Plas y Foel Basement

This one bedroom basement guest suite is self contained accommodation underneath our family home. It has its own entrance with access to an outdoor terrace and small garden. It can sleep up to 4 people, with Twin beds in the bedroom and one bed settee in the sitting room area. There is a TV for DVD'S , a good selection is provided and Netflix too. There is a breakfast bar where I provide for guests a basic breakfast, which consists of cereals, toast, milk butter, orange juice tea and coffee. Plas y Foel is situated in Snowdonia National Park, it overlooks the sea and has a public footpath behind the house leading into an oak wood and on up to the mountains. This location is great for people who love walking and outdoor activities. There is also a wide sandy beach 20 minute walk away. Guests will have access to a sitting area on the terrace at the side of the house with spectacular views of the sea and mountains. There is a picnic table and bench for outside dining. Parking is available opposite the house. The main house is inhabited by myself and my husband, 2 small dogs and a very friendly house cat. We will be available if and when needed. The neighbourhood is very quiet and friendly. Our house Plas y Foel is detached and overlooks the sea, The Great Orme and Conwy Bay. Directly in front of the house is Penmaenmawr Public Golf Course which is a feature of the village, it is a 9 -hole golf course and visitors are welcome to play for a modest daily fee. There are so many walks that are accessible from the house, including neolithic stone circles and standing stones on the hills and mountains behind. (Snowdonia National Park) There are a number of shorter footpath walks around the village or longer walks up onto the surrounding hills. There is also parking at the top of the nearby Sychnant Pass with more walks up into the mountains. The local Fairy Glen pub is a short walk away where excellent food is served daily. (15 min walk ) Another walk from our house will take you down to the blue flag beach (20 minutes) and at low tide you can walk along the shore to the next village of Penmaenmawr where there is a small cafe on the promenade. Penmaenmawr itself is a pretty village and has a few local shops, A chemist, pet shop and post office, Spar convenience store, bread shop and Betty's Cafe. Also a newly refurbished Museum due to reopen in July 2020. Penmaenmawr was made famous in the 2nd part of the 19th Century as a holiday destination of William Gladstone (4 times Prime Minister) who visited many times for family holidays. Alternatively heading east along the beach at low tide there is a great coastal walk to the historic town of Conwy (Europe's finest example of a fortified town with its magnificent castle built in 1285 by Edward I.) Conwy is 3 miles by road from Plas y Foel and contains many restaurants, cafe's, galleries and artisan craft/gift shops within its ancient walls. Llandudno town is just 10 miles away, boasting a 19th-century pier, north shore beach, and plenty of shops, restaurants and attractions to choose from. There is a regular bus service - No's 5, 75, and x5 taking you to most local towns including Conwy Town, LLandudno, Colwyn Bay, or west to Bangor and Caernarfon. The local train station Penmaenmawr is within walking distance. By car the house is 5 minutes from the A55. Our beautiful house is situated in an elevated position. Accessed either from the public footpath that runs up the side of the property, or from the front gate and up the 28 steps from Conwy Old Road. (So not suitable for people with mobility problems.) As this is a basement guest suite, there are also steps down to the entrance. The window and door allow for ventilation and emergency access but only limited natural light. ie there are no sea views inside the basement ! : ) But amazing views from the garden terrace which you have access to. We live above the basement as its our family home - some noise does travel down but not excessively. We are always mindful if we have guests.
