    Location excellent inside the castle walls, stones throw from sea! Accommodation more for young backpackers, although the shared toilet & showers we're very clean👍 Unfortunately tv had no signal in our room, not a biggie though when your in a lovely location.

    Great location a few minutes' walk from town centre, and Caernarfon also handy for Anglesey, Portmeirion, etc. House was comfy and generally very clean, easy to feel at home. There were only two of us staying but even though the house had plenty of room for more people it didn't feel like it was TOO big for us. Access via keysafe box made it easy to check in and out while also making it easy for one of us to go out while the other stayed in. Would definitely stay again if back in Caernarfon.
