Wales weekend away

[Clodagh]

Can any of you Welsh people suggest a really pretty seaside twon with a good hotel that would be a nice place to go for a weekend away? Scenic surroundings, boats (parked is fine) and a quality hotel that sells edible (not Michelin) food.
Youngest son went to Aberystwyth and said it was very pretty - was he right?

I love Tenby but have no ideas about hotels sorry.

 

[Clodagh]

Thank you, google can probably help with that, will look.

Conwy in north wales. Very pretty, castle, harbour, backing onto beautiful Snowdonia mountains. Easy to get to and fab restaurants too

 

[Clodagh]

Sounds good, DM, thank you.

Aberystwyth is more of a university town these days and the beaches are mostly pebble, the harbour isn't part of the centre of town. Aberaeron is known for its harbour, as is Newquay but I can't tell you about hotels etc. Have you looked on Tripadvisor?

I have no faith in tripadvisor with all the paid for reviews, so I thought I would try on here. I will look at Aberaeron. . Thank you.

Pembs/Freshwater West is very nice with some great places to eat. St Davids and Solva are very pretty with boats too . If we're going that way I generally book an AirBnB and then find somewhere to eat whenever we're hungry - that might be a better option than finding a hotel with decent food.

I really enjoyed my visit to Aberwystwyth last year-stayed in a slightly old fashioned but lovely hotel on the seafront, some nice eateries.

Anywhere in or around Tenby or the Mumbles is fantastic - I can't recommend hotels as its been a while & we usually pop for odd days or camp, but not had a bad one yet.

Aberaeron is lovely. Try the Harbourmasters hotel.

Second Aberaeron - had lunch last weekend at the Cellar, lovely Fish & chips

Also have a look into Pembroke (for the Castle), Cardigan (pretty river and rspb reserve) or Barmouth (lovely sandy beaches and hills)

I was going to say Tenby too - lovely beaches around that area.

 

[Clodagh]

OK. Very bad planning it is half term in Wales next week. But we have booked the Harbourmaster for Weds and Thurs night (only ones they can do) and will stay in Ludlow or somewhere on the way over.
Now I need to make sure the dogs know how to look after a teenage boy and three elderly parents...

If the weather is nice get down to Mwnt beach, the dolphins are already out in force.
