Burleigh House

A Four-Star Guest House Steps from Llandudno’s Beach

This family-run, four-star guest house occupies a handsome Victorian building dating from around 1863, set on a quiet street within a couple of minutes’ walk of Llandudno’s North Shore beach and pier. It pairs period character with comfortable, well-kept rooms and a warm personal welcome, making a friendly and central base for exploring this classic Welsh seaside resort.

The rooms

There is a good choice of rooms to suit couples and solo travellers, including Superior King rooms (some with their own lounge area), a Superior Double with a lounge area, a standard Double and a Small Double. Each has a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, and the owners pay attention to the details guests appreciate: hypoallergenic bedding, free toiletries, a television with Freeview and a DVD player, a hairdryer and a radio alarm with an iPod dock. Fairtrade hospitality products are used where possible, and bottled water is provided as a thoughtful touch.

The guest house is run with care, with daily housekeeping, luggage storage for early arrivals or late departures, and an outdoor seating area to relax in. Please note the building has no lift and no ground-floor rooms, and it is geared towards adults and older children rather than very young families.

Breakfast and the welcome

Breakfast is a highlight and consistently praised by guests. Freshly cooked to order with generous portions, the menu covers a full English or Irish breakfast along with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, so most dietary needs are easily met. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout the house, and parking is available for guests arriving by car.

The combination of a quiet, tree-lined setting and a position just minutes from the sea is what makes this guest house work so well. You get a restful night away from the seafront crowds, yet the promenade, the shops and the pier are all an easy walk away — the best of both worlds for a Llandudno break. Thoughtful extras such as Fairtrade hospitality products and complimentary bottled water round off a stay that is comfortable and quietly well looked after.

Llandudno on the doorstep

Llandudno is the grande dame of Welsh seaside resorts, with its sweeping promenade, the longest pier in Wales and a curving bay framed by two headlands. From the guest house it is only a short walk to the sea, the pier and the shops, while the Great Orme rises above the town with its tramway, cable car and summit views over the bay. Venue Cymru, the seafront theatre and conference centre, is close by, and the walled town of Conwy with its mighty castle is a short drive away. The mountains of Snowdonia are within easy reach for a day inland. For more options nearby, see our guide to bed and breakfasts in Llandudno.
