Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was really comfortable and spacious, with a good shower and a beautiful view of the harbor. The views were fantastic and just a stone's throw from the beach. The service was amazing with very professional and pleasant staff, and the location was excellent facing the harbor and just a few meters away from the sea wall with majestic Atlantic breakers. The dining experience was delightful, offering an extensive feast and the opportunity to enjoy a Welsh Rarebit. However, it's a shame that Wi-Fi had an extra charge.
My stay at the hotel was truly memorable. The rooms were extremely well set up, attractively furnished in very pretty but unusual colors, with great quality refreshments and lovely extras like toiletries. The cozy sitting area with a view of both the window and the television was a delightful touch. The only drawback was the awkward access to the top room via a spiral staircase.
The hotel offers lovely rooms with beautiful colors and views over the harbor, although it may not be the best value for money. The service is excellent, with welcoming and helpful staff. The location in Aberaeron is fantastic for coastal walks and has a friendly staff, but it's situated right at the end of the harbor entrance. The dining experience is good overall, with a mix of options, although it may not be as enjoyable as before. The facilities are well-maintained.
