HAUS, Colwyn Bay - popular coffee shop in the centre of Colwyn Bay with simple delicious menu. It is quite small so more suited to smaller groups.

Signatures, Aberconwy Holiday Park, - a favourite of locals and holidaymakers for many years, stylish restaurant just off the beach with a wide selection of dishes with locally sourced ingredients. Not a bad cocktail selection either!

ACTIVITIES
Wine Tasting at Gwinllan Conwy (one of the best vineyard tours we have done! We would recommend getting the cheese option)
Zipworld Activities (there are many to choose from at various sites across North Wales, whatever level of adventure you are after)
Train from Llandudno Junction to Betws-y-Coed (scenic train journey where you can enjoy what Betws-y-Coed has to offer including the Alpine Coffee Shop, a walk to Llyn Elsi, a stroll up the river or a browse at the many outdoor shops)
Bodnant Garden, Glan Conwy - one of the most beautiful National Trust gardens in the country. Fantastic day out where you can get lost in the beautifully maintained gardens and woodland. Look out for the Laburnum Arch flowering season, an event that draws keen horticulturists from around the world.
