The Pearl of Wales on the shores of SnowdoniaCriccieth lies on the south side of the Llyn Peninsula with splendid views over Cardigan Bay. It is home to a medieval castle built by the Welsh in the mid-thirteenth century but later taken by Edward I who incorporated it into his ring of castles designed to maintain Norman control. It was captured by Owain Glyndwr in the uprising of 1404 and the scorch marks from that battle can still be seen!

The Caerwylan is a friendly privately owned 3 star hotel situated in a unique location on the East shore of Criccieth’s Esplanade. The hotel is a landmark Victorian building which faces south with stunning views over the main beach Cardigan Bay and towards the ruins of Criccieth Castle. The hotel probably enjoys some of the best seaside views in North Wales. The Caerwylan is an ideal base to explore Criccieth the beautiful beaches of the Lleyn Peninsula Snowdonia and the many famous steam railways castles and golf courses of North Wales. With a southern aspect the two beaches are a mixture of sand and pebble with outcrops exposing rock pools at low tide. A gentle stroll takes you to all the town amenities. We bought the hotel at the end of 2007 and since then we have rebuilt all of the Bedrooms to a high standard. We now have 24 comfortable contemporary en-suite bedrooms. Each bedroom has been individually designed and many of the bedrooms have lovely sea views. There is one family bedroom (Room 21). Apart from Room 21 please note it is not our policy to have 2 adults and a babychild in any of our double bedrooms. One adult and a babychild in a double room is fine. From the lift to Room 21 there are approximately 11 stairs. During the winter of 201011 we rebuilt most of the ground floor of the hotel including a new relaxing sea facing lounge a contemporary bar with cask beer and new toilets including a disabled toilet.
