This is our second stay at the Sunken Treasure. It is in a stunning location, with fabulous views of the Welsh countryside and mountains. The jacuzzi is an added bonus whilst admiring the scenery. Its very peaceful and tranquil and only a five minute car journey into beautiful Conwy. Our hosts always make you feel welcome. We will return!

Beautiful cute little hideaway with everything you need.
Lesley
Sunken Treasure is a lovely, quirky place to stay, cosy and comfortable, and a great view. The hot tub was a treat for us and we found it easy to walk into Conwy for the shops and cafes. It was quiet and very peaceful, and the lambs were delightful to watch! We found lots of things to do within a reasonably short drive, we enjoyed our stay very muc h.
Joanne
Loved the Shepherds hut! It is very well equipped with everything you need. The hot tub is a great addition. Views are amazing and we were lucky with the weather. The walk into Conwy is quite difficult, especially coming back, uphill, and took us about 30 minutes so you'd need to be reasonably fit or you could drive. The games room was being used a laundry room.
Tom
Perfect for a much needed getaway. Great location for some isolation yet so near to local amenities, attractions and restaurants. Hosts are very friendly and accommodating. The Sunken Treasure is cosy, spotless and has everything you will need. The hot tub was the biggest bonus as you will find yourself in there no matter the weather when youre not out on walks, enjoying the beautiful scenery and exploring what Conwy has to offer. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!
Rachel
Lovely location, a very well equipped holiday home. Own kitchen and shower/WC. Great hot tub. Cannot rate this place highly enough.
Maria
We stayed here for two nights, we had a lovely stay on this working farm. The shepherds hut is quirky and small, but perfect for a couple of nights somewhere different.
Katie
Had such a wonderful stay at the sunken treasure! Perfect for a little getaway!
Bethany
We had a lovely stay here. The bed is so so comfortable and the hot tub was amazing and so clean! The location was lovely as well with some nice walks and beaches for us and the dog! Plenty of dog friendly restaurants nearby as well. The only thing we would say to improve on is that it would have been nice to have toilet roll, tea, coffee in the hu t and a dog poo bin outside. Also a few more outside lights for the hot tub. But overall an amazing stay!!
Nichola
Cosy little retreat, perfect for what we wanted, great location for visiting North Wales. Clean and comfy with lovely views from the hot tub, although not as secluded as we thought.

Loved our 4 night stay for our 1st wedding anniversary. So peaceful but so near to local towns. The garden was secure for our dog which really helps as sometimes you find they are not. Loved the hot tub after visiting the area in the day ,and the bed was so comfy ! Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back !
Jacqueline
We thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay here, including Percy our dog. The Shepherd's Hut is ideally situated with beautiful views and the hot tub is a welcoming treat after a long walk. I recommend you invest in an ordinance survey map of the local area to enjoy the many walks through fields and on minor roads. Great hosts and even gave us some eggs . The Groes Inn which is approx 1 1/2 miles away had amazing food and was very dog friendly, you can even walk there across the fields etc.
