Quirky, clean, and delightful.

We chose this location because we wanted something different. Preferably haunted. And definitely quirky. It was all of the above, including being very clean and comfortable.

Super Welsh welcome

Great weekend in Caernarfon. Accidentally booked to stay the weekend of the food festival but we got a call to give us advice on parking and arriving super early to beat the crowds which was very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We were in the townhouse round the corner from the pub and the room was lovely, very clean and spacious! The staff were very helpful and welcoming too! Highly recommend!

Features not benefits

All good except the room, which was on the upper floor and had awful headroom throughout - this wasn’t just in one area and caused us to not sleep well thinking about bathroom visits overnight

Great weekend

Great location, fabulous food and friendly staff. Car park very tight for larger family vehicles and room was cold with no heating control staff quickly resolved the matter. Would definitely visit again in this historic inn.

Fantastic Hotel in Caernarfon!!!

This hotel is fantastic!! Built in 1522. It has three pubs and a great restaurant. It is located in the center of the old city. The staff at the hotel and people in Caernarfon were super friendly. We attended a wedding in Snowdonia, and this hotel was our base of operations for three days. We probably won't ever have an opportunity to return, but I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough!! Try the Welch Pie at the restaurant!!
