The staff were really friendly and all Welsh speaking. Because of a major construction project affecting all the harbour area, there wss inevitable disruption but totally outside Harbourmasters' control.

Superb hotel in a great position

An absolute brilliant hotel. Great location. Our room had a wonderful view of the harbour. It was very spacious well furnished and very well equipped. Scrupulously clean. Appreciated the full size bath and the comfortable bed. Couldn't fault it. The restaurant was very good for both dinner and breakfast. Staff extremely friendly. Great stay.

Stunning

I have eaten in the Harbourmaster many times but never stayed. I arrived after a long drive and they made sure I could eat, the food was to die for, the room was one of the best equiped I have ever stayed in with lovely views of the harbour. This morning in a rush to leave the staff would not let me leave until I had grabbed a coffee and a breakfast bap to go. Fantastic friendly staff and a stunning location, cannot say more than that

Lovely hotel but with some negatives.

Not easy to find - some clearer directions may have been helpful. Received a warm and friendly welcome with complimentary tea/coffee and cake - outstanding. Room relatively modest and only a small bed but what a view - worth the cost on its own. Nice quality bathroom and bathtub. Breakfast service very slow - around an hour when we wanted to be away.

Stayed overnight for work. Stunning setting with wonderful views from the bedroom. Staff very helpful and they made a delicious bespoke vegan breakfast for us (though dry out for vegan sausages for future visits). The only downside was that the rooms were incredible hot at night meaning we woke up often dehydrated. We opened the windows but that did feel rather unecofriendly. But overall a wonderful place.

We always stay at The Harbourmaster when visiting this lovely part of Wales. It has everything you require for a great stay.....beautiful views over the harbour from bedrooms that have been thoughtfully and creatively designed to give clients a comfortable stay. The bar is brilliant, lively, chatty and full of character and characters! They have great range of drinks with very tasty local food cooked in a modern hearty style. The restaurant echoes the bar but gives the diner a quieter and refined experience.Breakfast is brilliant. The staff are fantastic, very client focussed, knowledgeable, kind, professional, efficient yet happy to chat in Welsh or English. We keep returning because this is a hotel that cares about its customers, cares about quality and cares about being the best that Wales can provide. Diolch!

The area around the hotel was blocked off due to the work on flooding barriers and so I could not park the car in front of hotel where I would usually park-the hotel car park is very very small so I could not park there and I had to park my car at the very back by the sea wall and I was worried about leaving my car there. There were no notices or information about where to park car and the one way system in relation to the main street is very confusing and no clear direction-it is good that I know Aberaeron otherwise I would have been very confused in relation to finding the hotel and where to park! The hotel was wonderful and the staff lovely and helpful!
