Lovely and affordable guest house on the waterfront.
Pros:

Only had some basic toast and marmalade, the couple sat on the next table over had fried and poached eggs on toast which looked amazing.

Cons:

The duvet was a little too thick for my liking, so I slept without it.

Pros:

The position of the hotel was excellent, just in front of the sea. What impressed us most was the breakfast, the best we had in 2 weeks holiday around England and Wales. Staff was friendly and super helpful. One unexpected treat: a GHD hairdryer at your disposal in the definitely spacious bathroom.

Cons:

Pros:

A very large room with great decor and comfort. Gigantic bed, relaxing wave sound at night. Romantically designed bathroom with local Welsh made incredibly fragrant soap and shampoo!!!!! Breakfast is top notch! Highly recommended spot in Aberystwyth. We would love to come back.

This is it for Aberystwyth
Pros:

Best location in Aberystwyth. Very nice team and very good breakfast. The bar is not to be missed, and the furniture in both the rooms and the breakfast room (=Bar) is excellent. We were informed upfront about road closures and which parking place to take - this was brilliant service and so helpful. Very good restaurant around the corner is Glengover. Don't miss Scenic Railway ride to Devils Bridge.

Cons:

Bar closed rather early.
