1. Plas Mawr
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 909 reviews
Plas Mawr, or the Great Hall, is quite simply the finest surviving Elizabethan town house anywhere in Britain. This was a golden age when fabulously wealthy merchants invested in mansions, rich fittings and lavish entertaining. Robert Wynn, third son of a local landowner, wanted a piece of the action. The house’s main frontage is discreetly hidden away in a steep narrow lane. So the High Street gatehouse only hints at the grandeur within, as you rise via a series of terraces to explore 17 impressive rooms. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures. Advanced booking required.

I’m so glad the person at the ticket counter at Conwy Castle recommended we pop over to Plas Mawr before we left the area. This is a delightful Elizabethan era townhouse that has been wonderfully restored and set up to show the life of the wealthy merchant, Robert Wynn, who built it in the 1570s. Furniture and decorations from the time tell a fascinating story, and all the painted heraldic emblems and fanciful figures are very intriguing, especially all the severed heads! They are associated with the family of his wife, Dorothy Griffin. An hour is plenty of time for a visit.

Went on Saturday 21 December. Five of us on the tour taken by James, who was knowledgeable and very personal. The brewery is a real local success story, great its doing so well. After the tour we had three halves of different beers in their homely bar, all very enjoyable. Many thanks

If you love chocolate you will love these guys! I ordered a selection of Dragon Eggs from the Easter Range online as gifts which arrived 2 days after ordering! When they arrived they were well packaged to protect the eggs and the eggs themselves were beautifully presented and decorated. I then placed another order and called to check a couple of things with my order. The gentleman was extremely friendly and helpful! The service and experience from start to finish has been absolutely brilliant! I would highly recommend and I will definitely be ordering again. Thank you for amazing chocolate!

Just a stone's throw from Conwy's magnificent medieval town walls, the centre contains the county archive, an area library, heritage exhibitions, a community arts hub, meeting room, and café. It's a great starting point to explore the rich story of Conwy County. The exhibitions on display take visitors through five thousand years of history complete with unique objects and artworks.

Lovely fresh space that makes local history engaging. My 8year old daughter & I spent time exploring the interactive & static historical interpretations. Look for the ones on the book shelves! We also spent time reading on the sofa. Looking forward to the opening of the archives next month. Now the lovely café has opened the whole building is buzzing and we met lots of people.

Fantastic pub with some excellent beers, staff are friendly as are the regulars. Food is a little unusual, only different Porto pies but they are excellent and I enjoyed the one I had, beers are very well kept. As a beer pub it’s very hard to fault

These mussels are the best I've ever eaten! They are big, juicy and tasty. At £6 for 2kg they're good value too. I cooked them with bacon, white wine, garlic, parsley and double cream. Delicious!
