The Glengower

The Glengower

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is a great place to stay - very well located on the promenade, close to Constitution Hill and not too far from the centre of town. The beach is directly opposite, perfect for taking an early morning swim as I did! (Just make sure the sea isn’t too rough). The hotel itself is a lovely period property - rooms are a generous size with a very nice en suite, large comfortable bed and plenty of furniture for clothes storage. My only slight gripe was that the toiletries could have been replaced a bit more frequently and also more milk provided for tea and coffee when it ran out. Despite being above a pub it was also incredibly quiet in the room, equalling a good night’s sleep (having said that, my room wasn’t seafront-facing so possibly that might mean a bit more noise - my impression is that Aberystwyth gets very quiet around 11pm onwards though). Breakfast was of a good quality with a range of decent cooked options that weren’t too much of the gut busting variety, including vegetarian and vegan alternatives. I also had an evening meal whilst there, a breaded pollock dish which was delicious followed by sponge pudding and custard - yummy! Lastly the staff were always friendly and helpful, giving info on local things when and where needed. Definitely recommended and if staying in Aber again I’d likely look up the Glen."
