2. The Glengower

1 km from Old Harbour

"The Glengower was perfect for our two night stay in Aberystwyth. Our room on the third floor provided a good night's sleep and was a good size, with a good bathroom. One thing to note is that there is no lift, so if that is an issue for you, you would be advised to go for a lower floor. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide range of options. We took advantage of the excellent evening meal from the bar, which we ate on the terrace at the front with a sea view, but which could have also been eaten...

"Staff were great, was clean and tidy, used to stay as a single traveller for rally weekend. Centrally located and everything you'll need in a room. Ideal for my trip, would recommend if you are looking for a good value bed for the night"

Large 5 bedroom town-centre home close to the beach, sleeps 9.

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed as a multi generational group for our daughter’s graduation at Aber uni. Jason’s house was ideal. It was clean and well equipt, lots of toilet roll (always an annoyance in many lets!), very well equipt kitchen with dishwasher & lots of fridge & freezer space, lots of games and we were very grateful for the fans left in every room. We were concerned about the parking when we booked but this was never a problem (& we came with 3 cars). We often found street parking nearby or used the football club long stay car park which was good value. The house is in the town centre but apart from the seagulls it was quiet. An easy walk to the beach, shops & restaurants. We had a great time & would love to stay again. Thank you."
