  • "Lovely clean and well equipped cottage with a great view over Llandudno."

    Very comfortable beds and excellent water pressure for shower. Access front and back is very steep so not suitable for young children or adults with decreased mobility. Really enjoyed our stay, thank you.

  • "Impressed with cleanliness but can tell the property is well used and starting to get tired with some care & upkeep now needed (eg) 2 front blinds missing, couch torn, bathroom blind broken etc."

    Boiler needed reset sometimes to provide hot water but advised of this by the owner on day of travel and very minor inconvenience. Not used to early departure of 9.30am. Nice location and overall enjoyed our stay.

  • "It was lovely- 5 mins down the hill into Llandudno and yet breath-taking quiet walks across the Orme from the back door."

    Views from the front are awesome. We had an issue with the hot water, but the owner moved rapidly and considerately to resolve this. Steps perhaps too steep for older people (and toddlers). We'd stay again!

  • "This is a very good holiday home, with a high standard of cleanliness in the key area of bathroom and kitchen, as well as in general."

    The small details of starter tea and milk and loo rolls , and a small pack of cake/biscuits, was very civilised after a long journey, spot on. Thankyou

  • "Roadside parking ?"

    Not on the road outside of the property .The front road is for residents only and the road to the rear is merely a cart track ,full of obstacles dustbins and folded push chairs ,as they never seemed to move I would suggest they were there to reserve parking spots .That grope out of the way the property was well equipped and cosy ,the bedrooms were spacious and there was plenty of storage space .The individual shower room and bathroom was a well appreciated asset .The upper staircase was very steep and narrow ,not for less able people ,so we’re the steps to the front and rear of the property.overall the property was clean and well equipped,set in spectacular views.Not one for any body less able .The Welsh cakes provided for us upon arrival were delightful and yes we would stay there again.

  • "We stayed here for four nights."

    Lovely house with great views. Stairs and steps very steep with the house high up in the hills by the Great Orme. Lots to see and do in the area. The weather happened to be glorious. The only downside was the check out time of 9.30 am. Would have liked this to be a bit later. Would stay there again. The neighbours were very friendly.

  • "Our second visit to Craig Yr Angel & just as enjoyable."

    The property is set in stunning landscape & well worth the steep walk up. Everything was clean & tidy with all the facilities you would need. Very helpful information given by the owner beforehand. Lovely to see donkeys, sheep & goats literally at our doorstep. Can't wait to return.

  • "The property was great, everything was very well cleaned and fresh."

    The only issue we had was parking but the owner contacted us and told us about it so it was not a surprise. It is a little way up the side of the Great Orme so it is a steep walk into the town - about 10 mins. The Kings Head next to the Tram station is a good place to eat but may need to book in season because it is popular.

  • "The cottage was in a lovely spot with amazing views over Llandudno and the bay."

    it was very well stocked with items for use during our stay - we didn't do much cooking, but there were plenty of pots/pans/utensils/cutlery. The beds were comfy, bathrooms very well turned out and the living room and dining kitchen were very comfortable too. The steps are steep on entry to the cottage, but nothing we couldn't handle. With the fantastic view comes the need to climb back up a steep hill from town if you've been down for a drink/meal. There is a bus, but we didn't use that. The owner was very helpful and provided lots of tips in advance, and was very understanding and friendly. I'd definitely recommend this cottage for a visit. The only downside was having to vacate the property at 9:30am - no time for a leisurely breakfast or anything in the morning so we just had to abandon ship and go into town.

  • "Craig Yr Angel is a beautiful cottage with stunning views of Llandudno."

    It was spotlessly clean, well equipped and the welcoming Welsh cakes were a lovely treat. It was a perfect peaceful getaway. A steep walk up the Great Orme from the beach but well worth it. Friendly neighbours who provided us with eggs and donkeys in the field opposite. We were visited frequently by the local goats which was lovely to see.

