Welcome to York House situated in the historic medieval town of Conwy. York House in the 19th Century was named Station House. It was the home of the towns police chief who worked in the police station across the street. During the second world war the police station was closed during the war and the house was renamed York House. When the station re-opened at the end of the war the name York House remained. Conwy is a town rich in history, which much of it still preserved within the walls and traditional structures of its buildings. In the heart of it is the mighty 13th-century castle, whose walls encapsulate this remarkable medieval town. Surrounded by lush Welsh countryside and watched over by the mighty mountains of Snowdonia, it’s a most beautiful place to visit. Conwy Quay is host to a number of amenities and is a particularly stunning place to visit during the warm summer months. Whether you’d prefer to sit with a refreshing drink outside of the cosy quayside pub, take an exciting boat tour around the coastal area or hike upon the many surrounding mountains – it’s all possible in the quaint town of Conwy.
