The Glengower – A Favorite for Families in Aberystwyth
About the Hotel
Rooms with sea views
The Glengower has 16 en-suite bedrooms spread over three floors, many with views of Cardigan Bay. Rooms include a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi (subject to coverage). Some rooms face the rear of the building and lack sea views. The property has no elevator, and access to third-floor rooms is by stairs only.
Pub food and drinks
The bar serves award-winning cask ales, Welsh lagers, cask ciders, fine wines, and soft drinks. The menu features homemade pub classics like Sunday roast, alongside daily seasonal specials. Dishes use locally sourced ingredients, including seafood from Cardigan Bay. The sun terrace is open in summer, while the indoor space has an open fire for cooler months.
Near beaches and landmarks
The hotel is part of Victoria Terrace on Aberystwyth's seafront promenade, 500 meters from North Beach and Constitution Hill. The Cliff Railway is 300 meters away, and Aberystwyth Castle is 1 km. Free overnight parking is available on the road outside. Borth and Ynyslas Golf Club is a short drive for activities.
Original Victorian features
The Glengower occupies two 19th-century seafront villas, retaining original Victorian architectural details. The pub has rustic furniture and an open fireplace. Dolphins are often visible from the terrace in summer, while winter brings dramatic waves against the shore.
Practical amenities
Guests have access to ironing facilities, heating, free toiletries, and garden furniture. The staff can assist with local recommendations. The property is 100 km from Swansea, with bus and train connections available in Aberystwyth.
