Harbourmaster Hotel Aberaeron: rooms on the harbour
The Harbourmaster is a hotel in a historic building right on the harbour at Aberaeron, the Ceredigion seaside town known for its brightly painted houses. Booking.com says it has 13 bedrooms and calls it a five-star property. It also says the hotel won the 2024 Cesar Award for Best Hotel in Wales at the Good Hotel Guide Awards. Our Aberaeron guide covers the town and the coast.
The rooms
Harbourmaster Hotel Aberaeron has Double Rooms, Double or Twin Rooms with a sea view, Superior King Rooms, a Junior Suite with a sea view and Deluxe Doubles with a balcony. Rooms have a private bathroom, a TV, tea and coffee things, and chocolate for guests. Some have a bath or a walk-in shower, air conditioning, a balcony or a harbour view, and the photos show one with a roll-top bath.
Guests on Booking.com score the location 9.7 out of 10, the cleanliness 9.6, the comfort 9.6, the staff 9.6 and the value 9.0, with an overall 9.2 from 639 reviews. One guest wrote that the hotel has become their favourite place to stay.
Children older than 5 are welcome, and children of 18 and over are charged as adults. Cots and extra beds are not available. Pets are not allowed. Booking.com says cash is not accepted here.
Eating and drinking
The restaurant serves modern British food built around local produce and seafood, with beef and lamb, and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes. Breakfast has continental choices, a full English or Irish, pastries and juice, and can be served in your room. There is also a bar and a coffee shop, and outdoor tables face the harbour. The hotel has a lift, room service and free parking on site.
Facilities
Booking.com says outdoor seating faces the harbour, and the hotel offers menus for special diets, a lift and room service. Some rooms have a minibar, a microwave, a fridge, a work desk and a seating area. Wheelchair-accessible rooms have grab rails and an emergency cord in the bathroom. Breakfast costs £18 on rates that do not include it, and one guest wrote that both breakfast and the evening meal were first class.
What it costs
Rooms start from about £147 a night. That is based on a Double Room for two adults with breakfast included, at £294 for two nights in March 2027, on a partly refundable rate. The sea-view rooms were £294 too, and the suites cost more. Check your own dates on Booking.com, where the Harbourmaster scores 9.2 from 639 reviews.
Aberaeron from the door
The hotel stands on the harbour itself, so the quay, the boats and the painted houses are outside the door, as the photos show. Booking.com lists Aberystwyth Castle about 26 km away and Aberystwyth University about 27 km.
Who the Harbourmaster suits
Harbourmaster Hotel Aberaeron suits couples on a special break, and adults who care about a good dinner and a harbour view. Families with children under 5 will need to look elsewhere.
