Moel Tryfan

We couldn’t have been happier with Moel Tryfan.

Very comfortable and clean with everything you need. Smack bang in the centre of everything- view of the castle and quay one side and the steam of the steam trains on the other. Cant quite see the trains but its only a 1 minute walk to the station. Excellent service from Colin. He organised the parking (and the weather I requested) and was discreetly on hand for anything else. The village galleries and shops are interesting although opening times were a bit random. If you have mobility issues, there are a few stairs. We wondered if it might be noisy as its so central but it was fine. Headroom is limited in places but that is all part of the lovely character of the place. Perfect

Great apartment.

Superb location in the heart of Caernarfon. All the mod cons needed for a wonderful stay, would thoroughly recommend. We'll defo be back. Thanks.

The first thing that I would have to say about the apartment is that it was spotless!

very clean and tidy with a relaxed & comfortable vibe. Instructions & codes were easy to follow. The location is unreal! right next to the Harbour, the Castle & the car park. which you will receive a free parking permit for. Right outside your door you have the most amazing restaurant 'Marina Cei' that serves beautiful Tapas & great wine, which can also be enjoyed on the front terrace overlooking the Harbour & Castle. A few more steps away and you have a café that serves a wonderful breakfast! The two main side streets that have lots of little shops, bars & places to eat in are literally 5-10 minutes walk away. A visit to the Castle is an absolute must! worth every penny.

Great comfortable, clean place to stay in a prime location.

A great base to go off exploring for the day, park the car up in the evening in the car park next to the property. You can then relax for the evening or go to one of the many restaurants, pubs close by within walking distance. Would definitely stay again. We met the Caretaker Colin who was a lovely friendly, helpful guy.

The place was lovely, great location and view.

We met Colin, he was very pleasant.

Fabulous apartment.

Large bedroom with an enormous bathroom tastefully decorated, brand new carpet. Open plan, kitchen,( equipped with a dishwasher) lounge and small table and chairs, perfectly positioned by the window over looking the Castle. Perfectly centrally positioned close to all amenities , great tapas restaurant right outside your door and a fabulous cafe / restaurant for breakfast/ brunch the banana pancakes are divine. Perfect for a single person or couple . I would also like to mention Colin the caretaker , thankyou for locating the much needed fans during our stay , it was very much appreciated. We re- booked this apartment whilst we were away this year for next year.

Very comfortable apartment exactly as advertised

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely property, very clean modern furniture,comfy bed ,right in the centre of caernarfon, caretaker Colin was very helpful and friendly.

Very pleased with our stay

A well located, comfortable, spacious apartment.

The only drawback is the low beams, especially in the bedroom. Even my wife (5ft 1in) hit her head a few times!

Great location, well fitted out Great view of the castle

I loved staying two years ago, and that has only grown.

Particular with the proximity of Caernarfon Castle, and the Menai Straits. What adds to this beautiful scenic stay was the mountains and Snowdonia as a backdrop to this restful stay. The small town square, and it’s church. And of course it’s friendly and lovely villagers. In addition, the flat that I stayed in Moel Tryfan overlooked craft shops, of course I visited the craft shops. Beth’s gallery has been an absolute inspiration. As my visit was a little longer I visited Mostyn and Abakhans. And also got some time in Llanddwyn island! I’m currently learning Northern Welsh language, and will be back to visit other parts of this breath taking, and certainly underrated part of Wales. A huge thanks to Colin the caretaker, who always ensures that I have a safe stay, and in a respectful way.

We love staying at Moel Tryfan.

