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. Our restaurant is open to residents and non residents for dinner seven days a week from 6pm to 9pm. The Head Chef uses good, local suppliers as much as possible and the varied menu changes daily. We are also open for Sunday Lunch from noon until 3pm. Morning coffee and afternoon tea is served in the new sea facing lounge and during the summer months in our garden. Facilities at the Hotel include:- Lift to all floors (from the lift to the bedrooms generally 6 stairs); - A new spacious lounge with superb views;- New south facing bar with a wide selection of beers, lagers, wines and spirits; - South facing garden on the west side of the hotel with deckchairs and sun loungers;- Private garages @ £1.50 per night (subject to availability). - Guest PC and WIFI on the ground floor (both free);Nick and Fiona look forward to welcoming you to the Caerwylan in 2011.
