Top Cardigan Bay Hotel Reviews

Penhelig Arms

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, stayed in one of the suites, separate to the pub with amazing views of the estuary. Nice and clean, comfy bed, big bathroom. Food good, friendly staff"

The Glengower

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was great for a couple of nights in Aberystwyth. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Beds were comfy.Food was great with the cooked breakfast being done to order; nice change. Plus the usual cereal/ croissant buffet for those that don't like cooked.Parking out front is restricted to just 4 hours from 8am - 8pm but we found it useful to park in the unrestricted parking in the street at the back of the hotel.You can access this st via the rear entrance of the hotel. Just a short walk away is the famous cliff railway which is well worth an experience. I recommend this hotel for a few nights in Aberystwyth."

Harleys Aberystwyth

8/10 Good

"Thank you to Heather, she was kind and helpful and responded to requests quickly We were not disturbed by the night club since it was out of season and a Monday night. Room was good value for money. It could probably benefit from a lick of paint and the mattress was a little uncomfortable, but okay for 1 night."

Starling Cloud, Aberystwyth by Marston’s Inns

8/10 Good

"The room had two relatively minor issues: 1. The toilet flush was terrible. Difficult to flush. Impossible with long flush, hit and miss with short flush. 2. The toilet roll holder was in need of securing. Toilet rolls inevitably fell to the floor when used. As I said these issues were relatively minor but were an ongoing irritant."

Celtic Bay Guest House

8/10 Good

"Had a lovely stay here. Staff were helpful, location was perfect, room was really clean and it was amazing to have a sea view and be sent off to sleep by the sound of the waves on shingle! I would have rated it 5 stars if it hadn't been just a bit frayed around the edges - carpet was worn through and it was a shame the double glazing was shot as it was difficult to properly watch the sea through the condensation! Would definitely recommend for a no-frills stay in Aberystwyth."