It's so well decorated and furnished, spotlessly clean, and the view of the castle is extraordinary! There's a charm about staying in the artisan Cei Llechi area too, especially being above the small museum. One huge plus is that, although Moel Tryfan is an apartment, there are no neighbours adjoining you, so - no noise. The only possible improvements I could suggest are some more cutlery, and personally I don't like tea out of a earthenware mug ( picky!) Thank you. We hope to be back for a third visit. Sheila

We had another loverly stay in moel tryfan ,perfect for a stay in north Wales with great views of Caernarfon castle from your window with everything in the apartment you would need ,Colin the caretaker is loverly and very helpful we will definitely be going back.

many thanks

Great apartment in a very good location Clean and tidy and decorated to a high standard Will definitely be re-booking sometime soon Special thanks to Colin who helped with the parking and general information about the area

Lovely apartment, ideal location.

Extremely good value for money.

Apartments were modern, new & comfortable.

Location is incredible - so central with views of the castle! So happy to have found a lovely dog friendly apartment for our trip.

Loved our stay, everything was perfect for us, cosy apartment, very clean and so warm we hardly used the heating at all.

The caretaker was brilliant and sorted us out with free parking, showed us around the on-site facilities and even provided use of a hosepipe to wash the dogs legs off after a sandy walk! There is some noise from the nightclub but didn’t disturb us. Loved staying by the castle, easy to get to bars and restaurants. Would definitely stay again!

Cosy property with lovely views of the castle and harbour from the lounge.

Caretaker was very helpful sorting out the parking for us, which would have been too expensive otherwise.

Lovely apartment, clean, comfortable and good location.

I would have given it 5 stars but the situation re parking needs urgent addressing so I'm onky giving 3 in the hope it will help get that sorted. When we booked the adjacent pay and display car park (owned by the Harbour Authority, who also own this apartment and the others in the complex) was advertised as costing around £5 or £6 for 24 hours. We have previously used the car park when visiting Caernarvon and budgeted accordingly. However on arrival we found the car park now costs more than triple that expected cost - almost 4 times that actually. Anyone booking until this issue is sorted should bear in mind that to park in the car park daily could add almost £150 to the price of the weeks rental. There are other parking options a reasonably short walk away but we found that quite inconvenient. Really there needs to be a parking permit included in the rental cost - owners should either up the price of rental and include a parking permit or declare this hidden cost. Overall the apartment is lovely but it is very overpriced when you factor in the extortionate parking costs. The Restaurant in the complex, La Marina was really good. We thoroughly enjoyed eating there and definitely recommend. It was very quiet most nights, probably the car park pricing is having an effect there too. The caretaker at the complex was very helpful. Told us all we needed to know, a very nice man. As other reviews have stated there is no information about how to use the appliances in the apartment. We worked it out OK, buy clearly previous residents hadn't as the dishwasher was clogged up having had the detergent tablet forced into the rinse aid compartment so maybe placing some information about how to operate things will help them last longer! Would we return? Yes - if parking issue is addressed, otherwise there are better options that are more luxurious and cost less.

The cottage/apartment was amazing for location.

Bed is super comfy, apartment is spacious, could do with a lovely bath in that bathroom as it’s huge! The caretaker was super helpful and the apartment felt safe with the gates being locked at night. One thing we did notice was another car in the car park had a permit displayed in the car window with a start and end date which I think for the price should be included as part of the stay as the car park adjacent fees had recently gone up in the past 12 days so we were unaware £16 for 18 hrs which is ridiculous when you are there a few nights, we found a car park opposite the train station which was £5 for 24 hrs but would have to replace at 7am each day which is not what you want when on holiday.

Property was as advertised.

Very clean and tidy and well equipped. More usable drawer space in the bedroom would be good but we did manage with the tiny drawers. Personally we found the mattress to be uncomfortable. Parking has changed from the advertised rate of £5.00 a day in the harbour car park but the Warden who was excellent at sorting all our queries out, directed us to another nearby car park a little further away that was £5.00 per day.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Moel Tryfan.

The property was very clean and comfortable and in a great location - perfect for exploring the area. The downside is the cost of parking, which is extremely high. We did eventually find somewhere more reasonably priced, but we would prefer the price of parking to be included in the cost of the holiday and a parking permit provided. Overall, though, a very good experience.

