“A boutique seaside hotel with a strong sense of Welsh identity and impressive sea views. Traditional stone walls sit alongside contemporary fittings. A laid backed restaurant serves up excellent local food. Perfectly situated to make the most of this corner of Wales.”

Hotel review

On the site of a former rundown 1970s B&B, the new owners have ploughed £1m into redeveloping the Gwesty Cymru into an eight-room hotel and a 30-cover restaurant. The property has a very Welsh feel with lots of bilingual signage, Welsh slate and local produce, but it also retains a cosmopolitan air with an outdoor terrace for al fresco dining and colour-coded rooms, featuring artworks by local artists. Businesslike service will make it a favourite for Welsh Assembly staff relocating from Cardiff to the Ceredigion's resurgent seaside resort.
