This is a lovely and very interesting house. But mind your head and feet. There are hazards for tall people and foot hazards for everyone. The house was built by ship builders and many ship building techniques are evident on the second and third floors. I won't give away their secrets, so you'll have to visit to find out.

We arrived at a brilliant time between two school visits! Friendly and helpful staff. Great audio tour with fascinating information which you can undertake at your own speed. There are also extra audio commentaries if you want to have more information in many rooms. We also found out that a disabled person and a companion can join for free!

A wonderful survival of an Elizabethan town house. It’s bigger than it appears from the street. Some of the rooms have beautiful ceilings and mouldings. Stunning. There was an interesting (and gruesome) exhibition on Tudor medicine on when we visited. A must see and in Conwy. Lovely staff too. Bendigedig!

A great place to visit. I don’t think we would have really noticed the house if we weren’t looking for it. We got a joint ticket for here and Conwy Castle. Audio guide was fun and lots to see. Staff were lovely.

The place was very easy to find and beautifully presented. You just have to take care to step over the wooden beams into each room. I really enjoyed the conservation video since this is partly my role where I work. Would definitely come for another look round in future when I have more time. The views were fabulous. Highly recommend!

A must see if you are in Conwy! A beautifully preserved Elizabethan townhouse with a great history that makes for a really interesting visit. I have yet to see anything like it anywhere else. We also had a great chat with one of the volunteers and the front desk staff are lovely. Don’t miss the views of the castle from one of the towers!

I hadn’t planned to visit this site, it didn’t look like much from the outside nor from the entry courtyard by I was tired, and cold and ready to get out of the rain, even if it meant paying another entrance fee. Turned out fee was reduced to about 3.50 GBP when I showed receipt from Conwy Castle admission and this ‘Big Place’ (Plas Mawr) turned out to be a wonderful little gem. First, I was warmly greeted at the entrance, and given an audio guide thingy at no extra charge. Audio guide was quite helpful, even if a touch cheesy at times. I loved that visitors could walk in and among the furnishings and tools and even sit on some of the benchs. That interaction really makes the history of the place really come alive for me and deepens the experience. Highly recommend! Walled gardens are lovely too.

Visited Conwy Castle en route to Llanberis. As we went down High Street we found Plas Mawr and were not disappointed. The ladies on the desk were welcoming and helpful. It is free if you are a member of English Heritage or Cadw. The place is like a maze inside, one more wonderful room after another. Sitting out in the garden at the end was a bonus in the glorious sunshine. Definitely worth a visit if you're going to the castle ( or not ! ) Please, please visit this wonderful gem.

This is one of the best historic places I've ever visited. There weren't attendants lurking in every room waiting to info-dump the unwary visitor and there were enough furnished rooms to really give a sense of how people lived. Attention to detail is top notch and the video about the restoration is well worth watching. There was an audio tour but we stuck with a map and still spent far longer on the visit than expected. Lovely sheltered garden to sit in the sunshine (yes, we had 4 rain free days in May)! and the panoramic views from the tower room are worth the climb up the ladder.

Probably in our top 5 National Trust properties. There was so much to see and it was such an interesting building. There was plenty of information (audio or map/information sheet) and really good guides in various rooms. The garden area was lovely and very interesting too and the climb up to the top of the tower was definitely worth the climb, the views were superb. We were there when it was quiet and might not be so easy when busy but it is certainly not to be missed, if you are visiting Conwy. The staff were also really good - very friendly and very enthusiastic about the building and it's history. There was so much to see, we probably missed details but a further visit is definietely on the cards; quite amazing, especially when you picture it originally and the fact that the horses had an entrance that brought their riders right into the middle of the building. Worth visiting on several levels, literally.
