셀틱 베이 게스트 하우스(Celtic Bay Guest House)

The guest house was perfect for me with location and how clean it was . Staff were very friendly and managed to check in a bit early as well . A very enjoyable holiday thank you .

We wont be coming back. We rang 17 times with a couple of important questions in the week prior to check in. No answer. On arrival we banged on the locked door for 20 minutes...no answer. Then a neighbour told us to go next door....which was actually a different name and different number. The guest houses were joined inside but nobody had bothered to tell us. The phone was ringing in reception...it was being ignored. Inside a labarinth of corridors, stairs, doors, etc to our room...in the original building for which the key was lost...so we could go out that door but had to come in the other door. Room was over 30 degrees and stiffling hot. We asked for a fan....they didnt have any. Windows were screwed shut!!! Receptionist said she keeps telling owner to buy fans but he refuses. We asked to move rooms and were allowed ...there were a lot of empty rooms ...but again stiffling hot and windows screwed shut. We met a man on the stairs..." Im not staying in this sh..t hole" he said and trundled his cases down the stairs. We rang around but nowhere else had vacancies so we spent evening in and out of the cold shower and dowsed ourselves with wet towels. Carpet threadbare, scuzzy fittings, filthy windows , etc....

Nice sea views, yet rather functional accommodation that could need some fixing up again. Pictures online look a bit better than reality. But for one or two nights it’s okay.

The chap on reception (might be the manager) was very friendly and helpful. Although there are narrow corridors, the hotel overall is not grim, and "feels" pleasant. It is certainly clean, which for an old building with the usual plaster cracks is some achievement. Getting a parking space is always a bit of a gamble that end of Aber. The public car park over the road at the back of the hotel is one we've used many times and never seen cars damaged or broken into. The mattress was horrible (the owners might call it "orthopaedic", I say "hard") and the pillows about the thickness of two thumbs. We had a sea-facing room and the table and two chairs in the window were a pleasant place to sit and look at the waves. The room is too small to fit a comfy chair in. There's a "cubby-hole" type wardrobe with iron, hairdryer etc, and the en-suite is small and functional. As a base for getting out and about, it would be great with a decent bed and pillows (at least you could sit on the bed in comfort, then). If you're young-ish and healthy, you can probably still sleep on a plank and be comfortable, so it wouldn't be a problem anyway. There is a large communal kitchen area, which is presumably why "self-catering" is mentioned by the hotel. There was a young family using the facilities perfectly happily when we were there, so it's probably a good option for a longer stay. Overall, I liked the hotel. But I like a decent night's sleep too. Upgrade the beds, will ya?

Only stayed for one night travelling up from South to North Wales. The hotel is well placed directly overlooking the beach. We were lucky enough to have a beach front room on the second floor, so the view was excellent. The hotel is close to all the beach front attractions an easy walk to restaurants and the peir. The hotel had a communal kitchen and common room, both were well equipped. The room had tea and coffee making facilities. There's no lift in the hotel so we had to carry out bags up two flights of stairs...not a complaint, but if you have any physical challenges this may not be the place for you. The room was small, very small with just enough room for the bed and a small table in the bay window. Likewise the bathroom was tiny, if, like me you are overweight you'll struggle in the shower. That aside the host was welcoming and helpful, the room and site were very clean and the bed was comfortable. It was a booked at a good price and if all you want to do is use the room to sleep then it's a great option. One last thing. Car parking it you drive there is likely to be a challenge.

After a long drive from Bridgewater, it was a welcome relief when we found ourselves at the Celtic Bay House and our host, Veronica, made certain that we got a nice room with a view of the ocean. We were fortunate enough to find parking at the car park to the east. We spent the rest of the day hunting for our forebears.

We really enjoyed our stay at Celtic Bay Guest House. We visited during Easter Break. At arrival I was greeted by a very polite receptionist. Room and bathroom were dated but clean. We had sea view, which was perfect. I suppose it can get noisy, but all guests were respectful and we had no problem with the noise. Essentials were included. A bit pricy for what it is, but I suppose that's due to the Easter weekend.

Stayed in #11 of Cardigan Bay Guest House and it had a gorgeous view of the ocean, size just right for one or two guests. Easy walking distance to most everything In Aberystwyth. Friendly staff! 50 steps up the stairs as it is on the top floor. Would stay there again.

Great budget accomodation with lovely sea views. Room clean and comfortable. Room a little bright at night due to outside lighting on the building coming into the room but only minor issue. Would use again.
