Before choosing where to stay

Where to Base

Stay within the walled town on the west bank for easy walking access to the castle and historic streets. Deganwy on the east bank offers quieter accommodation but requires crossing the river for main attractions.

Getting Around

The town is compact and best explored on foot within the walls. There is no local airport; visitors typically fly into nearby hubs. Public transport connects to wider North Wales, but walking is sufficient for the core area.

Best Season

Spring and summer offer pleasant weather for walking the town walls. Winter provides a quieter atmosphere to appreciate the medieval architecture and castle without peak-season crowds.

Dining

The Jackdaw

Restaurant££££1.5 km

Jackdaw is the name given to a person born within the walls of Conwy, making this an aptly named restaurant in the town centre. It’s a snug, intimate place nestled on the first floor of a characterful building that was once a cinema. The modern tasting menu has a distinctly playful edge, backed up by well-judged flavour combinations; Welsh pride and hyper-seasonality also play a part, exemplified by a dessert built around the Afal Enlli apple. Service is warm and the wines are listed by how far away from Conwy they were produced, as the jackdaw flies.

Bryn Williams at Porth Eirias

Restaurant££8.3 km

If it's a stunning setting you're after, this striking beachside brasserie delivers in spades. Providing gorgeous views over the water, the dining room is in an enviable spot, and is decorated with a faux-industrial style and blue leather banquettes. The eponymous chef oversees a menu of unfussy dishes utilising plenty of local seafood, such as the fish fingers made using the daily catch. The service is efficient and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with the restaurant's popularity lending it a welcome buzz.
