“This four-star hotel strikes me as a genuinely family-focused establishment, where you'll find both indoor and secure outdoor play areas, plus a specialized children's menu; that level of detail makes a difference. I think the combination of a cask ale pub and modern dining - weekly specials included - makes it worth a visit, so I'd recommend considering this spot if you're in Aberystwyth.”
