About this property
Tucked away in the coastal town of Llanfairfechan, Conwy, rests this charming, single-storey cottage, Crabapple Cottage. Ideal for romantic holidays or solo breaks, this characterful cottage is close to the beach, and a stone's throw away from Snowdonia National Park for wonderful walks. Inside you'll find the double bedroom, a pleasant space with high ceilings and painted beams, a dressing table, and a window overlooking the garden. The living/dining room is perfect for relaxing by the warmth of the woodburning stove whilst your favourite show plays on the wall-mounted Smart TV. With upholstered chairs and a glass dining table the white-washed stone wall gives a classic cottage feel.

Before bed, freshen up in the snug beautifully appointed bathroom with a bath and shower over. You'll also have an enclosed patio garden, which is a beautiful sanctuary to relax in with outdoor seating.

There are also a number of restaurants and bars, as well as a pebble beach which is perfect for a summer's day. The North Wales Coastal Path runs through the town, making it a haven for walking and cycling. Along the coast you'll find the walled market town of Conwy where you can explore the scenic Conwy Castle, step back in time to the 16th-century at Plas Mawr residence and admire the river Conwy as you tuck into fish and chips on Conwy Quay. A little further brings you to the popular Llandudno where Venue Cymru, Llandudno Promenade, and cable cars up to Y Gogarth Great Orme Country Park for panoramic views offer something for everyone, all year-round. More nearby attractions include Welsh Mountain Zoo, the National Trust's Bodnant Garden, and plenty of tranquil beaches including Conwy Morfa Beach and Colwyn Bay Beach.

Penrhyn Castle & Garden, Bangor, and the royal town of Caernarfon are all within easy reach, as well as the idyllic Isle of Anglesey known for its picturesque coast. You'll be spoilt for choice on your next romantic holiday in North Wales at Crabapple Cottage.

Gary
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay as we have previously. Everything feels so familiar to us now - we know our way around Llanfairfechan and have figured out the best place to park. The cottage itself is so clean and tidy - we stayed in another cottage towards the end of last year and spent the entire week saying "it's not as nice as Crabapple Cottage". We booked this trip the day we got back! It's the perfect base for trips around the local area, as everything is so close by, and it's so cozy and comfy to come back to after a day exploring. We will almost certainly be back in the future.

Presented very nicely. All the space we needed. Living in mid coastal Wales we hadnât appreciated until this trip how different the coast is up here. Almost completed the entire Wales coast path now and the amazing public transport network here up north makes this spot ideal for Caernarfon to Rhyl section
