A bed and breakfast in Llandudno is, at its best, a hotel with the commercial edges sanded off. Most sit within five minutes of the town centre, most are family run, and most will feed you well in the morning and leave you to your own devices for the rest of the day. Miss Mostyn regards this as a perfectly civilised arrangement, provided the owners have been asked the right questions beforehand.
Breakfast, not dinner, is the promise of a bed and breakfast, and Llandudno has restaurants and cafés enough to fill the gap. What you are really buying is a clean room, a friendly welcome, and someone on hand who actually lives in the town and can tell you where to go, which is worth more than any brochure.
What Miss Mostyn Checks Before She Books
Pets
Permitted at some, refused at others. Never assumed, always asked.
Children
A number of B&Bs are adults only. Worth confirming before anyone packs a car seat.
Dietary needs
A family kitchen can usually accommodate more than a hotel’s, but only if you tell them in advance.
Location
Close to the seafront or close to the shops. Rarely both. Decide which matters more to your holiday before you book.
Parking
Spaces are often limited to one per room. If you are travelling with two cars, ask first.
Smoking
Almost universally no, in the rooms and out of them. Assume it and ask if you must.
Bed and breakfasts suit
- Couples and small families wanting a personal welcome
- Visitors who plan to be out and about all day and only need breakfast and a bed
- Anyone who prefers a proprietor who actually knows the town
Look elsewhere if you want
- Evening meals on site, in which case see Hotels
- Your own kitchen and total independence, in which case see Self-Catering
- Grander surroundings, in which case see Country Houses
Miss Mostyn has opinions on every kind of Llandudno stay, not only bed and breakfasts.
