Seafront Location & Access

Hotel Services & Features
The hotel provides ironing facilities, sitting areas, and terraces with garden furniture. Local artworks and oak furnishings with slate panels add a Welsh touch. Wines are available for purchase unopened to take away.
“In my opinion, this boutique hotel captures the spirit of Aberystwyth; the sea-view rooms, some featuring private terraces and bay windows, are infused with local artistic touches. The dining is inspired by the Welsh landscape, and I was particularly intrigued by their commitment to sourcing artisan wines. For anyone drawn to coastal charm and thoughtful, locally rooted hospitality, this place seems ideal.”
