Criccieth is a small seaside town on the Llŷn side of Cardigan Bay, with a castle on its headland and two beaches either side of it. The guests are families in the school holidays, couples out of season, and walkers on the Wales Coast Path who stay a night or two and move on. Most rooms here sit in small, owner-run hotels and guest houses. The year follows the weather and the school calendar: Easter wakes the town up, summer fills it, September brings the couples back, and winter is quiet, with weekends doing most of the work.

How we count
A median of the advertised nightly rates for a standard double room, two adults, across at least eight hotels in and around Criccieth (the town and the hotels nearby that compete with it) each month, never fewer; no hotel is named and no single hotel's price is shown. A rate counts only if it was read within three weeks of the night (or of today, for a night still ahead). Weekend = Friday and Saturday nights. 'Looked full' = the share of hotel-nights that showed no availability.
If you run a hotel in Criccieth
Start with your best available rate for a standard double. In September 2026 the middle half of advertised rates in and around Criccieth ran from £110 to £143, around a median of £120. A standard double above £143 was dearer than about three in four of the rates on offer; below £110 it was cheaper than about three in four. Neither is wrong, but each should be a choice you made, not one you drifted into.
Across the published months, Friday and Saturday nights in and around Criccieth were advertised between -1.6% and 10.6% away from midweek (a negative figure means weekends were cheaper). If your weekend rate is the same as your Tuesday rate, you are pricing against a town that does not.
Hotels in and around Criccieth were fullest in April 2026 (7.7% of hotel-nights), September 2026 (16.2% of hotel-nights) and October 2026 (10.5% of hotel-nights). Those are the months most likely to hold compression nights, when most of the town sells out and a room sold too cheaply is money you will not get back.

Questions people ask
Is this the price guests pay in Criccieth?
No. These are the nightly rates hotels advertised for a standard double, two adults, before any member discount, code or package. What a guest finally pays can be lower, and a night that showed no availability has no rate in the median.
Why a median and not an average?
The median is the middle advertised rate: half were above it, half below. One hotel charging three times the rest would pull an average up; it barely moves a median, so the figure stays close to what most of the town is asking.
Why are some months missing?
A month is published only when at least eight hotels in and around Criccieth (the town and the hotels nearby that compete with it) advertised a recent rate for it. With fewer, a figure could point to a single hotel, so the month is left out rather than shown on thin evidence.
How often is this page updated?
Monthly. The date at the top of the page is when the figures were last refreshed; the months ahead change most between updates, because hotels move their rates as the nights get closer.
