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.
In the late'th Century Aberystwyth became a university town (1872). Although the University of Wales (formerly Aberystwyth University) remains small, during term time, the eight thousand students account for almost a third of the town's total population.
To meet the demands of the local, student and tourist population you will find that dotted about the town are countless bars, cafes and pubs. Ranging from the local type pub to the flash town centre bars there is plenty to choose from but few establishments rival Harry's Hotel And Bistro for atmosphere.
Harry's Hotel And Bistro is situated right in the centre of town and features a wonderful Irish Bar which often features live music. The recently refurbished Bistro has an open plan kitchen and a Modern Bistro style menu.
Aberystwyth's one way system can make things a little confusing at times so to get to Harry's Hotel you need to be aware that it is found on North Parade on the left hand side of the road on the one-way system.
Harry's Hotel is a great place to stay as a number of the town's finest visitor attractions are only a short distance away and Aberystwyth Railway Station is only around the corner (as is the town's Tourist Information Centre). The highly affordable rooms are both light and spacious and most feature a seating area (sofa or the likes), flat screen satellite television, Wi-Fi Internet and the usual facilities such as tea/coffee making facilities as well as a laundry/valet Service.
Aberystwyth benefits from being between two and three hours from such conurbations as Liverpool, Manchester, Cardiff, Birmingham and Bristol. If you will be visiting one of these cities on business one of the best ways in which to unwind after a hard week is to spend the weekend enjoying yourself at Harry's Hotel & Bistro.
