Two or three nights in Criccieth is just right: time to walk up to the castle, eat well, ride a steam train and see Portmeirion or the mountains, without needing a week off.

Midweek is quieter and often better value, and the seaside is lovely out of season too: crisp walks on the beach, then a warm bar and dinner at the hotel.
