"Für eine Nacht ok."

6.0

Die Aussicht auf das Meer.

Das Badezimmer war sehr klein, und die Spülung der Toilette hat nur einmal funktioniert und danach nicht mehr. Für eine Nacht auf der Durchreise ist die Unterkunft in Ordnung, aber für einen längeren Aufenthalt würde ich sie nicht empfehlen.

"A welcone from the owner and a must for future srays"

9.0

The location to the centre of Aberystwyth is perfect, especially for walking to and from local restaurants at night. The host of (Helmsman) the guest house gave us a warm welcome and directed us to our room, perhaps also realising we had travelled for a few hours and needed a rest, so the welcome was perfectly managed. The room was great, we paid a little extra for a sea view, where we sat with a glass of wine and enjoyed our people watching. We later went to a restaurant for our Saturday evening night out. Despite being a beach front location, there appeared to be little noise. We hardly heard any passers by or traffic, despite having the window open slightly. A good night's sleep was had and I could hardly believe the night's sleep soon lead to breakfast time. Fresh coffee, juices, toast and a cooked (Welsh) breakfast set us up for our morning of activities before our journey home. We checked out with a nice pleasant conversation with the owner, who made us feel one of the family. We will only consider this guest house for future visits to Aberystwyth !

The toilet seat was wobbly and needed attention. But didn't spoil our stay. WIfi was poor and the QR code doesn't integrate with all devices !!!
