Little gem with fab host

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 Sept 2016via mobile
We stay with John every year. It's the little things that make a difference. It's spectacularly clean, the towels smell of softener and not bleach, like at the big hotels. The rooms are very well appointed and cleaned daily. John is the icing on the cake, he's very welcoming, helpful and funny and gets the balance of guest banter and service spot on. His breakfast is fresh, eggs are perfectly done and service is quick. If you get a room with a sea view, then be prepared to relax in comfy chairs and spend hours people watching and looking at the sea. Fab place.

We have been coming to Yr Hafod for a number of years and wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else in Aber. John is the perfect host and the welcome and rooms are absolutely spot on. Genuinely cannot fault it. Looking forward to visiting for many more years :-)

The accommodation is maintained to a very high standard. The host is exceptional, and cares sincerely without being obsequious. To top it all, the genuine sea view from the rooms at the front makes for a proper holiday experience.

As a single female traveller I was made welcome even before I arrived, quite literally during my telephone booking! John is a most welcoming host and in good supply of amusing banter! His guest house is superbly clean and comfortable with spectacular sea views, a delicious Welsh breakfast and an openness to assist in anything that might enhance your stay in the charming town of Aberystwyth. My single room was without an ensuite but the shared facilities were not only very well appointed but practically for my own use. The only question is, not where to stay, but for how long at Yr Havod?! Thank you for making my weekend, visiting my daughter's recital at Musicfest, so relaxing, Jacquie

Room tip: Ask for a room with a sea view.

The wife and I booked into Yr Hafod for an overnight stay, while visiting friends and relatives. A very warm welcome from John and he outlined the times for breakfast - which turned out to be a full Welsh. The on suite room we had was excellent. Very clean, spotless and plenty of facility for making your own cups of tea. There was a huge walk in shower in the bathroom which was a delight. I think this is the best B and B I have had the pleasure of staying and would highly recommend it.

Room tip: You will enjoy your stay which ever room you stay in. Personally I would recommend any on suite room

Yr Hafod guest house has great sea views being located right on the sea front. It's a short walk into the town and there is usually plenty of room to park the car on the road nearby. The rooms are very clean, modern and the beds are comfortable. The service at breakfast was excellent and John was very helpful. An ideal place to stay if you want to explore the area.
