Long Description:
This House is believed to be the oldest surviving Merchant's Town House in Wales. It was built during the 14th Century and has survived almost intact whilst the Town around it has changed. During its lifetime the house has had many functions, it has been a Home, a Temperance House and a Hotel. After a period of disuse the House was passed into the guardianship of the National Trust in 1934.

There are three main rooms viewable by the visitor, which each represent a different period in its history. These are a Bedroom, the main Hall and the Kitchen. There is also a fourth room where a 10min video can be watched about the history of the House (and Conwy).

The Street level rooms of the House are the location of the NT Shop.

Cameras cannot be used within the House.
