Gwesty Cymru in Ceredigion

Only visited the basement bar which was lovely with a great atmosphere

We have just spent the weekend at this lovely boutique hotel on the seafront. A very warm welcome from all the staff in the team and this continued throughout the stay. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Our room was beautifully presented and super clean. There is a lovely bar and eating area at reception. We shall definitely be returning. Many thanks to Gareth, Hannah and all the team.

We were looking for a nice intimate restaurant for the Saturday evening of August Bank Holiday weekend. Having left it to the last minute as in a few days before, we had our doubts of finding one. I gave Gwetsy Cyrmu a call, not expecting too much. To my surprise, they were very accommodating and managed to fit us in (a table of 5). We are glad they did. It was for a mini family reunion and we all had a great time. The food was tasty and the ambience also helped set the tone for a relaxing stress free evening. The staff made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived and the service was excellent throughout. We never felt rushed at any point, and in fact we were the last guests to leave. Whilst the restaurant is nice and cosy, the place also looks a good spot to have a cold drink or two on a warm Summers day or a Sunset evening. We sat outside and enjoyed a drink with a view before we were seated. Cold San Miguel on draught hit the spot.Thank you for a superb 5 star evening.

This seafront Welsh restaurant is without doubt one of the finest eateries in Ceredigion. We dine all over the UK and Europe but hold Gwesty Cymru in the highest regard. Beautiful food, beautifully cooked and presented, is complimented by friendly, attentive and professional service, which, combined with the great kindness shown to our elderly friend, was a model of its kind. We have yet to be disappointed. Head Chef Jones, has his own style, but it is one which clearly shows the influence of his time with Michelin greats like Pierre Koffmann, Michele Roux jnr and Marco Pierre White. (And I have to say that on one occasion, during his absense, the cooking of his second chef was of exceptional standard.)Our last meal was of pan roated breast of pheasant, crispy bacon, cabbage Koffmann, fondant potato and DaMhile apple brandy sauce. Cooked to perfection the food painted pictures of Tante Claire and La Gavroche. Our desert was Chocolate "Crunchie" with Halen Mon salted caramel sauce. Well, the rich solid chocolate played the main melody and caramel sauce with crunchie sang the descant. Rich and truly wonderful. A good selection of wines and liqueurs easily ensures that any meal will be complimented perfectly. We very much look forward to our next visit in the New Year and until then send to all our warmest Seasonal Greetings.

We visited this restaurant as it was rated the top three on trip advisor. However, we were severely disappointed. The only reason we're not rating this is a 1 star is because of the starter.For starter, we had a pumpkin and apple salad at £7 which was delicious. It was presented really well and was full of flavour. For main, we ordered the hake with squid ink risotto at £19 and slow cooked welsh lamb at £20, with a side order of chips. The hake tasted very basic and quite salty. The risotto did have quite a bit of flavour, however there was just too much of it and so the dish got quite repetitive and boring. I would have much preferred to have some vegetables with a reduced portion of the risotto. It was definitely not worth £19 due to substance and taste.The welsh lamb was a relatively small portion, and the mashed potato tasted like something that had been microwaved. The lamb was nice, but nothing special, which you'd expect for that price. Overall, we felt we could have cooked something of the same level and we're not the best cooks!For dessert we ordered the crunch at £6.50 and the pana cotta at £6.50, The crunch lacked any real effort. It was just a solid block of chocolate, with broken cinder toffee on top and caramel sauce. The chocolate block was so dominating that I couldn't finish it. If I'd have known it was just going to be a solid chocolate block then I wouldn't have ordered it . It definitely could have done with either more sauce, or a smaller portion so it wasn't so dominating. The pana cotta was nice but again nothing special. It was simple pana cotta with a few berries on top. The menu not he table also mentioned about a crumble with the pana cotta, but there was no crumble. The menu online doesn't mention the crumble, so maybe there was a mistake on the menu on the table. Our table wasn't he best as it was right by the door, so every tie someone left you felt the cold. The restaurant is quite small so not a lot of choice in terms of seating. It was also quite busy, so if you did want to visit then I'd suggest booking. The service was slow, however there was a group of 7 in and all eh tables were taken However, since there's only about 6 tables in total and there were three servers, potentially it could have been quicker service. Total bill for two people, three courses, and two diet cokes was approx. £80 which we think is extortionate for what we got If however, all meals were served to the standard and quality of the starter, then maybe we would have been a lot happier with the price.Overall, we would not recommend.

My favourite restaurant in Aber. Really love it. Always a warm Welsh welcome, with some fantastic food. Try the breakfast scotch egg for starters, but you won't go wrong with anything on the menu!

Had a very good Sunday lunch here, excellent location on the sea front... only downside is the parking.....

I only came to eat here and was in my own. I was made very welcome in the cosy dining space. Food was excellent. Staff were great.

The restaurant is in the basement of the hotel with views to the sea. Cosy and comfortable on the last night of the season before they closed for Christmas, we enjoyed a lovely meal surrounded by Christmas-partying locals. Beautifully cooked food with lots of local produce. Highly recommended for ambience and food.

Fantastic restaurant very friendly helpful bilingual (all Welsh speaking) staff All 3 courses were delicious and good sized portions Prices were reasonable Will definitely be going again Thank you to all for making our sons 21st birthday lunch such a lovely experience

Group of 6 with a vegetarian. Great menu. Excellent food and atmosphere. Wine was excellent. Would definitely recommend as a place to eat out in Aberystwyth. Must book as it gets very busy.

We stayed here for two nights with a tour, and couldn't have been happier with our stay. Our room was very comfortable. Modern bathroom. Great breakfast, pleasant servers. Definitely the place to stay in you are in this area of Wales.

