Tourist Information | Eating Out | Other Services

Criccieth is an ideal place to hold a festival, thanks to the tremendous range of accommodation and other readily available services. Criccieth can offer guests anything from a tent in a field to luxury 3 star accommodation!

The Criccieth Tourist Information Service CTIS is a good place to see the scope of what Criccieth & District has to offer, including B&Bs, Guest Houses, Hotels, Apartments & Cottages, Camp Sites and Caravan Parks. Some information is sadly out of date, but it is otherwise a comprehensive list of all services and accommodation. It does not offer a booking service nor are businesses quality rated.

For the local Tourist Board accommodation list, please contact a Tourist Information Centre (TIC). All TICs offer a comprehensive listing of North Wales Tourism Members (but exclude non-members, of which there are many). The closest TIC is in Porthmadog.

"I had an uncle with braces and a banjo in a cupboard and three aunts with voices. With a few sharp words, well-fitted Hester's, pure de Lessops, cut canals. At one hundred paces Hortense could pop the rivets of a railway viaduct while gentle Esther, my most beloved aunt, sighed when she spoke; her soft, kind voice entranced like the dusty sound of an harmonium played in the sunshaft of a quiet room"
Edgar Macck, An Imagined Childhood