A lovely, well-equipped cottage in a central location.

Great views of the castle and harbour. Parking close to property at approximately £5 per day. Plenty of places to go nearby. We had a very comfortable stay and will return, maybe to a ground floor cottage with less stairs. Only negative is the lack of skylight covering in bedroom.

Exceptionally clean throughout, modern but keeping the character of the building, great location.

The views are amazing, as well as the location. Will definitely return.

We loved our stay at this great little apartment!

So central and convenient. The ONLY reason I gave comfort a lower mark was because the bed was too small compared to what we are used to and because of this and the skylight in the bedroom and the fact that the daylight streamed through at about 5am, neither of us had a decent night’s sleep. Aside from this however, the shower was lovely, and the apartment is very spacious and clean.

We very much enjoyed are stay at motel trypan, a loverly apartment with everything you need and hope to come back soon many thanks

Great location, we booked when the price was reduced which was a fair price.

A information folder for the property/appliances etc. would be good, but saying that the maintenance man, (who was a really nice bloke) was around the complex everyday and explained anything we asked, but we felt a book would be an advantage. Would definitely be back when the price is right, GREAT PROPERTY

Only problem was access after main entry point closed.

Side gate to courtyard needs some attention, it is stiff to open and when pushing handle could catch fingers. Other than that issue it was a pleasant stay.

What a beautiful apartment totally clean and more than adequate.

I shall be staying here again without a doubt. Caretaker was helpful and informative, a credit to the complex

The flat is clean, modern and equipped with everything you need,it's located in the harbour next to Caernarfon Castle and is a great location for exploring all of North Wales

We had a lovely stay.

Lovely accommodation. Everything we needed. Great view of the castle and river. Great location. Relaxing holiday. Lots to do locally. Would loved to return.

Absolutely loved our stay here.

The flat is well thought out and decorated and the little touches made it feel homey. We had a fab week here and cannot wait to return. Colin, the caretaker, was friendly and very quick with any repairs needed. The only little issues ( and I am digging deep to find fault) there was no blind at the skylight in the bedroom and the sun shining through at 6 in the morning was a bit of a shock! And a small chest of drawers in the bedroom would had been beneficial but we found a way around both

Had a fantastic stay at Moel Tryfan and can't rate the property higher!

Great location in Caernarfon close to the centre and the castle, and was easy to travel from. The property itself was well looked after and made for a very comfortable stay. Would definitely return!

Lovely apartment, clean and comfortable.

Close to all amenities. Short drive to all tourist attractions. Close to car park costing £5.50 for overnight.

Lovely apartment opposite caernarfon Castle clean and comfy and bargain for money lovely walks for me and my springer spaniel poppy enjoyed every moment of it and peaceful at night no noise disturbance would stay again

We have just returned from this property we had the best time the property was amazing and location was fantastic for exploring caernarfon and surrounding areas the owner was really good we lost our key and within 30 minutes we had a new one and didn't charge us for this will definitely be returning thank you so much

Everything was good but perhaps you could provide some info about access to the the bins and washing machine.

The caretaker helped me out with that. Really nice man. Car parking was more than the £5 a day you mentioned. Could you not get a permit? Really annoying to have to queue everyday for the machine.

This apartment was lovely, extremely well placed for the Castle and town centre.

Lovely restaurant next door but sadly not open every day but the food was lovely when we did manage to get in. Car park very close,payment is for 24 hours and costs 6.05 not the fiver as mentioned in the details, found it easy to get a space though. Apartment was very comfortable,nice big bathroom with walk in shower, kitchen had all the amenities you need,comfy living area and bedroom,all very modern

The apartment was in such a perfect spot overlooking the castle and easy walking distance to all local amenities.

It was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Would definitely recommend it. Only suggestion would be to know where to put the rubbish - the lovely lady in the cafe opposite let us use her bins.
