My wife & I stayed for 3 nights (May 10th to 13th) and although the weather was not kind the hotel and Aberaeron more than made up for that. We were greeted like old friends(thanks Dai), the room was great with fantastic views from the bathroom and the bedroom (Cadwgan). We ate in the restaurant on 2 nights and the... More

This part of Wales is not my favourite destination but had to go on business so finding this hotel made the trip bearable. Really lovely hotel, room was clean, spacious, well decorated, with great views over the harbour. Bed was good and bathroom huge, the attention to detail was excellent, absolutely everything was thought of and provided. The bar is... More

Really lovely hotel in a great location. Plenty of enjoyable walks around the harbour and the village. Room looked out over the harbour. Food good but arrived late so limited seafood available on the night, cosy bar and good bar food. Really enjoyed the stay.

Stayed for 2 nights in the Albion room within the nice, pink cottage 2 doors away from the hotel. Location is beautiful on the edge of Aberaeron's small harbour and a short walk from the seafront and similarly to the Town Centre. Room was quite plain and basic but nicely decorated and very clean. Bathroom was very large and included... More

This hotel we found via the Alex Politzzis Little Black Book of Hotels. The second one we have stayed in from this book and so worth it!!! The position was second to none, we had the Madona room which was dual aspect one window over the harbour the other over the sea! The staff were very friendly and chatty and... More

Visited after recommendation from a friend. Booked Martha Jane which is a lovely room with sitting area, private terrace and massive luxury bathroom. Only minor negative was lighting poor for makeup. Need an illuminated mirror in the bathroom.Very attentive service. Breakfast was fresh and plenty of it if you wanted. Will definitely return.

Having to been to the Harbourmaster for a few years I was surprised to see the revamped bar area and gastro pub feel of the eating area rather than a separate bar and restaurant. It's good for Aberaeron to have such a lively, well located place to eat, drink and stay.

Normally would give The Harbourmaster a 5 star rating however for the first time ever we noticed a few things have slipped on our recent stay. Certain staff demonstrated a negative attitude especially one guy who worked in the bar and restaurant. This is not normal at Harbourmaster. There were mistakes and errors at dinner and we noticed two other... More

If you enjoy fresh seafood, the Harbourmaster is a treasure. There is always a good choice of fresh locally caught fish on the boards as well as an extensive menu of local produce. The food, whether you eat in the bar or the restaurant, is beautifully presented. Not to be missed

I had a single room at the Harbourmaster which I loved. It was small, but made great use of the space. The ensuite bathroom was big enough to use and the part of the room made narrower because of it had the desk and so on. I had a really nice view of the harbour, and I loved the natural... More
