Rebecca 10/10

Excellent location

Pros: Always a warm welcome and a wonderful stay Locate is exceptional wonderful views out to sea

Welcoming family run guest house with perfect sea view

Pros: This small guest house on the prom is perfect for a visit to Aberystwyth. I loved watching the sea from the chair and table in the window and could even see the starling murmuration around the pier. It is centrally located for all the amenities of the town. Room 1 on the first floor is a reasonable size with a firm but comfortable bed. The shower room is small but has all you need for a comfortable stay.

Cons: It's not a totally silent room. While I enjoy listening to the sound of the waves and the wind, this may not be for everyone, particularly when there is a high tide.

Fabulous seafront guest house

Pros: We really enjoyed our stay at The Helmsman. The room was very comfortable with excellent views out to sea and around the bay. A lovely Guest House all round. The breakfast was excellent too. It's in a fabulous location, lovely walks along the seafront and into the town. Also very well located for pubs and restaurants. Very friendly hosts, happy to share their knowledge of the area.
