You couldn’t hope for a more historic location. The Castle stands in the heart of medieval Conwy, snug within the town’s ancient walls and neighbour to some of Wales’s most historically significant buildings, including a mighty 13th-century fortress and Plas Mawr, ‘Britain’s finest Elizabethan town house’. In such surroundings it’s easy to cast your mind back to the days when the Castle was a famous coaching inn. Step inside the striking, red-bricked porch – one of the town’s most photographed features – and you’ll see vestiges of days gone by, when the Castle played host to visitors such as William Wordsworth, Samuel Johnson and Charlotte Brontë. Beams, panelling, old fireplaces, antiques, nooks and crannies and a row of servants’ bells bring real character to the place. But most impressive of all are the paintings of Shakespearean scenes by distinguished Victorian artist John Dawson-Watson, reputedly given in return for his lodgings.
