Some units include sofa beds for additional guests. The hotel offers free Wi-Fi, EV charging points in the guest car park, and a restaurant serving Welsh breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening meals. Located on The Green in Criccieth, the property overlooks mountains, the coast, and Criccieth Castle, with Cardigan Bay visible from certain rooms. Nearby attractions include Greenwood Forest Park, seven golf courses, and Portmeirion village, a 10-minute drive away. The Llewelyn Restaurant serves dishes like Welsh sirloin steak and grilled salmon, with vegetarian and vegan options available.

Pros

The studio apartments include kitchenettes, providing flexibility for self-catering.

The central location allows easy access to Criccieth Castle and Snowdonia National Park.

EV charging points are available for guests with electric vehicles.

The restaurant offers locally sourced Welsh breakfast and traditional evening meals.

Cons

Some apartments accommodate only one or two children, limiting space for larger families.

The restaurant advises advance reservations during peak periods due to high demand.

“The hotel strikes me as a solid choice in Criccieth; rooms are newly refurbished, and the location provides both sea views and proximity to the town's restaurants. I appreciate the inclusion of free parking and the consistently friendly remarks about the staff. Overall, it seems a particularly good value.”
