Criccieth is situated in Cardigan Bay on the south coast of the Llyn Peninsula, where the edge of Snowdonia National Park meets the sea.  Criccieth has two Blue Flag Beaches which are separated by the imposing headland fortress.   The resort is full of Victorian character and awash with floral colour all year round due to its temperate climate.  Numerous restaurants many with dreamy views across Cardigan Bay, make Criccieth the perfect spot for exploring Snowdonia’s mountains and the Llyn Peninsula both designated areas of outstanding natural beauty, and making the most of the fantastic sunsets.

Famed for it’s welcoming atmosphere, care and a genuine desire to offer everything that the visitor requires, the Lion Hotel has 46 en-suite rooms, some within the Castle View Cottages and all with modern facilities.  All are as you would expect from a period building, very different and individual.  They range from antique furnished twin bedded rooms to contemporary suites.  All bedrooms have central heating, flat screen tv’s, tea & coffee making facilities, direct dial telephones and a hairdryer.  Every en-suite has a shower (many also have a bath), WC, hand basin, shaver point and toiletries.  The hotel offers regular live entertainment and quiz nights and the lift in the main building serves all but 3 rooms.

A new destination for Jay & Kay, Caernarfon is an historical city wedged between the gleaming Menai Strait and Snowdonia’s deep purple hills.  Caernarfon’s main claim to fame is its magnificent castle, one of the finest and doughtiest of Edward I’s masterpieces.  Given the town’s crucial historical importance, its proximity to Snowdonia and its reputation as a centre of Welsh culture, it’s a fantastic destination for a wonderful holiday.  It has an air of elegant charm and there’s a tangible sense of history in the streets around the castle, especially Palace Street, Castle Square and Hole in the Wall Street.  Within the cobbled lanes of the old walled town are some fine Georgian buildings, and the recently regenerated waterfront is a great place to relax and grab a bite to eat.

The Celtic Royal is a historical hotel located within walking distance of Caernarfon’s walled town and castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, between Snowdonia’s mountains and the sea.  Formerly known as the Uxbridge Arms Hotel, the name was changed to the Royal Celtic in honour of Queen Victoria, who stayed with her mother in 1832.  This lovely hotel has spacious, comfortable bedrooms of a contemporary theme to contrast this historical style of the building.  A beautiful indoor pool is accompanied by a Jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and air conditioned gym.
