About this property

Luxury house with amazing panoramic views, 5 min from coast, private pool

Awarded “UK Holiday Home of the Year” in 2022, welcome to Cedar Lodge. Nestled within large, enclosed grounds of approximately 1 acre, Cedar Lodge offers a peaceful, private country retreat. Conveniently located just 2 miles from the A55 and the coast, it provides easy access to the seaside towns of Colwyn Bay, Llandudno, and Conwy, making it an ideal base for exploring North Wales. Set in a delightful, elevated position, this luxury detached property is designed to take full advantage of uninterrupted views across open countryside to the Carneddau mountain range (part of Snowdonia), extending to the coast, with Puffin Island and the Isle of Anglesey taking centre stage. The glorious views also include both the Great Orme and Little Orme in Llandudno. Situated at the end of a quiet private cul-de-sac, yet only a 10-minute walk (half a mile) from the nearest pub and convenience store, and less than 2 miles from the beach, Cedar Lodge is the perfect location for your family getaway. There is plenty to do all year round, and in the warmer months, you can enjoy the private heated outdoor swimming pool.

Cedar Lodge is perfectly suited either as a base at the heart of the North Wales holiday region or as a secluded getaway where you can enjoy top-notch facilities while maintaining complete privacy. From every room, you can enjoy breath-taking views that let you escape from it all.

Accommodating up to 12 guests, Cedar Lodge is a popular choice for families and friends gathering for summer holidays or short breaks. It’s an excellent venue for special occasions and is ideal for multi-generational gatherings, with plenty to entertain visitors of all ages. Guests can enjoy the state-of-the-art cinema room, featuring an 86-inch screen, cinema-quality surround sound, and fully reclining cinema chairs for watching Netflix in full 4K resolution. Children will love the Xbox One X games console, while guests of all ages can enjoy the pool table, large, enclosed gardens, and private heated outdoor swimming pool.

The outdoor heated pool with integrated spa pool (available from 1st May to the end of September) is a standout feature. Completely private and offering stunning views, the pool is a major attraction for all ages. It’s perfect for games and relaxation, especially for children, and has powerful swim jets for those who want to “swim against the current.” The pool area includes comfortable loungers, a large double hammock, and a Polynesian-themed Tiki Bar, ideal for preparing poolside cocktails.

The property features 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (one en-suite), 2 cloakrooms with WC, a large, well-equipped kitchen, a dining room that comfortably seats 12, a spacious living room, and a beautiful conservatory with panoramic views. There is private parking for up to 5 vehicles, large lawns, patios, and a vast decked balcony with stunning views. All bedrooms offer magnificent countryside and distant sea views. The master bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, a spacious marble-floored dressing room, and a double-sized bath with a large integrated bathroom TV, complete with Netflix.

Bedroom layout:
• Bedroom 1: Zip & link beds (king or two singles)
• Bedroom 2: Double bed
• Bedroom 3: Double bed
• Bedroom 4: King bed
• Bedroom 5 (lower ground floor): Zip & link beds (1 super-king plus 2 singles, or 4 separate singles). A cot is also available.

The living room, with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views, is furnished with large, comfy sofas, a log burner, and soft lighting via table lamps and a dimmer switch. It includes a large TV with Sky TV and Netflix. Double doors lead to the dining room, which seats 12 and opens onto a massive two-tiered balcony. Outdoor dining and lounge seating are available for the entire household, along with a large gas barbecue for al fresco dining. A highchair is also available.

A stunning conservatory leads off the living room, overlooking the pool and offering superb country and coastal views. It also connects to the large balcony and serves as a peaceful retreat with comfy sofas.

The large kitchen boasts bespoke handmade ivory-painted wood units, granite countertops, a Belfast sink, a range cooker, a tall integrated fridge, a dishwasher, and a microwave. It includes country-style seating for six and offers panoramic sea and countryside views. You can also watch your favourite TV programs on Sky or Netflix while preparing food or having breakfast.

A separate large utility room provides a family washing machine, tumble dryer, ironing board, and iron, along with a sink and cleaning supply storage. A rear door leads to an enclosed patio, gardens, and a washing line.

