Hotels in Caernarfon — your questions answered

How much do hotels and inns in Caernarfon cost?

Rooms run from £99 a night. The inn inside the walls is the one under £100; the two country houses sit between £100 and £150. Castle-facing rooms cost more than those at the back of the building, and the summer months are the dearest.

Where are the hotels in the town?

One is inside the medieval walls, a short walk from the castle and the square. The other two are country houses a few minutes’ drive out, at Llanddeiniolen and Bontnewydd, with parking and grounds of their own. Victoria Dock reopened as a marina in 1997 and is worth a walk even if you are not sleeping there.

Do they serve food?

All three include breakfast in the rate, and the listing tells you what else each one does. It is worth knowing when the kitchen stops if you are arriving late or out of season, because winter kitchens around the town close early. Ring ahead in January and February.

Can we get there without a car?

There is no mainline railway station in Caernarfon. The nearest is Bangor, about eight miles away, with the TrawsCymru T2 bus running between the two roughly every couple of hours. After that the town is small enough to cross on foot in a quarter of an hour.

Is the castle worth it, and what does it cost?

It is the reason most people come. Adult admission runs at £15.60 from June to August 2026 and £14.90 from September, with a family ticket at £50.00 in the summer band. The Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum in two of the towers is included once you are in.

Can we walk round the town walls?

Not along the top — access is shut for safety, whatever the guidebooks say. You can walk the full circuit at street level for nothing, and the walls run about 734 metres with eight towers. Porth Mawr Tower opens by key from Siop Lwsi on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Every hotel and inn on this page takes a booking direct with the owner, and rooms run from £99 a night. For breakfast in somebody's house instead, see the town's B&Bs and guest houses, or take a holiday cottage and cook for yourselves. Every kind of bed the town has sits together in Caernarfon. Caernarfon Castle and the town walls have been a World Heritage Site since 1986, and the Black Boy Inn sits inside them.