The property

Situated on the side of the Great Orme, Craig Yr Angel is a beautifully presented three-storey dwelling, boasting a traditional interior and a homely aura from which to explore the wonders of Wales with your loved ones.

This terraced former copper miners cottage offers excellent holiday accommodation for exploring Llandudno, resting in a desirable position just outside of the excitement of the town, while also benefiting from sitting along the Great Orme, there's no better choice for a coastal escape.

Enter past your private patio, stopping to breathe in the fresh coastal air, before taking the steep steps up to the front door to be welcomed in by the Victorian-styled black and white tiled floor, with the sitting room resting peacefully to the left where you will find breath-taking views, a welcoming gas fire, perfect for those cosy nights in when you're out adventuring, the plush seating arrangement making a lovely spot to unwind with a good book.

At the rear of the property you can find the kitchen/diner, boasting the most quirky character, here you can sit and keep the chef of the group company as they make use of the wonderful range of appliances at hand, with all you could need for a self-catered stay.

Make the most of your location by dining alfresco out in the rear courtyard, a marvellous spot to enjoy a homemade meal when you're not out sampling the fresh sea food of the coast.

Take the staircase to the first floor to find a well-presented twin bedroom accompanied by both a stylish shower room and a bathroom, both impressive in size, it offers you plenty of space to prepare for your day amongst a contemporary interior.

Up on the final floor rests both a king-size and a double, both boasting their own splendid views and a lovely sleeping spot to relax each evening.

There's so much to explore within the local area, with the tramline running at the bottom of the road giving you easy access to the surrounding wonders, while Llandudno itself offers excitement at any time of year; for a traditional seaside experience, explore the 19th century Llandudno Pier, hosting shops and a games arcade, as well as there being plenty of opportunities to enjoy tasty fish and chips, while a day spent at North Shore Beach is a must along with Punch and Judy shows.

Other wonderful attractions include the Llandudno Ski and Snowboard Centre which is just a 5 minute walk from the property, Happy Valley Botanical Gardens, Llandudno Chocolate Experience, golfing and so much more, with plenty of shops and restaurants to while away the hours in too.

For those seeking natural splendour, nothing beats a stroll along the coast with plenty of wildlife watching opportunities, while the Great Orme Country Park provides the perfect picnic spot along with models, interactive displays and exciting films where you can learn more about the diverse wildlife, protected plant species and history of the Great Orme; the perfect family day out.

The Snowdonia National Park can be reached by car for those seeking a more challenging ramble, with Conwy en-route being well-worth a visit to discover its rich history including The Smallest House in Great Britain!

In reach of Rhos on Sea, Colwyn Bay, and so many more wonderful locations, Craig Y Angel is the perfect choice for an action-packed escape to Wales, at any time of year.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

LLANDUDNO

Conwy 4 miles, Colwyn Bay 6 miles, Snowdonia 20 miles.

Llandudno lies between two headlands, the Great Orme and the Little Orme and it is these headlands, and the town's two waterfronts, that give this tourist resort its special appeal. The town offers two superb beaches - the North Shore, with its wide promenade backed by an imposing crescent of Victorian hotels and the quieter West Shore with miles of sandy shoreline backed by sand dunes and superb views towards Anglesey. For the best views, however, you can reach the summit of the 679ft Great Orme using either the Great Orme Tramway or by taking an exciting cable car ride of over a mile. The town has an excellent selection of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés, as well as Venue Cymru, which is North Wales' premier theatrical stage for opera, ballet, musicals, comedy and visiting orchestras, boasting a programme that is second to none - all this is just a stone's throw from the promenade. Just 4 miles away is the town of Conwy - a designated World Heritage Site. A true medieval gem, Conwy is dominated by a splendid castle and completely enclosed by its well-preserved town walls. Discover miles of sandy beaches along the North Wales coast and excellent walking and climbing in the Snowdonia National Park just 20 minutes' drive away - there's plenty to see and do!
