Harbourmaster Hotel

Lovely experience at the restaurant. Food was delicious and very well priced. Good portion sizes and varied menu to select from. We sat in the bar area and the decor and atmosphere were perfect. Staff were incredible, extremely friendly, polite and went above and beyond to ensure we were having a great meal. They made our experience such a positive one and should be commended for the effort that they put into guests.

The standard that every hotel should attain to be.|Amazing location over looking the harbour. The public areas are excellent, modern while keeping the buildings charm. The terrace is the perfect place for a sunset and a beer. Good quality local beers on tap. Our room (room1) was perfect! A good space, good quality bedding, a very nice bathroom and a fantastic view. Breakfast was good.|The staff are all ultra professional and sincerely friendly.|This is a great find and we will be back.

We called in for a coffee due to the torrential rain , it was early in the morning and we had a small dog with us. Due to the dog we sat outside but it was under cover and overlooked the harbour where you could chill and drink your coffee . The coffee was very good and at a good price, the staff were very friendly and service was quick. we did not feel rushed in any way. I can highly recommend.

This is a great hotel which, unusually for a hotel, has a really good restaurant with good food, good service and reasonable prices. We had a room overlooking the harbour which was a good size, with a big and comfortable bed and a big, modern bathroom. We would recommend this hotel and its restaurant wholeheartedly. And Aberaeron is a lovely little town.

Excellent all round. A warm welcome when arriving with free parking. We had our complimentary coffee and cake out the front of the hotel after being shown to our room which was nicely set out with a lovely view of the harbour. We had a walk around Aberaeron which was quite lively and had a nice atmosphere. We had booked an evening meal at the restaurant and this was delicious, excellent service and excellent food. We had a good night's sleep and a delicious breakfast the following day.

Stayed here for two nights in August and loved it. The bathroom was huge and very well laid out. The room was well decorated and had all the amenities you could ask for, including a fridge! The hotel has a coffee and cake happy hour for residents which was a lovely experience. We had dinner there on the first night and the quality of the food was excellent. The only thing to be aware of is that there is limited parking at the back of the hotel but there is some a short walk away.

Just returned from a recent visit to this fantastic hotel. What a lovely hotel, location and restaurant. Everything was just “right”. Lovely room, quiet, clean, everything I needed. Lovely food in the restaurant. Location was perfect, seaview, habour, beach and town. Staff were lovely and friendly. Can highly recommend this hotel.

Decent music in the background. Slow to offer menu and drinks, then very slow after giving us our bill. We went to the desk to pay, as we appeared to be ignored. My starter of scallops with a Thai dressing was overwhelmed by the vinegar in the dressing. Putting a shell on top of other shells doesn't make for easy eating. My main of chicken supreme was fabulous. Best main I've had in ages! Hubby's starter was lush, pigs cheeks - but his main of hake in red wine jus was very salty. So we each had a good one and a bad one. Chef needs to look at these things.

The folks that work at this establishment are top notch. Uniformly. And that is not a coincidence. These people do what it takes to take care of their guests. The bar and restaurant are very busy. Deservingly so. The free continental breakfast is a culinary delight and the rooms are very nice. Stayed here for a few days and wished it could have been longer. When we found out we had no hot water in our room the manager came up personally offered us another room on the other wing of the hotel that had hot water. We thanked them and they assisted us into another MUCH nicer room and even offered to have the bar send some drinks to our room. Very classy and very well handled. But I do want to apologize to the Harbourmaster staff, five stars are all they will let me give you guys! Sorry!

This is a great little hotel, bar and restaurant in the very pretty town of Aberaeron. They have recently extended the bar and restaurant so can now accomodate many more people but I don't think it has lost any of its charm because of it. It really is the place to go in the Summer, people are spilling out of it clutching their drinks and the atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly. If you do manage to get a table to eat in the restaurant the food will not disspoint you. Most of it seems to be locally sourced and it has a very good and quite informative menu. It is a bit pricey, but its still a good place to go for a special occassion. I have taken my 2 oldest children there (8 & 6 years) and they enjoyed it but I don't think I'd want to take my younger two there as it would be too stressful. I've never stayed in the hotel but have heard that it is very nice, the photos in the brochure certainly seem good and it is in an amazing postion.

This is a hotel with a bar and restaurant. Great place to visit. The recent extension has included a much larger bar area which specialises in food. Always very busy and extremely popular. There is a separate restaurant, the food is excellent but I think too expensive. The food in the bar is slightly cheaper but just as delicious. There is a menu but also there will be specials on a board. Seating is a mixture of leather sofas and coffee tables, dining tables and chairs, plus high tables with stools and seating around the bar. Staff are friendly and very busy. In the summer drinks can be taken outside and you can sit on the harbour wall - superb. You do not have to eat when going in the bar you could just have a coffee. Children are welcome in the bar.

Visited while staying near Aberaeron. Went to both the restaurant and bar section on different occasions. Each time the food was very good. I felt the presentation and quality of the food was slightly higher in the restaurant, not to take anything away from the food served at the bar. Some choices you find only in the restaurant, some at both, some only at the bar. I get the feeling they reserve the more exquisite dishes for the restaurant. For example, the welsh beef in the restaurant is replaced by a burger in the bar section. The served was fairly speedy, without being rushed. The atmosphere in the bar is lively. There are a good choice of beers and lagers on tap too. Overall, well worth a visit. Warning - be sure to book for the restaurant, the sooner the better. We tried booking two days in advance and they were fully booked for the whole evening.

Have been here a couple of times now: the location is tremendous. On a summer's evening there's nowhere better in the world. Good, honest food (steak and chips, for example), well-executed and very friendly service. I will go back here again and again
