Top Aberystwyth Historic Hotels

The Glengower
4.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (530)
"We enjoyed our stay and staff were excellent. Arriving on a Saturday, however, meant parking wasn't as easy as it should have been as it is along the seafront and very busy. Internal doors are noisy also which meant a less than restful night after a 7 hour drive. Breakfasts were good with vegetarian options and we had a nice dinner there on Sunday. Easy walking to the shops in town and other dining options. We would stay again but request a room in a quieter part of the building. "
