Caerphilly Hotels: Where to Stay in Wales

Hotels in Caerphilly are few, and most guests pick between two Premier Inn sites, a Travelodge, and a small guest house or farm B and B. Caerphilly sits north of Cardiff and draws visitors to its huge castle. This guide covers every Caerphilly hotel and guest house we could confirm, flags the gaps, and lists old names you should skip. We do not quote rates, because they change daily.

Where to Stay in Caerphilly, Wales

Travelodge Caerphilly

Travelodge Caerphilly stands at 1 Beddau Way, Caerphilly, CF83 2AX. The hotel page gives the sat nav postcode CF83 2BB and says the building sits opposite a Lidl on the B4600. The phone number is 08719 846364.

Check-in starts at 3 PM and check-out ends at noon. Early check-in and late check-out cost extra, so ask at booking. Reception is staffed around the clock.

Double rooms have king-size beds. Every room has tea and coffee supplies and toiletries. Free parking is on site, but spaces are limited and go to early arrivals. Free Wi-Fi runs for 30 minutes a day, and longer access costs extra. Breakfast to Go is sold at reception. A separate restaurant stands next door.

All accessible rooms are on the ground floor, and some rooms allow pets. Cots, irons, and hair dryers come on request, subject to stock.

Drivers leave the M4 at Junction 32, take the A470 toward Merthyr Tydfil, then follow the A468 toward Caerphilly. Travelodge lists Caerphilly Castle as the closest sight and also names Caerphilly Mountain and Llancaiach Fawr Manor as nearby trips.

Premier Inn Caerphilly Crossways

This Premier Inn sits at Crossways Business Park, Pontypandy, Caerphilly, CF83 3NL. Call 0333 777 3974. Expedia lists check-in from 3 PM and check-out at noon.

The hotel offers free on-site parking. Guests register their vehicle number on a tablet at reception, and Horizon Parking runs the car park. Drivers with vehicles over 19 feet or 3.5 tonnes should contact the hotel first.

Rooms include free Wi-Fi, tea and coffee supplies, a desk, and a powerful shower. Double rooms have king-size beds. Premier Inn sells a build-your-own breakfast with vegetarian and vegan choices, and up to two children eat free with each adult breakfast. Expedia says pets are not allowed.

Expedia places Caerphilly Castle about 1.7 miles away, a six-minute drive. Recent guest reviews on the Premier Inn page say the on-site restaurant has closed and building work has changed parking. Call ahead to confirm both before you travel.

Premier Inn Caerphilly Corbetts Lane

This Premier Inn stands on Corbetts Lane, CF83 3HX. Wikivoyage places the site in Llanbradach, on the edge of the Caerphilly area. Call 0333 777 3973. Travel Weekly lists check-in from 2 PM and check-out at noon, while Crossways lists 3 PM. Confirm your arrival time by phone.

The Premier Inn page lists free on-site parking, free Wi-Fi, a restaurant, and breakfast. The breakfast is build-your-own, with cooked, vegetarian, vegan, and continental items. Accessible rooms and lowered accessible bathrooms are available.

Travel Weekly places the hotel about a mile and a half from Caerphilly Castle, near the M4 and beside the Cedar Tree pub. Premier Inn says Caerphilly Castle and Castell Coch are a short bus ride away. This site suits drivers and anyone heading toward Cardiff or Newport.

Ty Castell Guest House

Ty Castell Guest House sits at 48 St Martins Road, Caerphilly, CF83 1EJ. Call 07980 943883. The owner lists an email address on the Visit Caerphilly page.

Two sources describe the location. Visit Wales says the guest house stands about 250 metres from the rail and bus stations. Visit Caerphilly says the walk to the town centre and the station takes about five minutes. Both agree the castle, the tourism office, and St Martins Church lie close by.

Every guest room is en-suite and has a TV and tea and coffee supplies. Visit Wales lists en-suite showers, towel rails, and hair dryers, and notes private parking with one bay per room. The two sources disagree on room count. One says five rooms and the other says six guest bedrooms. Ask when you book. Check-in times are not published, so call to confirm.

Both sources say Cardiff lies 15 to 20 minutes away by car, bus, or train. Families can book a suite of two connecting loft rooms with one en-suite, according to Visit Wales.

Y Fan Bed and Breakfast

Y Fan Bed and Breakfast sits at Gwern y Domen Farm Lane, Caerphilly, CF83 3RN. Call 02920 880435. The old version of this post called Y Fan a luxury hotel with a spa and restaurant. We found no sign of either. Visit Caerphilly lists Y Fan as a bed and breakfast, and Tripadvisor shows the same name among stays near the castle.

Visit Caerphilly describes king and super king beds, en-suite rainwater showers, underfloor heating, free Wi-Fi, and tea and coffee in every room. Two rooms also have a bath. A licensed bar serves guests in a lounge with a log burner. Afternoon teas and Welsh cheese platters need 48 hours of notice.

The listing says the house stands on the edge of meadowland. The walk to the town centre and castle takes about 10 minutes. The station is about 15 minutes on foot, with trains to Cardiff in around 15 minutes. A mountain bike park lies about five minutes away.

Y Fan does not accept pets, and the many stairs make the house a poor fit for guests with mobility needs. Breakfast details and check-in times are not on the listing. This stay rests mainly on one detailed source, so call before you book.

