The owners Karen and Mark were amazing hosts! We managed to reserve the newly refurbished, top floor sea view, double room with ensuite. It was well decorated keeping the traditional features but with a modern twist.
The ensuite has a large shower cubicle with a powerfull shower. The hosts also supplied the bathroom with shower gel and shampoo, cotton buds and face wipes. Little touches that really make a difference.
The room was very bright as the window is massive allowing you to have a perfect view of the water. There was a dresser which had a kettle, tea, coffee and galaxy hot chocolate with a small selection of biscuits - all of very good quality.
The bed was super comfortable! The pillows were so good that I meant to ask them where they bought them. (I'll need to text and ask after this review!)
Karen & Mark set out complimentary tea, coffee and a cake/snack for their guests between 2-5pm every day and Karen made homemade scones which were delicious! This is very sweet and it really does add to the excellent customer service they already provide. Breakfast was between 8-9.30am and it was cooked to perfection! The portion sizes were very generous and the quality of the food was excellent, setting us up for the day ahead. They also offer various options for specific dietary requirements too.
We also had a little last minute issue with our bunny sitter and Karen and Mark were very understanding and even though they are a no pet b&b on this occasion they allowed us to bring Bella along on the conditions she wasn't left to rome around. We packed her cage and she had a lovely relaxing time too!
We would most definately use Cear Menai B&B again and will recommend to anyone we know visiting Caernarfon.
A massive thank you to Karen & Mark for making our trip to...
Read moreI couldn't speak highly enough of this accommodation. Caer Menai is the most delightful guesthouse with tasteful décor, comfortable rooms, a good breakfast, spotlessly clean, helpful and polite host and inside the walls of the old town. On the ground floor there is a shared lounge area and breakfast room. A hot breakfast is included. Bedrooms are on the second and third floor. We had a room on the third floor. Lots of stairs but well worth it and we felt we had the best room and a lovely view over the wall to the river. The only way to approach the guesthouse by car is via the gate on the corner of Cei Bank and Church Streets. Caer Menai is only a short distance on your right. Look for the yellow building. There is free street parking near Caer Menai, however we never saw any spots become available. There are also some free bays just beyond the Sailing Club, near where you enter the gates, otherwise the host will provide you with a free voucher for parking just five minutes walk away. Park at the far end from the entrance if using this option as there is a path that leads you back to Cei Bank street. There are plenty of dining options in the area however some require a booking as they get busy and some are closed on Mondays. Caernarfon Castle is a short walk away. We preferred walking around the outside of the wall as there is a lovely view over the river. In the town (Castle) square you will find a convenience store, pharmacy, cafes, post office and ATM. We spent two nights but could have spent longer as the location proved central to other areas...
