Very well-run small independent hotel in a great location. Best to book direct for the best price and because it may have rooms available altho booking.com does not. We eventually moved to a seaside view room. Lovely. …

Quaint but comfortable rooms, some with excellent views of the seafront. Not exactly what one would call fully disabled accessible, as there are many stairs and no lift, but it is a great location close to so much of what Aberystwyth has to offer. About a dozen parking spaces to the back of the property. And the cooked to order breakfast is excellent!
