Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
A real effort was made to make us feel safe and comfortable despite the Covid restrictions. Because we have visited them twice before, we knew the place and facilities were scrupulously clean and the welcome outstanding. Even though the room wasn't serviced during our 3 night stay because of Covid, we were able to replenish our fresh milk in the little fridge and the toiletries andbiscuits every day ourselves. We did miss the warm fresh bread at breakfast (we had to be served by the proprietors at our table rather than help ourselves) and the usual tea/coffee and cakes in the lounge every afternoon, which we had loved on past visits. But we understood the restrictions.
United KingdomEverything was perfect here at Caer Menai. Firstly the location is perfect - it's right within the ancient city walls and steps from Carnarvon Castle which is literally at the end of the street. Our room was spacious, filled with natural light, furnished beautifully and supplied with little treats. It's gorgeous! In the afternoon, tea and cake is served in the charming lounge room and the cooked breakfast, delicious. It made our trip special to stay here
AustraliaLocation in town centre, within the old town walls, excellent. Very comfortable bed and bedding. Very clean and beautiful decor. Very good breakfast.

United KingdomA lovely guest house that treats you very special. Loved the location close to the castle too.
United States of AmericaLocation was excellent, property was immaculate and cleaned to an extremely high standard. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was great. A lovely B&B nestled inside the castle walls which I would happily stay in again.
United KingdomAfter spending the day walking mount Snowdon, it was a relief to have one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in! And added bonus was the delicious breakfast the morning after. Lovely b&b, I'd recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Caernarfon.
United KingdomExcellent location within the town walls and a short walk to the castle. Our room had a sea view of the Menai Straits and Anglesey so we could watch the tides come and go. Our room was up to date with modern features as with the bathroom. Very comfortable bed so we both slept well each night. A cooked breakfast is available, if required,served by Mark, although we were quite happy with just cereals and toast. Both Karen and Mark make you feel at home and keep keep this place spotlessly clean. All being well we will return again next year.
United KingdomYou are right next to castle and within the castle walls. The place is lovely and very clean. Cake and tea in the afternoon was a wonderful touch in the sitting room

Host Info
Caer Menai is a grade II listed Georgian/Victorian property with many typical features from those eras. Originally built in 1823 it was a teacher training college before becoming the site of the first county school in 1894. It was converted to a guest house in 1974
We have been at Caer Menai for six years now and as well as having the pleasure of meeting some lovely people we also love our surroundings. Walks from our doorstep along the banks of the Menai or further afield into Snowdonia. Beach combing along the beaches on Anglesey and visiting some of the many National Trust properties within a short drive - Bodnant Gardens being a particular favourite of ours and a place we return to several times a year to witness the changing of the seasons.
Guests come from all parts of the country and indeed the world, but most come to see our World Famous Castle in Caernarfon, built by Edward 1 in the thirteenth century. A guided walk can be taken through the streets of medieval Caernarfon with stories about people, places and history of this very Welsh town. The Snowdonia National Park provides many attractions “Doing” Snowdon the easy way by the train or the hard way via one of the many tracks, Slateworks, Electric Mountain, Forest Parks and Activity Centres are all popular attractions.The coast is spectacular, the island of Anglesey (Ynys Mon) has many fine beaches to visit.Also, Portmeirion an Italianate village built by one man is in easy reach. Bounce Below at Blaenau Ffestiniog and Zip World offer a unique experience and both just a very short drive away.
