About The Caerywlan

The Caerwylan is a friendly and privately owned hotel. We are proudly a Visit Wales accredited 4-star hotel since 2019 and a recipient of a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence every year since 2012 – 12 years running! Located in a unique spot on the East shore of Criccieth’s Esplanade, we offer an exceptional stay with a touch of North Welsh charm.
Our hotel is a landmark Victorian building with a south-facing position that provides stunning views over the main beach, Tremadog Bay, and Criccieth Castle ruins—giving you some of the best seaside views in North Wales.
But don’t let the Victorian façade fool you. Inside, we embrace a contemporary and relaxed atmosphere.

Our 24 individually designed, modern en-suite bedrooms offer the perfect blend of comfort and style. Many rooms also feature lovely sea views to make your stay even more memorable.

An Ideal Base for Your North Wales Adventure
The Caerwylan is the perfect base for exploring Criccieth, the stunning beaches of the Llŷn Peninsula, Snowdonia, and the many famous steam railways, castles, and golf courses of North Wales. Criccieth benefits from the mild climate brought by the warm Gulf Stream that sweeps across the Atlantic from the Caribbean, making it a wonderful destination year-round.
With a southern-facing aspect, Criccieth boasts two beautiful beaches made up of sand and pebbles, with rock pools to explore at low tide. The bay is regularly visited by porpoises, and swimmers can enjoy the mild waters throughout the year. A short stroll will take you to all the town’s amenities, adding to the convenience of your stay.
