About the location

The Erskine Arms is a traditional Georgian pub with rooms nestled within the medieval walls of Conwy a stone’s throw from King Edward I’s imposing medieval fortress, Conwy Castle.

The Erskine offers a laid‑back and friendly atmosphere serving fresh and creative local food, great local ales, a glass or two of good quality wine and for those from further afield, quality cosy guest rooms.
