Superb hotel in a great position

An absolute brilliant hotel. Great location. Our room had a wonderful view of the harbour. It was very spacious well furnished and very well equipped. Scrupulously clean. Appreciated the full size bath and the comfortable bed. Couldn't fault it. The restaurant was very good for both dinner and breakfast. Staff extremely friendly. Great stay.

The area around the hotel was blocked off due to the work on flooding barriers and so I could not park the car in front of hotel where I would usually park-the hotel car park is very very small so I could not park there and I had to park my car at the very back by the sea wall and I was worried about leaving my car there. There were no notices or information about where to park car and the one way system in relation to the main street is very confusing and no clear direction-it is good that I know Aberaeron otherwise I would have been very confused in relation to finding the hotel and where to park! The hotel was wonderful and the staff lovely and helpful!

The room was disappointing. Bright red carpet, strange purple headboard with a shelf cut into it so I couldn’t rest my head against it. No walk in shower which I would expect for the money. Room needs an update and some colour co ordination.

Stunning

I have eaten in the Harbourmaster many times but never stayed. I arrived after a long drive and they made sure I could eat, the food was to die for, the room was one of the best equiped I have ever stayed in with lovely views of the harbour. This morning in a rush to leave the staff would not let me leave until I had grabbed a coffee and a breakfast bap to go. Fantastic friendly staff and a stunning location, cannot say more than that
