Flying solo in Criccieth
My stay was lovely. The Moelwyn was quiet and clean, right on the seafront and perfect for my short break.

All weather seasons in two days !
Was a comfortable stay this time stayed at this hotel for 3 years around early July following our four day stay at Llangollen for music and dancing eistetord festival. We enjoyed seaside views at molwyn we experienced all seasons in 3 days super hot and calm seaside but then storm rough sea and windy luckily we were equipped with ski clothing in July in wales layers on clothes and air conditioning in car for cooling in sunshine afternoon’s. Nice icecream van and fish and chips available in walking range. Steve and Jo made us very welcome.

Very disappointing. The whole building including our room needs some TLC, smelt musky, our shower didn’t work and no one to greet us when we arrived.

A quick overnighter while in the area for a golf event. Happy with our stay and no complaints - the lady who checked us in was very helpful and friendly, especially around directing us to use the dining room for takeaways which suited our purpose.

Disappointing, but not entirely owners fault
Hotel was not as described online. The telephone number was incorrect and we were unable to make contact with the hotel. The restaurant was non-existent and the TV had no channels even after tuning.

MISREPRESENTATION!
We booked B&B only to find the restaurant had not functioned since end of 2023! No breakfast or any other food has been served for 18 months! The hotel is advertised as 'Moelwyn Hotel & Restaurant'. The board outside calls it 'The Moelwyn Restaurant with Rooms' with additional B&B board! This is misrepresentation! The owner is permanently unavailable!
