Criccieth looked very good
Pros:

Location and view from room.
Dinner
Staff were friendly and efficient

Cons:

Full Welsh breakfast was good. However the avocado, eggs and toast was disappointing because of the mean amount of avocado and only one piece of toast. Huge contrast between the two breakfasts.

Pillows were in urgent need of replacement, very uncomfortable.

The best hotel in Criccieth and local area by far!
Pros:

What a fantastic experience …Again- the service is top notch, the staff led by Laura are articulate and are always attentive. Francis & Michael are the consummate hosts and run a lovely hotel- the best in our opinion but we have only being coming here for 23 years so we could be wrong! You won’t be disappointed, we never are.

Staycation in Criccieth
Pros:

As always the hotel was excellent as were the staff with some familiar faces from years ago. The food was excellent and we were joined by family members as non residents who enjoyed the food last time also. The location overlooking the beach and Criccieth castle is stunning. We paid extra this visit for a superior room with a lovely bay window overlooking the castle which I can recommend.

The room was modern with a lovely powerful shower. There are no accessible rooms so not suitable for some guests who require those facilities.

Criccieth is a small quieter holiday town but has beautiful beaches and excellent scenic walks. Plenty of small local shop

Pros:

Our room was very modern, had everything we needed and the bed was comfortable. The staff were absolutely lovely, breakfast was very good. The website mentions parking so bare that in mind - the road to the hotel is very narrow but does have free parking if needed. We were on the top floor with a side view of the castle, beach and the railway line which was perfect for us. We loved the lift.

Cons:

Nothing - very good all round!

Ticks all the boxes!
Pros:

Our third visit to this lovely hotel. As usual our room was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The view from the large bay window is stunning, we love to just sit and look! Large comfy bed, plenty of storage, well appointed bathroom with great power shower. Breakfast is excellent, plenty of choice and freshly cooked.

The staff are so friendly and helpful, always happy to chat.

Before we left after our long weekend we booked for another visit - can't wait to return.

Wonderful birthday stay by the sea
Pros:

Stayed for two nights for my Wife’s birthday and the hotel was wonderful. Fabulous location - we had a room overlooking the sea and the castle - and excellent service throughout our stay. We had a meal in the restaurant and the food was great. We will definitely be going back to the Caerwylan!
