A pretty Georgian coastal town located between Cardigan and Aberystwyth with a lovely pebble beach and beautiful sea views. There is an abundance of shops with unusual gifts, great eating places and pubs, and a quiet little harbour to enjoy watching the boats come and go. Aberaeron is perfectly positioned to enjoy boat trips and watersports, or coastal and countryside walks and cycle rides. Short drives to Cardigan to the south, or Aberystwyth to the north offer more shops, craft centres, museums and cinema or theatre visits. A wonderful Mid Wales location all year round.

Given the age and size of the house with high ceilings I was worried it might be a bit cold (we visited over new year) but it was really warm and comfortable. Very well equipped with everything you could need and clean and tidy. It is roadside but the walls are really thick so we didn't notice any traffic noise. A great place to base yourself. 5 minutes walk to the beach and a short walk onto Aberaeron for coffee and cake. A beautiful area. We would definitly visit again.

However inside was superficially clean. The floors were not clean, the carpet in the lower floor was particularly unclean, and the kitchen floor was sticky. We stopped walking around without shoes on. When we stripped the bedding before leaving we found stains on the duvet inners, and the mattress toppers.