Hotels in Caerphilly: How to Choose

Pick Ty Castell if you want to walk everywhere. The guest house sits close to the station, the castle, and the shops. Pick Y Fan for a quiet farm-lane stay, still within walking distance of the town centre.

Pick Travelodge or either Premier Inn if you drive. Each has free on-site parking and a standard room layout. Travelodge allows pets in some rooms. Premier Inn Crossways does not, according to Expedia.

Travelers with mobility needs should call each property. Travelodge keeps its accessible rooms on the ground floor. Both Premier Inn sites list accessible rooms. Y Fan warns about stairs.

Caerphilly has no large chain hotel in the town centre. Guests who want a bigger hotel choice often stay in Cardiff and ride the train north. Guests who want a small, personal stay choose Ty Castell or Y Fan.

Motels in Caerphilly

Caerphilly has no true roadside motels. British travelers use the word for budget chain hotels with car parks beside a main road. Travelodge Beddau Way and the two Premier Inn sites fit this description. Each offers free on-site parking and simple rooms at an easy drive from the M4 and A470.

Hotels Near Caerphilly Castle

Caerphilly Castle stands on Castle Street, CF83 1JD. Cadw calls the site the biggest castle in Wales and second only to Windsor in Britain. Gilbert de Clare began work in 1268, and the grounds cover about 30 acres.

Visitors can see the Great Hall, which reopened after two years of conservation work. They can walk the inner ward, the moat, and the Watergate viewing platform. The south-east tower leans noticeably, and Cadw calls the castle Wales’s own Leaning Tower. The route is one way through towers and narrow corridors. Cadw warns of uneven or slippery stone steps and of geese, which can turn aggressive in nesting season.

From 1 November to 28 February the castle opens from 10 AM to 4 PM. From 1 March to 30 June and from 1 September to 31 October the hours are 9:30 AM to 5 PM. July and August run 9:30 AM to 6 PM. Last entry comes 30 minutes before closing. The castle closes on 24, 25, and 26 December and on 1 January, and weather can force short-notice closures. Check Cadw before you go.

Of the places we confirmed, Ty Castell and Y Fan sit within walking range of the castle, and both Premier Inn sites and Travelodge lie a short drive away. Cadw lists a short-stay car park about 110 metres from the gate and a long-stay car park about 500 metres away. Car parks charge fees.

Things to Do Around Caerphilly

Wikivoyage lists a statue of Tommy Cooper on The Twyn, honoring the comedian, and the Caerphilly Indoor Market on Pentrebane Street, open Monday to Saturday. The Big Cheese arts festival has run in the castle grounds on the last weekend of July.

The council also runs the Caerphilly Cheese Festival. The 2025 edition filled the town centre and the grassed area behind the castle on 30 and 31 August. Rail replacement buses ran between Rhymney and Caerphilly on those days. Festival weekends fill local beds, so book early. The council events team can confirm future dates at 01443 866390.

Caerphilly cheese is a hard, crumbly white cheese from the local countryside. Farmhouse production lapsed during World War II and has since returned, says Wikivoyage. Castell Coch lies a short bus ride away, according to Premier Inn. Llancaiach Fawr Manor and Caerphilly Mountain appear on the Travelodge page as nearby trips.

Getting to Caerphilly

Drivers can leave the M4 at Junction 32, take the A470 toward Merthyr Tydfil, and follow the A468 toward Caerphilly. Transport for Wales runs trains to Caerphilly from Cardiff Queen Street and Cardiff Central. Visit Caerphilly says trains from the town to Cardiff take around 15 minutes.

Ty Castell and Y Fan sit within a short walk of the station, so rail travelers can leave the car at home. Check the timetable before you go. Planned engineering works and events sometimes bring replacement buses.

Old Listings We Dropped

Our earlier version of this guide named four stays we could not confirm. We found no current Dragon Hotel in Caerphilly town. The search turned up only a news story about a dragon sculpture at the castle. We found no Caerphilly Townhouse Hotel in the town either.

We also found no Caerphilly Castle Lodge in Caerphilly. A Castle Lodge appears in the Visit Caerphilly listings, but the address is in Cwmcarn, a different town. As noted above, Y Fan is a bed and breakfast and not a spa hotel. We kept Y Fan under its correct description and removed the other three.

The Goodrich Hotel on Van Road closed years ago. The Caerphilly Observer reported in July 2015 crews demolished the building over several days to make way for 12 flats for social housing. Some old directories may still list the hotel. Do not plan a stay there.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We checked Travelodge and both Premier Inn hotels against their official pages. We cross-checked addresses and times against Expedia and Travel Weekly. We checked Ty Castell against Visit Wales and Visit Caerphilly. We checked Y Fan against Visit Caerphilly and a Tripadvisor listing.

We could not confirm current room rates, and we do not quote any. We could not confirm check-in times for Ty Castell or Y Fan. The Premier Inn Corbetts Lane check-in time differs between sources. Y Fan rests mainly on one detailed listing.

Some venues near Caerphilly, such as Llechwen Hall Hotel in Llanfabon and Bryn Meadows Golf, Hotel and Spa near Ystrad Mynach, appear on the Visit Caerphilly stay list. They sit outside the town, and we did not research them. Confirm every detail with the property before you travel.

Conclusion
