Access Statement
Please note the hotel is currently closed
This access statement does not contain personal opinions as to our suitability for those with access needs, but aims to accurately describe the facilities and services that we offer all our guests/visitors.
The Hotel Port Dinorwic is an informal and friendly hotel with very varied accommodation types. These include double/twin bedrooms, suites, cottages & function rooms at affordable prices. It has been family run since its creation in 1993 and continues to be to this day. Its location overlooking the Menai Straits gives it un-paralleled panoramic sea views.
Each room at the Hotel Port Dinorwic is individually styled and laid out. Room capacity can vary from single occupancy double rooms, to six person suites. All accommodation is en-suite, with tea and coffee making facilities, free view TV and free WIFI. We have one room which has particularly good disabled access and more which may be suitable, depending on specific needs. Please note that not all rooms have a sea view.
The hotel boasts a range of facilities, such as a heated swimming pool, sauna, restaurant and function rooms. The hotel is perfectly situated between the university city of Bangor and the historic town of Caernarfon. The Snowdonia National Park is located only 15 mins away and the Isle of Anglesey only 5 mins.
The hotel is located in the Port Dinorwic Marina and access is gained by crossing a small bridge over the dock and up a steep 20m incline.
We look forward to welcoming you. If you have any queries or require any assistance please phone 01248 67 11 22 or email info@hotelportdinorwic.co.uk.
