The 10 best super B&Bs

Escape, Llandudno

This is a glamorous getaway in the Victorian town of Llandudno in north Wales, arguably Wales’s prettiest seaside resort. The great outdoors is a big draw; take long, romantic strolls along the promenade, hike the Great Orme limestone headland, ride the Great Orme Tramway for stunning views, or visit nearby Conwy Castle. Llandudno is also a good base for exploring the rugged landscape of Snowdonia National Park.

The owners: Sam and Gaenor Nayer wanted a lifestyle change and converted a Victorian house into this stylish, upmarket B&B.

What makes it so special? This is the place for a romantic getaway. Think long walks on deserted beaches and serious R&R in one of nine rooms, all with TV, DVD and Aveda toiletries. Each has a different theme; the most romantic is The Boudoir, with rococo bedstead and chandelier.

Where to eat: The nearby Seahorse Restaurant & Bistro (01492 875315) serves dishes inspired from around the world, using local produce. Around £20 per head.

Cost: Doubles start at £85 per night. Not suitable for under 10s. Visit www.escapebandb.co.uk; call 01492 877776.
