Beautiful place. The interior was lovely and I have lots of memories of the lovely fittings in Hafodunos. It was a tragedy what happened to it.
I remember reading a book by SAVE Britain's Heritage one and of their top 20 buildings in danger in Britain, 3 were in Conwy county (viz. Hafodunos, Gwrych and Kinmel Hall). Considering how small Conwy is in terms of the UK, to have such a high proportion of what they felt were nationally significant and seriously endangered buildings was not much of a recommendation for the council and its policies.
Conwy seems so sclerotic and slow when it comes to trying to get things done. If someone has a scheme to improve things Conwy should do everything in its power to make sure it happens, not frighten away developers with red tape and hand-wringing.
