'I visited a beautiful seaside town after reading tourists' complaints'
The smallest house in Great Britain is considered a national treasure and a must-visit for anyone in the area - but that didn't stop tourists from complaining about it.
Tucked away in a row of cottages on the quayside of a beautiful seaside town with a castle, you'll find the smallest house in Great Britain.
This unique property in Conwy, North Wales, measures a mere 122 inches tall and 72 inches wide, with only 1.5m squared of usable floor space. Known for its diminutive size, this attraction is considered a must-see attraction for many visitors to the Welsh market town.
It certainly was for Paul McCauley, when he made the trip to Conwy with Busy Bus, as part of the company’s North Wales Adventure Tour. Unsure of what to expect, he joined the queue and paid the £1.50 entry price.
The atmosphere inside is special, and while there isn't much to see - literally - it's worth adding this unique piece of history to your must-visit list if you're in Conwy, reported Paul McAuley for the Liverpool Echo.
The quirky red house may be tiny, but it's incredibly practical. It has enough space for a single bed, a fireplace, and a coal bunker.
However, you really need to see it for yourself, as photos are rarely taken inside.
Constructed in the 16th century, this tiny dwelling was home until the late 20th century. The last resident, a towering 6ft 3in fisherman named Robert James, found it challenging to stand upright in his own abode and eventually had to vacate when the council deemed the property unsuitable for living.
It's quite astonishing to think that this compact residence was inhabited - at times housing a family of six. It truly provides a window into the everyday lives of people from bygone eras.
Paul said he could overlook the cramped quarters for the chance to soak in the stunning views over Conwy Quay every day. But not everyone is enamoured with his perspective.
In preparation for his visit, he did what any self-respecting tourist would do - he Googled.
The search results left him perplexed; there were numerous complaints about Britain's smallest house being "too small".
One disgruntled visitor labelled it "just a shed", while another bemoaned the absence of a kitchen or bathroom. One particularly dissatisfied individual gave it a one-star review because they couldn't "spend more than half an hour there".
Remarkably, someone else expressed disappointment upon discovering "a very small house", and yet another visitor described it as "a small extension".
