Mountain View, 1 Oakwood Park Mews, Sychnant Pass, Llandudno, Conwy, LL32 8HL

We love renting holiday homes, and the pictures usually give a reasonably good impression of what?s in store. Mountain View looked very nice online, but when we arrived we were simply amazed at the views, both inside and outside the house. The architecture and the decorating is modern and stylish, but it is also cleverly practical: not once during the week did we wish for something that wasn?t there. It (whatever it was!) was easy: look in the logical place and voilà: there it is. The kitchen equipment is particularly well-chosen and complete, as well as being logically arranged. Whoever kitted this house out really knows what they are doing, both from a practical and from an aesthetic perspective. I?m rather fussy and choosy, but Mountain View was a turn-key home for us.

Of course, there was the usual and requisite ?manual? of how-tos for working the heat, the locks, the appliances and such. But what we really liked were the reminders which were strategically placed in the house. Rather than a printed notice, the host has left friendly, handwritten cards which give the impression of a good friend leaving you a note. Delightful, like everything else about Mountain View!

On a more practical level, the plumbing, the showers, and the high-spec appliances work well and without surprises. The beds are comfortable because the mattresses are good and because the sheets and duvet covers are pure cotton: OK, they wrinkle, but what a difference cotton makes to sleep quality! There was also a good, and well-appreciated, supply of towels and kitchen linens. And then there were the things that make a house a home, like a bookshelf with good and useful books as well as a selection games and puzzles. And if the weather is fine, just go to the shed at the bottom of the garden and pull out your sun lounger. But resist the strong temptation to stay home and enjoy the house and the views of the delightful garden with the Welsh mountain backdrop: there is so much to do in and around Conwy! Whatever your wish -- sports, walking, historic sites, pub visits ? it?s all nearby and it?s all wonderful.

For us, being at Mountain View was like discovering a home that we didn?t know we had. Of all the holiday lets we?ve had over the years, this has been the very best. I?d be hard pressed to make suggestions for improvement. We?ve already made up our mind: we?ll be back!

Spent 2 weeks here in May. The house was everything we could have asked for - more completely equipped than any other rental we have stayed in. The location is perfect - out in the country yet only a reasonable walk into town. It was great to have the use of a washer and dryer plus the dishwasher was a bonus. The owners seem to have thought of everything that a family might need. We will definitely return and would recommend it to everyone

Stayed here for a week, cottage was lovelly plenty of room and views were fantastic, it really was home from home will definatly return .

My wife and I are if I'm being honest, quite fussy when we are looking for holiday accommodation. We go on quite a few holidays each year, and on each occasion it just has to be as 'perfect' for us as it can be. And this place is really one of the best we've stayed in.

The place itself is absolutely stunning, loads of space and an open plan kitchen/diner with fully opening patio doors which I would imagine would be a real treat on a warm summers evening, oh and so would the spacious outside seating area on the 1st floor that overlooks the fields and hills.
