Caernarfon (Gwynedd county town) is important to North Wales' history and culture. Its 13th-century castle, well-preserved town walls, and water front are renowned tourist attractions. During the season, there are castle tours and pageants. The Welsh Highland Railway crosses via Beddgelert and Porthmadog. Segontium, a Roman fort and museum, is walkable from the town centre and offers fishing trips. Caernarfon has many shops and restaurants and is close to the Isle of Anglesey, the Lleyn Peninsula, and the mountains and rivers of Snowdonia, notably Llanberis at the foot of Mount Snowdon.

Colin
However, living there proved something else: no instructions on how to operate any facilities, couldn't get some to operate; those that didn't work were not fixed in spite of our raising the issues on our second day after having found them out; other things were plain irritating. In short, the various things that didn't work/couldn't see how to work spoiled the whole show - and non-one helped, at all. Very annoying and frustrating. We were told that many of the things we raised had been raised by others, so why were they not fixed then? Shame, as most could be fixed at little or no cost. So, if you fancy a good-looking and convenient place to stay, go ahead but do not expect to like it that much on closer acquaintance. You have been well warned.

Comfy bed and all I needed for a happy stay with my dog. Had to leave early unfortunately due to urgent business. The caretaker Colin was very kind and helpful. Excellent location. Hope to return in the spring

The bed is too small for two adults. My husband and myself are not big but we struggled. I understand there is limited space because of the recess, but how about moving the bed to the rail wall and putting the rail in the recess. Just a suggestion.
