Escape Boutique B&B

Llandudno was already in on the boutique-hotel revolution as early as 2004, when a creative young couple turned this old Victorian house into a high-design bed and breakfast. Today Escape Boutique B&B remains the hippest stay in town, with nine bedrooms designed in nine different eclectic, eye-catching styles. It’s as low-key as you want it to be, though the staff knows the town inside and out and is always handy with a recommendation — the dining room, true to Escape’s B&B roots, is open only in the morning, though the location places you near the heart of the action in Llandudno, including more than a few very fine restaurants and bars.
