Cardigan Bay, Aberaeron & Tenby

Beautiful Cardigan Bay has a spectacular landscape of rugged cliffs, award-winning beaches, wooded estuaries and wild inland hills. It is also a place of sanctuary for wildlife with regular visits from dolphins, porpoises and seals attracted by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The ancient market town of Cardigan set on the River Teifi estuary was formerly a busy shipbuilding port and was the home of the first Welsh Eisteddfod. See the 19th century Guildhall, the focal point of the town built in Gothic architectural style, plus the quaint narrow streets with their traditional shops, inns and eating places, many with their original Georgian and Victorian fronts.

All bedrooms feature television, telephone, hairdryer, iron/ironing board and tea/coffee making facilities. The hotel also features a spa with a salt water hydro spa, steam room, jacuzzi, sauna, heated loungers and gym. Lift to all floors.
