We enjoyed our stay at the Lion Hotel the room was clean and we had a good view of the castle. The staff were polite and helpful and the Welsh breakfast was fresh and plentiful. The bay at Criccieth is lovely, calm warm water and beautiful scenery. We even saw dolphins in the distance.

A great hotel, located with a view across to the Castle. The staff were great and the hotel had a nice fresh feel about it with new paint and furniture mixing with furniture to match the period of such a grand building. Great that we could charge the car too. Breakfast was good and the evening meals were well cooked and presented
