Stella Guest House

The Victorian streets of Llandudno climb away from the curve of the bay, and tucked among them you'll find a quietly welcoming guest house with a camping pod in the garden — an unusual pairing that gives you choice, depending on what sort of escape you're after.

This suits couples wanting a comfortable base for exploring the North Wales coast, or anyone who fancies sleeping under canvas (well, timber and canvas) without giving up a proper roof nearby. The pod's ideal if you want that camping feeling with a bit more shelter, while the guest house rooms offer traditional B&B comfort. Llandudno itself is a handsome seaside town — pier, promenade, Great Orme tramway — with Snowdonia and Conwy Castle a short drive inland.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so it's worth calling ahead to check what's included with your pitch or room. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, and campfires need clearing on arrival — both sensible given the garden setting. Open all year, which is rare for pods and makes it a solid winter retreat when the coast has that bracing, out-of-season charm.
