Uppergate Self Catering Cottage

A Self-Catering Cottage Inside Conwy’s Medieval Town Walls

It is rare to find a holiday cottage that sits inside one of Britain’s great medieval walled towns, but that is exactly what you get at this charming end-terraced cottage in the heart of historic Conwy. Step out of the front door and you are within the famous town walls, a few minutes from the castle, the harbour and the smallest house in Britain. For anyone who wants to explore Conwy on foot and soak up centuries of history, the location could hardly be better.

The cottage

This is a characterful end-terraced cottage with three bedrooms, sleeping up to five guests. The layout offers a double, a twin and a single room, which makes it a flexible choice for a family or a small group of friends. There is one spacious bathroom fitted with both a separate bath and a shower, and a fully equipped kitchen with an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge-freezer and washing machine — everything you need for a self-catering stay in the town. Free WiFi is included, along with a television with Freeview and a selection of books, games and DVDs for quieter evenings.

Comfort and character

The cottage enjoys river views and has a garden with a seating area, a lovely spot to sit out after a day of sightseeing. Bed linen and towels are provided, so there is little to think about beyond turning up and settling in. Parking is available close by, and the railway station is only a very short walk away, which makes arriving without a car genuinely easy. Please note the cottage does not accept pets.

Conwy — a UNESCO World Heritage town

Conwy is one of the finest walled towns in Europe, and its mighty 13th-century castle and ring of walls form part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the cottage you can walk the walls, explore the quay where the smallest house in Britain stands, and browse the independent shops and cafés that line the narrow streets. The estuary and harbour are full of life, with boats, fishing and views across to the hills beyond. For more on the area and other places to stay, see our guide to Conwy accommodation.

Exploring the wider area

Conwy makes a superb base for North Wales. The Victorian seaside resort of Llandudno, with its grand promenade and the Great Orme, is just along the coast. The world-famous Bodnant Garden lies a short drive up the valley, and the mountains, lakes and waterfalls of Eryri (Snowdonia) begin only a few miles inland — Betws-y-Coed and the high passes are within comfortable reach for a day out. Whether you fancy a beach day, a garden visit or a proper mountain walk, much of it is on your doorstep.
