Wales is widely known for it’s beautiful countryside of lush green hills and valleys but the country also features some of the finest coastline in the United Kingdom. Found on the west coast of Wales is the small, but lively, town of Aberystwyth which looks out across the Irish Sea and is backed by three gorgeous Welsh hills. The town’s harbour is fed by the confluence of the rivers Ystwyth and Rheidol and is extremely popular for water sports such as surfing.
Although the beaches of Aberystwyth do not feature soft golden sand like the many others along the Welsh coast (the sand is very gritty) the harbour is an immensely popular venue for water sports. Running the length of the beach is a wide promenade with some fine Victorian/Edwardian buildings overlooking it.
Ever since the late’th Century Aberystwyth has been a University town (the university college, Aberystwyth University, was established in’72) and today the University of Wales (as it is now called) has an enrollment of around eight thousand students annually. As the population of the town is around sixteen thousand the students account for roughly a third of the total population during term time.
With such a youthful population, throughout most of the year, the town has a substantial number of cafes, bars and pubs. While most are lively places to visit it is hard to beat the atmosphere of Harry’s Hotel And Bistro.
Harry’s Hotel has recently been refurbished and now has a Modern Bistro style menu and an open plan kitchen. Situated in the very centre of town the hotel has an amazingly lively Irish Bar which can often be a venue for live music.
Although Harry’s is centrally located the Aberystwyth one way system can confuse some folk. As long as you remember that the hotel is located on North Parade on the left hand side of the road on the one-way system you shouldn’t have any difficulty finding it.
Harry’s Hotel is within easy walking distance of many Aberystwyth visitor attractions and it is found not too far from the town’s railways station and Tourist Information Office. The hotel benefits from having large spacious rooms which are light and airy. The majority of rooms have soft furnishings, flat screen satellite TV, Wi-Fi Internet and a great many other common facilities and some more usual in more luxurious accommodation.
If you will be visiting either Bristol, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester or Cardiff on business, some time soon you might want to consider spending the following weekend at Harry’s Hotel And Bistro. There is simply no better way in which to relax after a long weeks work and each of the mentioned cities is no more than a two and a half hour drive away, and such a pleasant drive it is too.
