Hotels in Caernarfon
Famed for its imposing castle, commanding views and vibrant local culture, the royal town of Caernarfon has long been a cornerstone of Welsh history and heritage. With the Menai Strait on one side and the staggering expanse of Snowdonia on the other, it's not just the town itself that's worth exploration, but also the awe-inspiring environs that encompass it.
Whether you’re seeking a luxury hotel with breath-taking sea views, a cosy B&B for a countryside retreat, or an affordable inn nestled amidst the medieval town walls, there's something for every discerning traveller in Caernarfon. Take the plunge and discover your ideal Welsh getaway with Lycafly today.
Our Top Hotels
A place with an extensive historical imprint, Caernarfon owes much of its significance to the commanding presence of Caernarfon Castle, a 13th-century stone behemoth which stands sentinel over the town. Crafted by the English during the reign of Edward I, this esteemed World Heritage Site now houses a museum to the Royal Welch Fusiliers, retracing centuries of Welsh military history.
The town itself, dramatically encircled by medieval walls and towers, exudes an atmosphere replete with age-old legacies. From the remnants of a Roman fort, Segontium, to the modern-day headquarters of Gwynedd Council, Caernarfon gracefully balances echoes from the past with the vibrant pulse of the present. With a bustling harbour, a wealth of shops and restaurants, and an active Welsh-speaking community, it is a hub of regional culture and a must for those keen on the authentic Celtic experience.
When to visit Caernarfon
The charm of Caernarfon is not confined to any particular season, as it can be wholeheartedly savoured all year round. For family outings, you might elect to visit during the temperate sweep of spring (late March to June) or the colourful touch of autumn (September to October). Those who've packed their hiking boots will enjoy the warmth and relative dry spell that embraces the town from June to October, perfect for al fresco lunches and meandering strolls.
Beach-goers and campers might want to reserve their trip for the balmiest months of June through September. However, to sidestep heavier footfall while still basking in pleasant weather, consider scheduling your holiday in the shoulder seasons of April-May or September-October, during which this Welsh gem is equally resplendent.
