Explore this traditional beach town on Wales’ northern coast. It is framed by sandy bays, surrounded by ancient hills and home to Victoria-era architecture.

Visit Llandudno for the true essence of a British seaside resort. The town’s beaches, pier and pristine seafront preserve a captivating 19th-century splendor. Llandudno straddles the Creuddyn Peninsula on Wales’ northernmost coastline and overlooks the Irish Sea.

Stroll around the town center streets to find cafés, teahouses and friendly pubs. Browse exhibits of contemporary art at the Oriel Mostyn Gallery. Explore the town’s long history at the Llandudno Museum and see a recreation of life during World War II at the Home Front Experience.

Relax and enjoy watersports at Colwyn Bay Beach and Penrhyn Bay Beach.

"I love the old feel of the hotel. There's a ballroom and a stage which adds to the character. Because it's old that means there are low ceilings and quirky room set ups. However the location to the promenade is really good. I think it's excellent value for the location"

We took the children to the Welsh mountain zoo, the boys enjoyed it, we couldn’t find some of the animals that was on the map, but they are doing a lot of work new enclosures etc. There was a lot of good play areas for all ages.
