One of the oldest Inn’s in Wales. Inside the Castle walls and totally unique. An awesome cute tiny pub and they say the Inn has a resident ghost! Only a 5 minute walk to Castle Caernarfon which is an amazingly well preserved castle from 1283.

Came here by chance on a Sunday. We opted for the carvery and I can say that it was the best we've had for a long time. The portion was perfect(massive) and the quality of the food was fantastic. Staff were nice and friendly and the atmosphere was great. Highly recommend this to anyone and I'll be telling my friends to give it a try.

This is the second time I have been here. The first was 11 years ago ,and we weren't disappointed then. This time was even better. Excellent food,excellent atmosphere, excellent staff. I had the Nachos and the lamb shank. Outstanding. The desserts looked delicious too but I was far too full to try one. Definitely will next time. Highly recommend a visit here to each and every one of you.
