A stylish luxury two bedroomed upper apartment in a Grade 2 listed building in the centre of Aberaeron.

There are two spacious light and airy bedrooms, one double with a king sized bed, the other with two single beds, and a good sized bathroom with shower unit and bath. A notable feature is the excellent views over the “Square Field” and the countryside beyond. A lovely place to sit and watch the world go by. The Square Field hosts various annual events and festivals, including a Carnival, Garden and Craft Festival, All Wales Tug of War Championship, Welsh Pony and Cob Festival and many others. The apartment is situated within the heart of the idyllic holiday town of Aberaeron (voted best town in Wales 2016) with its picturesque harbour area and architectural interest. It is only about 250 yards away from the Cardigan coast. The town offers a range of facilities and services along with excellent restaurants, chic cafes and beautiful shops.

An elegant flat in excellent condition, well equipped in every way, and very centrally located in this pleasant town. The manager was helpful, considerate and communicative. The Vrbo website was tiresome.

The check-in process was really easy. The apartment was clean, had everything we needed and was much larger than we expected. It was also perfectly located within easy reach of the shops, beach and harbour.

The host was very helpful with keeping up in our travels. The apartment was very clean and very close to the centre of the village and harbour. We had a very pleasant stay, would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family. Thanks Moira.

Great Location in Aberaeron

This is a lovely flat right in the heart of Aberaeron. It overlooks the town green, and is walkable to everywhere in town. You can even catch a bus to other parts of Wales right outside your door. Nothing could be easier. The flat itself is nicely laid out and very comfortable. It's nicely appointed -- well thought-out. While it can sleep four (two bedrooms), it only has one bathroom, so keep that in mind if you have a group. It's definitely more comfortable for two -- and since we were only two people, we were very happy and cozy there. It truly felt like home while we were there. Moira is lovely to work with. We plan on returning next year!
