Aberystwyth Holiday Lets
Stay beside Cardigan Bay in one of West Wales' best-known seaside towns, with a long promenade, beaches, historic landmarks and the countryside of Ceredigion on the doorstep.
Holiday accommodation around Aberystwyth includes seafront apartments, town stays, traditional cottages and quieter countryside properties outside the centre.
Staying in Aberystwyth
