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...

"D12 treetops at Clarach bay is a lovely setting. Family friendly and lovely staff. We had hot water and good recycling facilities. The site was perfect. However, some of our bedcovers had chocolate on them!!! We found spares to use instead. The green headboard on the main bedroom had a strong smell of unwashed hair ( it seriously needs to be replaced). We had no WiFi and on enquiring we were informed the previous guests had used it up? There were plenty cleaning materials and cooking facility...

Top Old Harbour Hotel Reviews

Starling Cloud, Aberystwyth by Marston’s Inns

8/10 Good

"Solid choice in a city without much. If you're looking for solid, clean, yet straightforward accommodations without surprises, it is a good choice. Many others are funky and falsely advertised."

gwesTY Guest House

8/10 Good

"This is a quirky place just off the promenade ,there are no staff at reception but an envelope with all details and actual keys to your room and front door.We could see the sea from the bay window and had a shared bathroom ,there are rooms with en suite but fully booked for our stay. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options,two cheerful girls cooking,no sign of the owners but it all worked smoothly ,also the eggs are from a local farm."

The Four Seasons Hotel

"Great bathroom and comfy bed"

Queensbridge Hotel

"Clean basic accommodation but lovely staff and a good breakfast."

Celtic Bay Guest House

8/10 Good

"Thanks for staying up to get me checked in. I was just there overnight."

Harry's Hotel

8/10 Good

"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."

Plas Hafan, Apartment 2, Aberystwyth

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful apartment with living room and bedroom overlooking the beach. It’s a stunning location with great amenities, very cosy and warm. Ideal for a get away. "
