The Towers is a substantial harbour master's mansion (for a harbour that was never made), and was built by John Platt in 1872. On a grand scale of over 5000 square feet, in a Gothic chateau style, it has recently been refurbished to an excellent standard.
Located yards from the beach, this detached property boasts flexible accommodation including a fine cinema room with a beautiful hand painted domed ceiling, grand dining room with seating for 25 people, Beach room, library and games room. There is also a large farmhouse kitchen with breakfast room, ten bedrooms and family accommodation in the housekeepers cottage. Of particular note is the superb Balinese bedroom with its ornate beamed and Hessian ceiling which like many rooms, including the fantastic lantern tower, benefits from magnificent views across to the Isle of Anglesey and Puffin Island.
The lawned garden has an attractive ornamental pond with a Japanese three-tier fountain surrounded by a 9-hole putting green this gives a large level area for a wedding marquee. The driveway extends to the rear of the property where there is a further garden area, small orchard and parking for 10 vehicles, plus free parking in the promenade car park for wedding guests.
The walled town of Conwy lies close by between Llandudno and Bangor, and with the West Coast train line passing through both towns, London is only 3 hours away. Conwy is home to an elegant castle as well as other buildings of note - such as the 14th-century timber and stone Aberconwy House (NT)
