The house onthe horizon.
Plas Gorwelion — Welsh for the big house on the horizon — stands on Llandudno's quiet West Shore. Sixteen old bedrooms have been rebuilt as seven king suites, each with space to sit back and watch the sun go down over the Conwy estuary.

Why stay with us
Made for slow evenings
A grown-up house on the sunset side of Llandudno — no children, no fuss, just room to breathe:
01
Suites, not bedrooms
Sixteen bedrooms were reworked into seven king suites, each with its own lounge seating area and generous storage. Space is the luxury here.
02
The sunset side of town
West Shore faces the Conwy estuary, Snowdon, Anglesey and Puffin Island. The front garden and terrace are positioned for the evening light.
03
Room-only, your way
Every suite has a tea & snack corner — fridge, kettle and microwave — with cereals, milk and juice to start you off. Eat when it suits you.
04
Rod & Sue's house
Family-run and thoroughly renovated — new plumbing, boilers, bathrooms and electrics. Their promise: arrive as guests, leave as friends.

The suites
Seven king suites, each one different
Every suite is individually styled, with a king bed, a seating area and an enlarged en-suite with a low-level shower. Front suites face the sea; rear suites face the Great Orme.
Sea-view king suite
A front suite with the estuary filling the bay window — and a chaise longue placed to make the most of it. Binoculars are provided; fans keep the sunny rooms cool.
Each suite carries its own lounge corner — armchairs, a coffee table and space to read, plan the day or simply watch the tide. A room you can live in, not just sleep in.
The bathrooms were enlarged and rebuilt to a high standard, with larger low-level showers and heated towel rails. Complimentary toiletries are included.
Suites are room-only — no cooked breakfast, but every suite has facilities for drinks and simple snacks, and Llandudno's cafés are a short walk away.

The house
A Victorian house, thoroughly renewed
Rod & Sue Forrestill bought a tired sixteen-bedroom guest house and rebuilt it from the pipes up — keeping the white Victorian frontage and the welcome, renewing everything behind it.
Seven king suites, each individually designed
Front garden & terrace for the sunset
Street parking right outside the house
Hairdryer, ironing facilities and a safe in every suite
West Parade is the peaceful side of town — the beach is two minutes from the door, the Great Orme rises behind the house, and the bus terminus is on the doorstep for days out across North Wales.
West Shore beach — 2 min walk
Great Orme — walks from the door
Llandudno Pier & North Shore — a short stroll
