Accommodation & Holiday Cottages in Llandudno

Your children will be sure to love staying in a Llandudno holiday cottage. After all, this is a classic seaside destination that promises lots of fun for kids of all ages.

Of course, your first stop on a family seaside holiday will be the beach! Finding a holiday letting near the sea is easy, with plenty of seafront apartments and holiday homes available.

TTwo of the best local beaches are the North Shore and West Shore. The liveliest beach is North Shore, known locally as Llandudno Beach. Walk along the nearly 3000-foot Victorian pier, see a Punch and Judy show and even take a donkey ride across the sand. Grab an ice cream from the nearby ice cream shops and enjoy all the atmosphere of a vintage day at the beach.

Elsewhere in Llandudno is Great Orme Family Golf, a fun and competitive pitch and putt golf course, and Llandudno Ski and Snowboard Centre, where your kids can try their first attempt at skiing and snowboarding or just lay back in an inflatable ring and ride the 750m-long toboggan.

For an educational and fascinating day out during your stay at Llandudno holiday homes, visit the Home Front Experience. This exhibition transports visitors back to life during the Second World War.

Llandudno is simply a terrific place to be. From its charming shops and cafés to the enchanting pier and coastline, it invites visitors to enjoy all the simple pleasures of a Great British seaside getaway. Once you’ve spent some time soaking up the general atmosphere, you’ll find there’s plenty to keep you occupied during your holiday.

One absolute must-do is the Great Orme Tramway, Britain’s only cable tramway. Opened in 1902, the tramway operates from March to October and offers a unique experience. You can get on at Victoria station and ride it halfway, or complete the journey all the way to the Great Orme summit. Wherever your destination, you’ll enjoy travelling across the town in old-fashioned style and taking in the great views.

Once you alight from the Great Orme Tramway, a walk along the Great Orme headland will be refreshing and awe-inspiring in equal measures. Stop by the remote Saint Tudno's Church, which dates back to the 12th century.

Having discovered the old and beautiful side of Llandudno, change gears and head to the MOSTYN Art Gallery. This excellent exhibition is housed in a beautiful building and showcases contemporary art from international and local artists. The café sells delicious food prepared from local ingredients and is also well worth a visit.
