We booked very last minute on the Sunday evening of the bank holiday weekend. We were welcomed by Joan who'd booked us into an en-suite double room, as requested. The hotel overlooks the promenade and is within a reasonable walking distance of the shops and amenities. It's clean and warm. Breakfast was lovely. The staff/owners are all very friendly and...

As I was staying in Aber for a week I needed somewhere reasonably priced with en-suite and breakfast. For £35 a night inc. breakfast, this was a great find! The only thing wrong was the tv in the room didn't work, would rather it wasn't in there. Other than that, food was great, customer service excellent, bed pretty comfy, parking... More

Stayed for one night, and was pleased with my single room which was clean and had comfy bed, with new TV on wall, and small, but adequate en-suite shower room. Room overlooked the car park at rear and was on second floor (no lift in building). Breakfast was excellent, with fruit and yoghurt, plus cereals, fruit juice and full English... More

Fantastic spotlessly clean and tidy with a excellent breakfast served by friendly staff could not have been... More

Quaint little B&B right on the sea front. Sadly we booked too late to ahve sea view rooms but could hear the sea from the beack bedrooms which was lovely. Small, basic, clean rooms but just what we needed for our stay. Lovely breakfast and good service!

Had yet another good weekend, we have been coming here since 1995, have only missed two visits since then, as always we had a comfortable stay, the room was lovely, the staff were pleasant and very welcoming, Breakfast was beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful stay, will be back 25/10/2013.

This is probably one of the cheapest guest houses on the sea-front at Aber. We were lucky enough to get room 1 which is on the first floor and has a view straight out onto the prom. Overall the place seemed clean and tidy so no issues there. The lady who greeted us seemed polite enough but didn't show us... More
