Staff was extremely professional and wonderfully helpful; quickly reassigned me to another room when an issue arose and helped book me a taxi for my departure. I would certainly return for my ‘third’ visit as its great value for money with ‘first-rate’ customer-service!

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!!

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.
