Located in the historic county of Cardiganshire, Aberystwyth means “the mouth of the Ystwyth“. It has been a major educational location in Wales since the establishment of University College Wales, now Aberystwyth University, in 1872.
The town is situated on Cardigan Bay on the west coast of Wales, near the confluence of the River Ystwyth and Afon Rheidol. Following the reconstruction of the harbour, the Ystwyth skirts the town. The Rheidol passes through the town. The seafront, with a pier, stretches from Constitution Hill at the north end of the Promenade to the harbour at the south. The beach is divided by the castle. The town is divided into five areas: Aberystwyth Town; Llanbadarn Fawr; Waunfawr; Trefechan; and Penparcau.
Set in the Cornish countryside just north of St Austell Bay the traditional listed barns have been beautifully and carefully converted into comfortable, stylish and superbly equipped holiday cottages and have been nominated for conservation and heritage award.
The outstanding Eden Project is virtually on your doorstep. Beautiful beaches, truly magnificent coastal scenery, and picturesque fishing villages such as Charlestown, Fowey, Mevagissey and Looe are nearby as are many exquisite gardens and country houses including the memorable Lost Gardens of Heligan, the superb Lanhydrock Estate and Pencarrow.
Walking the coastal path, cycling the Camel Trail, golf, fishing, water sports, adventure parks, Bodmin Moor, investigating Cornwall’s ancient Celtic heritage …you will not find yourself short of things to do. Further to this the friendly advice on what to do and see in Cornwall is only a question away.
Or simply unwind … a glass of wine, swim in our indoor heated pool, a good book, unhurried time with friends and family … it’s not hard to see why the guests return again and again…
