“What stands out here is a dedication to Edwardian charm, infused with modern touches like contactless check-in that solo travelers appreciate. I noticed the hotel sits just steps from Aberystwyth North Beach, with a focus on eco-friendly practices, and while breakfast is no longer served, the proximity to the seafront promenade offers plenty of options, I would recommend this place for a relaxing coastal visit.”
