Following the success of our first visit to Criccieth in 2021 we return this October, staying four nights at the 4* Caerwylan Hotel. Criccieth was recently described by the Sunday Times as "a proper Welsh rare bit: mountains, sea, porpoises and a prom".
One of the musical highlights of the weekend will be An Evening with Sir Bryn Terfel at Venue Cymru in Llandudno which we will combine with a visit to the beautiful Bodnant Gardens. We will take a trip on the wonderful Welsh Highland Railway and pay a visit to the Italianate fantasy of Portmeirion. We will also get to see one of North Wales' unique Vineyards! On Friday evening two rising stars of the world of opera and musical theatre, Meriel Cunningham & Anthony Flaum will join us at Memorial Hall Criccieth for a concert and on Sunday evening we will be joined by local musicians for a recital.
The Caerwylan Hotel looks directly over Cardigan Bay and the Castle and is arranged over three floors. The hotel has a small elevator however there are some steps to almost all of the rooms. We have taken over the entire hotel for the weekend so we have a selection of rooms (all ensuite and many with walk-in shower). Rooms range from cosy but well appointed singles and standard doubles or twins through to Superior Sea Facing (just three of them on the 3rd floor) and Executive Sea Facing (on the 1st & 2nd floors). Frances, Michael and their team gave us a wonderful stay last October with top quality food & service and we are confident that you will enjoy the experience in 2022.
Coach transfers (and feeders) are included from our usual pick-up points and also Llandudno Junction Station which can be reached directly from London, Crewe and Chester.
