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.

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!
