We were very impressed with the Lion Hotel in Criccieth. It is in a great position with plenty of parking. It is a traditional character hotel, clean, well maintained and decorated with lovely staff. It was also great value, would recommend as a base to explore the beautiful Llyn Peninsula.

Decent hotel - typical old hotel building that's been progressively modernized.
The staff are friendly, the breakfast was good, and the room was comfortable - if small. I'd be happy to stay here again.

A beautiful historic hotel in a picturesque welsh town. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff. Only complaint is the room was a bit hot and stuffy, even with the window open.

Nice pub/hotel in Criccieth. A small seaside town, just outside Porthmadog, but without the crowds. Good size car park and public transport, if you wish to have acar free day.

Great stay, good location to explore the area.
Free parking, good Wi-Fi, good breakfast.
The bed was a a little soft but personal preference. The hotel had everything we needed for a comfy family stay.
