Living with Host
We have 2 large double rooms available in our 5 bedroom detached Victorian property - a true home from home. Full use of our huge garden, kitchen and living spaces. Enjoy the peace of a safe, quiet residential area while being only a 10 minute drive from Llandudno's Venue Cymru theatre. Decent bus service too, which takes approx 30 mins.
We have 2 generous double rooms: Room 1 is shown in the pics with a blue wall & blinds; Room 2 has a grey wall with mustard colour bedding. There is a bathroom accessed by the landing, which is solely reserved for our theatre guests.
You are welcome to use our family kitchen / living space and we can always make room in the fridge / freezer / cupboards for you.
Our house is occupied by me (Catherine: mum, Air bnb host and vegan chef), and my older son Caeo, 23, who works in the hospitality team at the theatre. We also have Blue (dog) and Lola (cat) who have free range of the house.
Any further questions - please just ask!
Guest Parking
Free unrestricted parking outside our house. If travelling back and forth to the theatre by car, we can advise you about where you're most likely to find free spaces there too.
The Area and Transport
Our house is located on the outskirts of Colwyn Bay, a town approximately 5 miles from Llandudno (home to Venue Cymru, where most tours are based). Because Llandudno is a popular tourist location, our theatre guests can find that our digs are more affordable and peaceful than some of the centrally located options. In terms of transport, the easiest option is to come by car and make the 10 min trip in to the theatre. However it's also completely manageable by bus. It's a short 5 minute walk to the bus stop and there is a regular service which takes you right to the theatre in 25-30 mins. (my son works at the theatre and doesn't drive, so relies solely on the bus service)
If you have the time, our beautiful stretch of sandy beach is less than 15 mins walk away and we have a great variety of cafes, pubs and micro-breweries within easy walking distance. There's a Lidl supermarket a 5 min walk from our house and a large Asda within easy walking distance of the theatre.

2nd time staying with the lovely Catherine and her gorgeous dog Blue. Catherine could not be more friendly or welcoming and accommodating. Nothing is too much trouble for her. I stayed in the other room to last time and it was just as lovely. Great space, desk for working/writing, super comfy bed and big bathroom. I was a little cold in the room, but was provided a heater which was great. Location is fab as only 10 min walk to the beach and about 10 min drive (car is easiest) from Venue Cymru.

Thanks Cinem for your kind review - it was so lovely to meet you and thanks for the chats. Hope to see you again next time you're in our neck of the woods x (Sorry I missed the time window to leave you a review.. 5 stars from me too!)
Had a lovely time staying with Catherine. She has a beautiful home and was incredibly friendly and welcoming! This location was very convenient for Llandudno also with the bus stop being so nearby. A great experience!

Thanks Cate and I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. It was an absolute pleasure to host you - hope we'll see you again next time you're in town x
Fabulous place to stay! Don’t be put off by the short, reliable bus service that takes you straight to the theatre! Thanks Catherine and co. :-)

Catherines house is a lovely place to stay. Big, light filled comfy bedroom and own bathroom. I will hopefully be back! Thanks Catherine!

My second visit and still just as great!! Thanks Catherine. 100% recommended.
5th May 2025
Thanks so much Mike - great to have you stay with us again! Blue and Lola are missing you..
I stayed with Catherine whilst working on the Venue Cymru panto and she was a great host to stay with! She and her family were most welcoming and accommodating. Her pets are also super friendly. The room was lovely and the location was really handy, as there were really regular buses to Llandudno. I would gladly stay with Catherine again if I find myself back in the area in the future!

Beautiful house in excellent location for Rhyl. Yes a 20 minute drive but easy to get to. Made to feel very welcome. Lovely large comfortable room and really comfy bed. Catherine was charming and welcoming and would definitely ask to stay again if in North Wales.. Thank you. Oh and plenty of free parking
7th Sep 2024
I had a wonderful stay with Catherine. She is extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious, clean, and the beds very comfy. There was plenty of parking on the street outside too. I will definitely book again in the future!

Catherine's home was lovely. I had very large room with a comfy bed. Shared bathroom very easy electric shower to use. Kitchen and living space was available to me which was convenient. The two animals Lola the cat and bluey the dog were very friendly. Bluey did bark whilst I was sleeping but this was only due to Catherine not being there for a few days. Car parking is free on the street which was very convenient. 12 minute drive to Venue Cymru. Lidl was a 10 minute walk away.
22nd Aug 2024
Lovely stay (and chats) with Catherine. Bus route very accessible if you don’t drive. Guest bathroom is a real bonus and has a good shower. Very friendly dog and cat. Would stay again in a heartbeat. And if you’re a gym goer like me then Ignite Gym by the theatre has everything you need for £15 a week.
21st Aug 2024
Had a really lovely stay at Catherine’s! Nice big bright room, friendly and welcoming host, and a very easy drive to the theatre each day. The very sweet cat and dog were a nice bonus too! Definitely recommend staying here while working at Venue Cymru if you drive.
7th Aug 2024
Really love house, very friendly and welcoming in a lovely area. Getting to Llandudno is easy via bus and doesn’t take too long at all. Blue and Lola are wonderful, Blue is a very good boy indeed and Lola loves her head scratches. I had a wonderful time, and would absolutely recommend
8th Jul 2024
Wonderful hosts and a beautiful home - would recommend to everyone - particularly if you have a car as the drive is quicker than the bus. :)
26th May 2024
Catherine’s place is very much a lived in and love home and you can feel that from the warmth and friendliness from both her and her son from the moment you arrive. The room I had was great and the bed comfy, the bathroom had everything a bathroom should. Their pets Blue (the dog) and Lola (the cat) were also both very friendly and will absolutely come and say hello if you leave you door open, which personally I love, an easy drive into Llanduno for work. I would definitely stay here again.
24th May 2024
Great space, large room, lots of parking, friendly host and friendly pets! House is large, and the kitchen is large but cluttered. 12 min drive to the theatre with free parking around the theatre!
Ideal digs for price and for space. And if you like dogs and cats it’s a win win!
25th Mar 2024
Had a lovely stay with a friendly family and pets. Clean room and bathroom (only shared if the other room gets booked too). Plenty of parking and short drive to Venue Cymru with heaps of free parking there too.
7th Jun 2023

11th May 2023
Fabulous digs, lovely people and a super cute dog! Definitely need a car but just a short 10 min drive to the theatre with easy parking.
24th Mar 2023
Such a lovely room. Lovely lady, lovely pets. Only a 10 min drive to Llandudno theatre. Beautiful drive. I was very happy and parking was never an issue. Thank you Catherine x

A perfect stay and a perfect host!! Catherine couldn't have been more welcoming, kind and friendly. Huge bedroom with private bathroom immediately next door. Parking (with no restrictions) was never a problem. 100% recommended.
1st Aug 2022
Catherine was an absolutely amazing host, very kind and considerate, and the drive in to Venue Cymru wasn't bad at all even with it being bank holiday and school holidays!
6th Jun 2022
Catherine is a saint, she goes above and beyond to provide a great service. It was a home from home for me, she made me feel highly welcome. The room is huge and you also have your own bathroom 😊. I highly recommend Catherine's place. X
30th Sep 2019
I had a very pleasant stay in a wonderful large room. Catherine is very welcoming and can’t do enough to make you feel at home. I cycled to Llandudno which is a beautiful ride with only one nasty hill. If I can cycle it anybody can!
19th May 2019
Great digs if you have a car, Catherine was absolutely lovely and the room is huge, clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again! 👍🏻
