Colwyn Bay /Abergele

[GemmaTeller]

Tell me the good things about living there and the best areas, its on our short list of places to move to

I'd suggest Upper Colwyn Bay or Abergele. My family is all from there, I lived in the Bay itself and it's gone downhill, then outlaying villages (where we are now)
Deganwy, Llandudno, Llandudno Junction, Rhos on Sea are all nice and nearby too.

Thank you.

I did see one in Abergele that ticked all the boxes but will look more into the other areas you mentioned

We holidayed in Colwyn Bay a few years ago and it seemed rather run down, and there weren't many nice places to eat in. I think the Wetherspoons pub was the best of the bunch. When we visited Llandudno on one of the days we wished we had stayed there instead.

Can recommend Llandudno. Like any other town there are some rundown areas and some expensive areas, but on the whole there is a good range of housing. Fresh air, sea, mountains, prom, pier, theatre, cafes, restaurants, rail station, good transport links to Chester/Liverpool/Manchester and so on.
No, I don't work for their tourist office!

What area are you looking at, there are good and bad neighborhoods in all these places. When we were looking last year, there were a lot I didn't even view as I knew the street/area well enough not to waste my time viewing, even when the pictures looked great.

We are quite flexible in area as we want to rent before we buy to make sure we pick the right area.

We need detached and hopefully non estate location.

Squinkie can you pm me general areas that are a def no, please, Conwy, Llandudno and Abergele

Thanks Squinkie thats really appreciated.
