Less than 5 minutes’ walk from the North Wales coastline and beach, and a mile from local pubs, restaurants and shops. It is ideally situated for sightseeing, there is a golf course nearby and walks within local woods and hills. Bodnant Gardens, Conwy and several castles are within short driving distance, and the pretty Victorian seaside resort of Llandudno is easily accessible for the day. Grade II\* listed, this castellated gate tower is set into the original curtain wall of the Grade I listed Gwrych Castle, and overlooks the 500 year old Hen Wrych Hall, once home to the poet Felicia Hemans, whose famous poem was The Boy Stood on the Burning Deck’. Downstairs the cosy living area provides a delightful space for relaxing and a wood-burning stove will be a pleasure to return to in the winter months after a busy days sightseeing. A hand-carved mahogany staircase leads up to the first floor bathroom fitted with a sumptuously deep slipper bath and original Thomas Crapper toilet cistern. The attention to detail continues as you reach the second floor and the master bedroom. Here you will find a spectacular, heavily carved, Elizabethan-style four poster bed, the perfect complement to this romantic retreat. Gwrych Castle is ranked as one of the most important castellated houses of the picturesque style in Britain. Originally completed around 1822, the castle, its associated towers, lodges and park walls were designed by Lord and Lady Bamford Hesketh and Thomas Rickman, the architect and architectural theorist. The ground floor of the Tower still features one of his original cast iron windows. The wooden front door is also original and traces of scratched pictures of period sailing ships, possibly left by Napoleanic prisoners of war, can still be seen. Extensive renovation work was carried out by the present owners in collaboration with the local Conwy conservation officer. Unique features such as the camber headed front doorway and original bread oven have been preserved and a specially commissioned metal window was added to match the Rickman window downstairs. The 2020 series of ’I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’ was filmed in the estate. Free WiFi There are low banisters at the property. There are large gaps between banister spindles. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Limited onsite parking (max 1 space) ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32900000/32896600/32896524/67ebe088.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in St George, near Abergele St George, near Abergele - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Parking available - Fireplace 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-30&endDate=2025-12-01&selected=32896524&PinnedHotelID=32896524&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102680000/102674800/102674757/85776b49.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hills above and sea below - The Crow's Nest 🐦‍⬛ Llandudno - Pet-friendly 6.0 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-30&endDate=2025-12-01&selected=102674757&PinnedHotelID=102674757&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules The guest will be charged 50% amount for a cancellation after the reservation is made. ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ### Property payment types ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed This property accepts credit cards Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Our stay here was every bit as special as we hoped. The tower feels full of history, and homely at the same time. A total feast for the eyes and the bed was super comfy. The location is perfect for walking to the beach, and also for driving not far to Snowdonia national park where we did some really beautiful walks. Colwyn Bay and the walk along to Rhos on Sea also recommended. I can't wait to stay here again - the host make you very welcome yet we were completely left to ourselves, which we enjoyed . The busy road is literally the only thing that might take the slightest edge off, but no windows face it so noise was not a problem.

The tower is very nice and an interesting place to stay, it has just about everything you need. It was very cold when we arrived and some information on how to control the central heating would be nice. It was definitely set too low for this time of year. Although it adds to the atmosphere I felt that it needed better lighting particularly in the lounge - at times I used my phone light to look in the cupboards for example. The bedroom receives natural daylight via windows in the roof which are partially obscured by the four poster bed - this could be claustrophobic for some and it isn't obvious from the booking information. Despite these comments we loved the place. ##### Graham This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Oct 16, 2019 #### I booked Hen Wrych Tower as a surprise for my wife's 65 birthday. I booked Hen Wrych Tower as a surprise for my wife's 65 birthday. She was absolutely delighted with the place; as was I. No expense has been spared in renovating this old tower to a beautiful place to stay. The kitchen come living room is well equipped, comfortable and a lovely place to spend a chilly evening watching a movie in front of the wood burner. The beautiful timber stair case leads to more beautiful wood on the charming and interesting land. From the landing access a large and stunning bathroom. On the second floor is another large room; the bedroom with a gorgeous 4 poster bed. We had a brilliant time staying here for 3 nights. The hosts; Pea and David were helpful charming and chatty. If you want a taste of period beauty you should book this place. One tip you may find useful - take your slippers as the lovely stone floor is cold on your feet. ##### Mark This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan Sep 21, 2019 #### B Beautiful place for a romantic getaway ##### Susan This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robin Aug 11, 2019 #### One of the best places my wife and I have stayed.
