns it now.
One honest warning, because a good many guidebooks have not caught up. It is no longer a furnished historic house you tour. Since it reopened in October 2023 the ground floor operates as a second-hand bookshop, on limited days, and that is the visit. The building is worth standing in front of; just do not go expecting period rooms.
What the town does give you is somewhere small enough to run on foot. Self-catering here means a kitchen inside the walls, the shops of the High Street a few doors away, and the quay five minutes down the hill.
A cottage inside the walls means the car can stay put all week, with everything a few minutes on foot. For a day out, the Conwy valley opens south towards Betws-y-Coed, and the beaches at Llandudno and Rhos-on-Sea are ten minutes east. Come out of season and the walled town is quiet, the Aberconwy House bookshop open and the car parks half empty.
Self-catering in Conwy means your own front door and kitchen, a few minutes from the castle, the quay and the High Street, from £80. Some properties sit within the medieval walls, others out along the valley with more room and easier parking. Rather be cooked for? See the town's hotels and inns or its B&Bs, or everything in Conwy.