The attached double garage is accessible from the main house and includes a full-height freezer. It also serves as a large games room with a full-sized table tennis table, table football, and darts.

Fast Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, allowing you to stream movies or work remotely if needed.

Locally, there’s plenty to do, including countryside walks from the house and visits to the nearby Welsh Mountain Zoo. A short drive brings you to beautiful beaches, castles, National Trust properties, gardens, outdoor adventure activities, fishing, sailing, golf, and more. For dining, we highly recommend Bryn Williams' restaurant at Porth Eirias and the Pen-y-Bryn gastro pub, both just a short distance from the house.

If you’re seeking a peaceful retreat that still offers a fantastic holiday experience, Cedar Lodge has everything you need. The house is:
• Completely self-contained, with gated parking for up to 5 vehicles, located at the end of a private drive with no passing cars or pedestrians.
• Equipped with extensive entertainment facilities: a private heated swimming pool with adjoining Tiki Bar, a large secure garden, a cinema room, Xbox, pool table, table tennis, table football, and darts.
• Spacious enough for guests to spread out, with a large patio, expansive balconies, separate living and dining rooms, a conservatory, and large lawns for safe play.
• Fully equipped for self-catering, with a large kitchen, indoor dining for up to 12, and outdoor dining on the balcony, with a gas barbecue and comfortable lounge seating.

Please note:
• We do not accept stag or hen parties. Cedar Lodge is ideal for extended family groups but is not suitable for large groups of singles. Parties are not permitted.
• The property is located in a quiet residential area, and we ask that guests respect our neighbours by avoiding excessive noise. The limit of 12 guests at any time is strictly enforced.
• The accommodation spans three floors with several stairs, so it is not suitable for wheelchair users or guests with mobility issues.
• Motion-sensitive security cameras cover the driveway, front and back doors, side passage, and rear patio. These are not activated during guest stays. Noise-monitoring devices (which measure sound levels only) are installed on the first floor, lower ground floor, and rear patio.

Cleaning/Towels/Linen: Fluffy towels and quality linens are included. Cleaning is provided at changeover only.

Please feel free to get in touch with any questions or book directly through this website.

Please Note: The outdoor heated swimming pool is available from 1st May to the end of September, and heating is included in the rental price. Pool heating in April or October can be arranged for an additional fee. Please inquire for details.

We had a great time staying here and the house was perfect for what we were looking for. The games/cinema room was such an added bonus for the evenings, which the kids and adults loved. Robin and Lorraine were brilliant hosts, from the moment of booking and right throughout our stay. Very quick to come back to any query and extremely helpful.

The Pool and Cinema room made it!
Within our family party we had four children, 9-17, who had a great time in the pool (nice and warm!) and who all loved the cinema room to play video games, etc. I think those of us who used the kitchen most found it a bit odd not to have a freezer handy (it’s in the games room), and not to have a decent rubbish bin, apart from a small bin in a cupboard, especially as the house sleeps so many. The house does seem in need of a bit of TLC in some areas. Overall we had a very enjoyable holiday, the area is so close to historic houses, castles and beautiful gardens. Angelsey is within easy reach, too.

A perfect home for all ages
We recently enjoyed a fantastic week at Cedar Lodge. The home has so much to offer and enjoy for family of all ages, with space to spread out and come together. The decor is stylish and comfortable and we particularly enjoyed the tech and connectivity of sky, Alexa and of course the cinema room. The pool is a great benefit, we even managed a dip in fairly chilly weather. The welcome gift was the best we have had in a holiday home stay and communication with Robin and Lorraine was great. Many thanks for the stay, we would love to return one day.

Lovely place for an extended family holiday
We were 4 adults and 4 children. The house is really lovely. Plenty of space to get away from each other. The kids loved the pool along with the cinema room and pool table. I cannot fault it at all. The owners were lovely and responded quickly. My only minor gripe is that the driveway at one point is shared and quite narrow. Big enough but the bushes on one side play havoc with your paintwork. Small point but important. I imagine that the bushes on one side belong to someone else but could be cut back. It did not spoil our overall opinion though so don’t be put off.

