Top Cardigan Bay Hotel Reviews

The Cardigan Bay Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"It was nice and close to everything."

The Glengower

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely stay! Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and a super comfortable bed! The staff were all so friendly, happy and helpful, making us feel really welcome. The cosy, atmospheric bar and dining area was a lovely place to spend the evening, with fantastic food and a beautiful selection of wines and whiskies. Breakfast was equally delicious, with the Eggs Benedict an absolute must! A really lovely place to stay, full of character and warmth. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back!"

Penhelig Arms

10/10 Excellent

"Good check in. Staff really friendly and helpful. Rokm was ok. Bit tired in parts. Floor very uneven and sloped in parts but it's an old building so to be expected I guess. Dinner was lovely but the tables were very sticky.either need a good scrub or a change in cleaning fluid. Breakfast was lovely and reasonably priced. Views are beautiful. Would stay again"

gwesTY Guest House

8/10 Good

"Don't relay on the "free Wi-Fi" my mobile kept cutting out and trying to use my laptop won't even load."

Starling Cloud, Aberystwyth by Marston’s Inns

8/10 Good

"Decent place for night"

Penrhos Park

8/10 Good

"Great location, good amenities, swimming pool. Games room with pool table and couple of claw machines which kids loved. Rooms very dated but clean, beds/ pillows not very comfortable but bathroom had been refurbished which was nice. Pool was warm, changing rooms very basic and needed money for hair dryer. Need to bring own towels for pool."

The Four Seasons Hotel

8/10 Good

"All good Only criticism not much parking"

Castle Hotel

8/10 Good

"I'm glad that I stayed at The Castle Hotel finally. It was very pleasant! My room was spacious and had nice views out of the windows, the bed was comfortable, the staff were pleasant. It wasn't right in the middle of Aber, so it was quiet (minus the noise from the car racing - but I had a great view for it). Easy walk right down to the sea. The only drawback was not having a lift, but that is pretty common and my fault for having a heavy suitcase! I would definitely stay again."

Queensbridge Hotel

8/10 Good

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