My friend and I stayed here in August 2022 and loved it! We chose the Gwynfryn Guest House because…read moreof its central location inside the city walls, good reviews, an amazing chapel breakfast area, and overall affordability.... I'm happy to say we had no regrets! A couple things I'd highlight: -We met one of the owners (Colin, I believe) and he was super welcoming and suggested a great local restaurant around the corner called Watsons Bistro. -The rooms are very tasteful and the beds are comfortable. -The breakfast was tasty and the service was great. -The chapel is really very beautiful/special/fantastic/all the adjectives. -We parked right outside the walls for a cheap price. It was only a few minutes walk. No big deal. Conwy and Snowdonia were our favorite places to visit on our Wales trip, and the Gwynfryn Guest House definitely contributed to that! We would happily go back.

What a solid B & B located in the super-charming walled town of Conwy, North Wales!…read more The main house contains rooms and a sitting area and what used to be the breakfast room. As of last Sunday 5/20/2017~ish, the new kitchen and breakfast room has been relocated to the old church chapel - it's awesome! So, the room I stayed in was in the "vestry" and was superb! All brand new, clean and cozy - the room was perfect! The ensuite bathroom was very nice (only needed some hand soap.) During my recent trip, I stayed twice, but a week apart...kinda coming and going. Both visits were stellar. Colin was extremely cool and accommodating (only met Monica briefly - she was quite friendly). I'm not sure how soon I'll be back, but I will only stay at Gwynfryn during my next visit to Conwy - it was PERFECT! 5 stars...so SOLID!

The Aachen hotel is in a great location within the city as it is within walking distance of the…read morecity centre as well as being in close proximity to Lime Street, so for those looking for convenience then this is a great little spot. The place itself is simple and very unpretentious, it offers a range of rooms and extras such as breakfast but on the whole there is nothing exceptional about the service. The problem I have with this place is that there always seems to be a number of people on the doorstep simply hanging around for large portions of the day which can be a bit unwelcoming if you are new to the city and looking for somewhere to stay. The prices here are reasonable and rates vary depending on the size of the room you order and the length of your stay. On the whole this place is small, simple and adequate enough but if you are after luxury then you should probably head somewhere else.

In 1973 the picture Wicker man was released. In 1997 it was broadcast on Channel 4 and I had the…read morepleasure of watching the cult classic horror. Before Sergent Howie discovers what is going on in the sleepy village it seems perfect does it not? Well for those of us not from England have no doubt ever since, have had this idea of the English country side with "barns" everywhere adventurous places where all kinds of fun and games occur, innocent during the day and not so much at night!! For those of you who were intrigued ever since watching the Wicker man or Straw Dogs or whichever 70's feature exploring the British countryside you might want to stay at "The Barn". I merely speculate of course, you might have a totally different agenda when choosing this place, and that is ok!! Here is the scenario; you are landing in Liverpool, a popular and cheap choice of airport for a lot of European out and inbound flights. You want to experience the buzz of the city centre but at the same time get a taste of the country. How about the Barn I say. Bring a few old classic horror movies to watch on your laptop in bed before some shut eye, guaranteed to go down a treat!! Or perhaps that's just me!! Do watch out for creaking doors and strange noises from outside!! I'm kidding!!!!!!!! This an absolute homely gem of a place to stay especially for those with littlens. The service is impeccable and a fresh recently refurbished interior is a delight. What's more, no room for complaints on the price front with single rooms coming in at a poultry £40 a night. (Yes I do love that word and it does feature in all my reviews...poultry..mmm perhaps its because I love chickens..hmm ) Do be careful when you suggest it to the other half though. "Fancy a night in the barn love" might not go down as well as you think!!! Or maybe it will who knows. Enjoy having a right old "Barn"ey if the latter is the case. What ever you do, don't forget to...Chamon it!! Who's bad?? Ma bad!!

Narrow on the inside, overlapping the street on the outside, the Richmond feels like it occupies…read moremore space than it physically owns. Clutching leech-like to the corner of a building, the interior is little more than a corridor dominated by the slick, brass-tapped bar. Outside, there's a barrier separating the patrons from meandering shoppers, like zoo animals. Standing at a table with a cider on a sunny day becomes a bizarre but engrossing experience as people straining with carrier bags and prams shuffle past. You feel like you've simply stopped dead in a busy thoroughfare and in some ways you have. This is the kind of place you could walk into, get a drink and walk out of without breaking stride. Good for one though, provided you don't crack your scalp on the low toilet door. That's never an attractive thing to do in front of shoppers.

However this is a very friendly place despite what the pictures might suggest - the ridiculous number of England flags for the world cup make it look like a BNP social club but they are not a permananet feature, although having said that these things usually get left up until they have turned yellow and start to frey. Noty a great selection of beers, the theme is cheap and plentiful as the old fellas here will usually start at midday and go on drinking for ages which creates that strange, funny but baffling atmosphere you get with drunken old people. Friendly but you rarely know what the joke is - it's generally the young one.

I wasn't expecting much from this pub. After dawdling idly through barren estates that I'd never…read moreseen before in which the only marker to show where we were was the turbid streak of river to our left, I found this building. Seemingly propped up on one side by an outcrop of rock and with a doorway populated by glaring smokers, it resembled somewhere that would result in my gruesome death if I supported the wrong team or hated places rhyming with geranium. You can tell I was wrong. It got five stars for one thing. Inside, the Herculaneum Bridge was surprisingly well decorated, with a wide, acorn-coloured bar that had model ships and steamrollers dotted above it. The barman was the epitome of Liverpudlian hospitality- mockingly jokey and the quiz machine paid out like a dodgy cash machine. Then when I thought it couldn't get better, the barman shouted us to show he'd poured us three pints 'on the house'. It shows how plagued by cynicism I am that I was unnerved by getting free drinks off the staff. Things like that don't happen, ever. The only downside with this pub is that it's miles from anywhere and I imagine would be difficult for tourists to find if they were using it as a hotel. However, if that means it remains my hidden secret then I hope it stays lost forever in the centre of nowhere. It's mine, my own, my precious.
