The George Borrow Hotel - Aberystwyth

gorgeous Plynlimon mountain views, cozy bar atmosphere with log fire, secure motorcycle garage

The reception area feels cluttered!!! The Wi-Fi connection could be more reliable!!! Limited options for dining outside of busy hours!!!

Overall it was big size with a great view. Stunning and marvellous location in the nature was a plus. Thoroughly enjoyed food selection, meals were excellent and they have a huge variety of options.

We enjoyed coffee and scrambled eggs at breakfast.

I found the room layout challenging due to a high window and had a minor issue with noise from the bathroom systems. Great for short stays, especially for enjoying the nearby gardens.

Units with an extra comfy bed.

Had a lovely stay! The breakfast was fantastic with gluten-free options, and the contemporary dining area let me enjoy great views. Just wish the room was bigger. it was snug for two. Would definitely return!

A simple breakdown of my vacays

Excellent stay! The owner welcomed me heartily and accommodated my motorcycle perfectly. The room was spacious and bright, and the meals were really good. Breakfast fueled my day wonderfully. I enjoyed the cozy bar atmosphere and friendly locals. The setting is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, being right on the Cambrian Way.

The room was super clean with wonderful views of the ravine and waterfall. The hearty home-cooked meals, especially the breakfast, were fantastic, and the bar had a cozy log fire to relax by.

A small shower room.

Awesome stay in Ponterwyd 🌄

The vibe here is so warm, ya! The staff are like family, and the food is straight-up delicious-try the garlic mushrooms! Then there's the mountain view from our room-a real koppie view, lekker to chill and breathe it all in.

Just a bit chilly in the room, only one radiator working, but not a biggie.

Great meals, lovely bar vibes, but parking was limited during peak times.

The staff provided a lovely welcome, and the cozy atmosphere in the bar, especially with the log fire, added to the charm of my stay.

The location is fine, providing beautiful views and ample parking space, especially for cruiser bikes. The bar atmosphere is great, mixing both locals and guests.

The reception area feels dated and cluttered, resembling a time capsule stuck in the 1970s. The double room I got had a high window that restricted movement around the bed and offered no real view. Noise from the plumbing was quite disruptive-especially in the morning when it sounded like a heavy machinery operation. Breakfast options were limited and not particularly fresh, with incomplete items left over from the previous day, made for an unpleasant sight. Lastly, it was annoying to have to schedule breakfast times when the idea is to relax and take your time.

I loved the comfortable rooms and the gorgeous views from the dining area while enjoying my meal.

pleasant stay with a lovely atmosphere

The mountain views from the bar were amazing. The bar environment was cozy with a log fire. The meals were generous, particularly at breakfast, hearty and well-cooked.

The reception area felt a bit dated and cluttered, impacting first impressions.
