Fantastic hotel! The service was excellent and staff were very friendly helpful and professional. The breakfast and evening meals were outstanding .We stayed for 2 nights in the executive room which had outstanding views, luckily we visited during the mini heatwave so we were able to enjoy a vino or two in the garden overlooking the bay. The building itself is very well maintained and nicely decorated. Highly recommend this hotel and wished that we could have stayed longer. We'll certainly be back.
Had a fantastic 3 nights at the Caerwylan as part of our Golden wedding celebrations. It did not disappoint. The weather was very good and the room we booked overlooking the sea was perfect. We ate in the Tonnau restaurant for 3 breakfasts and 2 evening meals, the food was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful and supportive of our attempts to speak Welsh as we are “dysgu Cymraeg”. Especially Glyn and Haf who were happy to help us in our attempts and Storm & Lola for their friendliness whilst serving us. We have stayed in the hotel before and we will definitely be back. Diolch yn fawr i pawb.
