The hotel is charming with wonderful views over the bay and castle. It was lovely to sit in the bar and look out onto the sea and where the barman was charming. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. We arrived early, before noon, just expecting to drop our luggage off. But, no, the room was ready and we were shown straight up. Often hotels stick to a fairly rigid routine about check-in times, but not the Caerwylan. We didn't eat at the hotel in the evening as we had other plans with friends, but we understand that the restaurant is very good. Breakfast was excellent and filling! They certainly know how to do a poached egg here - something that seems to elude some chefs. Tip: you can park outside the hotel at the front, but it's a little tight, or on the seafront a few steps away. But ask to rent one of the hotels lock-up garages at the back. It's very cheap and much more convenient. Thanks again Caerwylan - we had a great stay.
