The castle is excellent. Disabled visitors and carers go free. Easy access cafe inside. Fabulous cafe / deli Bonti Deli opposite castle entrance. Welsh Highland Railway - we did the 3 hour ride - fab views of Yr Wyddfa

The main attraction is the castle, which is enormous and quite extraordinary. Needs a good couple of hours at least. The town is also interesting and colourful. Other attractions within relatively easy reach.

The area around the castle is quaint and attractive. There’s lots to explore in the castle and the displays are interesting and informative. For eating and drinking you’re spoilt for choice. There’s plenty of convenient parking and it’s not too expensive. It’s a good base for visiting nearby attractions.

If you want to climb Snowdonia, it is a great location and a 30 minute bus ride. Also, the castle's preservation is one of the best. A delightful town which is really trying to attract visitors.

The town is steeped in history, is a fantastic location, and an ideal base for wider exploration of Snowdonia . My interest was in the little steam trains of Wales, of which there are an abundance within easy reach by car from Caernarfon. I choose the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland railways, but during the summer, there are several others including the Snowdon Mountain Railway, the Llanberis Lake Railway. If you are prepared to venture further afield, to the south is the Talyllyn railway near Barmouth, the Fairbourne Railway, also near Barmouth and a bit further south at Aberystwyth, the Vale of Rheidol Railway, all of which I highly recommend.

The Chalet is easily accessible, very spacious, quiet environment, recreational activities and very comfortable bed. Everything in the Chalet was as advertised on Booking.com. I’ll definitely be staying there again/ even longer.
