“Here's my take: this beachfront hotel really shines with its prime location on Aberystwyth's promenade. The combination of a cozy pub atmosphere, locally-sourced food, and genuinely helpful staff makes it a standout, dog friendly, choice. In my opinion, its rustic Victorian charm and sea views make for a memorable stay.”
