Small place so it is over quickly, but very helpful guides with lots of interesting facts about the house and the town too. Creaky and wonky, really old with a great story. Great to pass through!

Great little place to visit if you're already in Conwy. There's not a huge amount to see so I wouldn't make a special trip, but the house is very characterful and the staff we met were amazing.

Interesting old merchants house. Reasonable prices ticket if you aren't in the National Trust

Pretty interesting old house. It is very small but a no brainer if you’re a member of the national trust which we are. I can’t comment on the value of you have to pay. They had an activity for the kids and there were volunteers in almost every room ready to tell you about the place.

Fabulous and small National Trust property, well worth the visit. Remember to pop and see the toll house too, a family of 6 once lived in the tiny miniature castle right by the suspension bridge.

A medieval town house steeped in history and full of atmosphere. The rooms are dark and the wooden floors are visibly sloping on the timber-framed upper storey. You need to be aware of low wooden beams and raised thresholds. Each room has furniture and artefacts from a different period of history. I found the kitchen with its curious hanging bread crate particularly fascinating. The guides were welcoming, enthusiastic and a mine of information and the printed info gave me an insight into the lives of the people who lived here in past centuries. The ground floor shop has some beautiful gifts/souvenirs and good books. Well worth a visit!

This is a very interesting historic building with lots of potential for visitors. The room guide on the middle floor was charming and provided some good insights into the history. Her efforts were the real highlight, though, in a National Trust site that feels a bit neglected and could do a lot more with a bit more resource. There is very little information within the historic rooms, so there's little to keep you here, and no audio guide. Conpared with Plas Mawr (a bigger building, granted, but also shown off to its full potential), this seems a bit under-resourced. Some investment in research into the property, an audio guide and more coherent way of showing the rooms could make this really special. There's a really good shop in the basement which seemed the most popular area on our visit!

Plenty of history within these four walls. Small fee to visit the house less than £5 but worth it as it's part of national trust and CADW. If you visit it is worth adding in the toll house fee and visiting the toll house at the end of the conwy suspension bridge.