Wonderful house and grounds! Ideal for a large family gathering.
This is an amazing house, set in a convenient location yet with stunning rural and sea views. We were unfortunate with the weather as our trip coincided with the tail end of Hurricane Irma reaching Wales, so our hope of sea kayaking had to be abandoned. Some of us did still manage to go in the heated outdoor pool each day though! The house itself was well heated in the storm and the games room provided a range of activities for the various family members. We could have done with an extra shower room, but at least there are plenty loos for the house at full capacity. The master bedroom is wonderfully extravagant and its en suite dressing room was ideal for a cot. We would recommend the nearby pub, Pen-y-Bryn, which was both toddler and dog friendly, with great food and good service. When the weather was dry, some of us drove to nearby Colwyn Bay and easily found free parking whilst others walked through the woods to meet us there. We would definitely return as there was still so much to explore in the area at the end of our 3 night stay and the house provided an ideal base for this.

A magical week at Cedar Lodge
We booked a week at Cedar Lodge to celebrate my birthday and my daughters 21st. After making the booking the owners changed to Robin and Lorraine who have totally refurbished the house. They honoured our original booking and have been so accommodating. We were so fortunate to be the first guests since Wales’ lockdown was eased and the transformation of the house is quite amazing. The finish of the new decor, furniture and fittings is exceptional and very comfortable. All the bed linen and towels are of really high quality. The views from every window are breathtaking and the sunsets are stunning. The pool with jets and spa area is a fantastic place to relax and get a bit of exercise and the tiki bar and hammock are a great and give a real ‘holiday’ feel. The games room is great for a bit of competitive table tennis tennis or darts and then down to the Cinema room for a movie in the recliner chairs and a spot of pool. A game of Extreme UNO in the puffin room is also a must! The house is also in a great location to explore North Wales and a trip to Llandudno, Great Orme, Conwy and Beaumaris are musts and so easy to get to. We could not have asked for more and had a truly fantastic week thank you so much Robin and Lorraine.

Fabulous stay
We had a wonderful time at Cedar Lodge. The photos don’t do it justice - all of the rooms are beautifully decorated and the house contains everything you need for a large group. We were very lucky with the weather but the pool was so warm that we could have swum every day even if it had rained! Our group (aged 4 to 75) also particularly like the cinema room the puffin conservatory (with its twinkling fairy lights) and the outside decking area. Communication with the owners (Robin and Lorraine) was great before and during our stay and they were very helpful when we couldn’t get the key safe to work. Would definitely recommend this property.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! When looking to purchase the property we found nothing quite as well situated--it has fabulous rural views yet is still accessible to all modern comforts and is less than 2 miles from the beach, supermarkets, and the railway station. In one direction you can easily walk to the local pub and shop, and in the other there is absolutely nothing but beautiful views of fields, mountains, and the sea. The Colwyn Bay / Llandudno / Conwy area offers a vast array of activities that cater for all tastes and ages. It is also very accessible by car or train, making it an ideal holiday or short break destination. The previous owners, who built the property in the mid-1990s, had established a highly successful holiday letting activity and before we purchased the house, we too stayed there as guests. We can therefore genuinely say that we liked it so much, we bought it ourselves!

What makes this property unique

The views from all rooms in the property are quite simply outstanding, with the elevated setting providing panoramic uninterrupted countryside and distant sea views. The location is perfect for relaxation, being at the end of a private road--the only noise you might hear is the gentle sound of sheep bleating in the fields at the end of the garden, or the distant sound of sea lions at feeding time in the Welsh Mountain Zoo half a mile away . In the evening you can enjoy incredible sunsets, watching the sun go down over the sea while sitting on the terrace or huge balcony, with views of Puffin Island and Anglesey in the distance, as well as the Great Orme and Little Orme. In Summer you can relax by the heated swimming pool. The house is large, with plenty of room to let guests have their own space or for them all to congregate together. The dining room allows up to 12 people to eat together while enjoying glorious countryside views.
