Wales is often called the “little big country” and is well known for it’s beautiful hills and valleys. Aberystwyth is excellently placed on the west coast of Wales with the harbour being fed by the confluence of the rivers Ystwyth and Rheidol. The seaside town is surrounded by the Irish Sea to one side and three hills to the other and though small it is an excellent place to take a vacation.

Though the two beaches at Aberystwyth can be described as “gritty” they are extremely popular, especially with surfers and lovers of other water sports. Popular since Victorian times the wide promenade features mainly Victorian and Edwardian buildings which help create a splendid frontage.

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 large student population you will find plenty of pubs, bars and cafes dotted around the small town but few compare with Harry’s Hotel And Bistro for atmosphere.

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.

The one way system in place at Aberystwyth can confuse some people, Harry’s is easy enough to find as it is on the left hand side of the road on the one-way system along North Parade.

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.