After a long 4 hour drive, we stumbled on this restaurant whilst ambling on the sea front in the September sunshine. The staff were friendly and the service was very efficient, the atmosphere was very relaxed and warm. A sensible limited menu with Welsh produce presented plenty of choice. The "arancini" starter and pork belly main courses were both excellent and plentiful, all washed down with a very good bottle of South African Pinotage. All very sensibly priced and very enjoyable, highly recommeded.

We have visited this place many times the food is always outstanding with great service, The food is always very well presented with excellent flavour. Thank you for your great work and taste. The fish I had today was outstanding

What can I say apart from excellent. Booked table service excellent menu brilliant as always ,food we all had different and each one was brilliant . Once again you get what you pay for. Well worth every penny .

We went there because we wanted some Welsh food. However, I was disappointed with the set lunch. The price of £16 was reasonable - however, after a nice starter of fish cake, I then was served a giant plate of pasta with bits of seabass...it was dry, tasteless and very hard to eat. I left half of it - and would have left more if I could. I don't think sea bass goes well with tagellini. Or maybe the chef should have tried serving the fish chinese style with rice. However, I had to ask for parmesan and chilli sauce to try and make it more appertising... it was futile. The team was great- nothing wrong with them at all. The ambience was good too.

Meals are varied and very tasty. Nothing was plain or bland. If you want a meal that is in every way superior to regular British fare, try here.

Each time we visit Aber, dinner at Gwesty Cymru is a 'must'. Quality ingredients are transformed into delicious meals and we have never been disappointed. Very occasionally the service has been a bit hit & miss (possibly inexperienced staff) but the amazing food makes up for this. It's a small restaurant so to guarantee a table advance booking is advised. Drinks on their front patio overlooking the sea and watching the sunset & the starlings is magical.

Wow what a great evening we had for our son's 21st birthday. The staff, atmosphere and food was exceptional. We would recommend the steak and chocolate crunchie dessert!! Nerys deserves a special mention as she couldn't do enough for us. This place is well worth a visit and you won't be disappointed.

Returned to out honeymoon venue of Aberystwyth. Found this superb resteraunt. Very welcoming, good service and an excellent meal. Superbly cooked Skate special delicious tender lamb and a chocolate dessert that curled my lips. 😋Highly recommend. Steve and Louise.

Waited a very long time for starters and then mains. Salmon raw in the middle. Terrible anniversary meal. Staff very apologetic.

Lovely vegetable risotto and great service. New chef so look forward to going again soon. Sat outside as it was a glorious summers day. No pressure to move on and good Americano coffee to finish off

Gwesty Cymru served us one of the very best meals (in our case, lunch) that we ate in Wales. Oh, my! Just thinking about it makes me wish it were closer so that we could visit more often. The chef knows how to layer subtle flavors so that the dish ends up surpassing the ingredients he (or she?) uses. I ordered the £9.95 "Meal Deal" of Risotto, but this had to be the best Risotto I've ever eaten. Other family members ordered a plate of prawns, smoked salmon and soup (£10.95), and a rarebit and soup (£6.95). We shared a cheese platter (£8.50) for dessert. Every bite was exquisite. Our server, Huw, also deserves high praise. He understands fine dining, met our every need, and deserved a nice tip, which we were more than happy to leave.

On a birthday visit to Aberystwyth we were looking for some where special for a meal and booked Gwesty Cymru.

Don’t miss out on this great family restaurant—Fish excellent! Generous portion, great service. Food hot and served in a timely manner. Would definitely return if we could get reservations—very popular place.

Treated ourselves for my birthday and had a really great meal. Fully booked (operating two sittings) but the service was still excellent. Somewhat limited menu although we all found something we wanted, but would struggle if we went there more often. Would definitely recommend.

Beatifully cooked and presented. The seared scallops were exceptional. I ordered my steak rare, as this often means that I get the medium-rare that I like. This was the case here. Very peased and would happily return. Possibly the only really good restauant in Aberystwyth to open for dinner on Sundays

We had three courses (scallops, lamb, cheese) and two courses (cod and chocolate mousse) with drinks for £88. Great value for this quality.

Found this place just using Google maps and had no idea it was so popular or so good. Really lucked out. They were busy and squeezed us in. You can tell the food is made in house. The soup was outstanding. The risotto was a meal in itself and the flavors blended together so nicely. My friend ordered pasta and was delighted with every bite.

We were a walk-in at about 6:00 pm and were able to be seated immediately. The service was friendly and efficient. We both had the scallops starter which was delicious. One of us had the the duck special, the other the chicken. Both were superbly cooked, with excellent sauces. We shared the cheeseboard to finish which was an excellent way to finish our meal. Even better was that the meals were reasonably priced.

Went to this loverly restaurant on 2 occasions on our first full day and the last night. We decided that this was certainly the best restaurant in Aberystwyth which is why we wanted our last meal there. Over the two visits we had the chicken and cod which was delicious and a loverly bottle of Shiraz. The next visit we had the Duck & Plaice for main the Mushroom to start and shared and the chocolate mouse and the sorbet. A lovely bottle of Viogner and some other occasional drinks. Cant really fault this place as the food is excellent and service superb. Special thanks to Beth, Hannah, Neris & Huw for their great work ethic and pleasantness. Highly recommend this place to anyone. Thanks again Joanie & Andy

The food was stunning with the bread and butter pudding made with bara brith and whisky marmalade one of the nicest puddings I've ever eaten. We didn't have starters so to be sure to leave pudding room and this meant a very long minute) wait for the main courses (they brought us some bread and oil about minutes into the wait to keep us sweet). Service was a little slow and it isn't cheap, but I certainly wouldn't put anyone off going.

I previously visited Gwesty Cymru as a student and had the best Sunday roast of my life. When I visited Aberystwyth this weekend for the first time in 5 years, I simply had to bring my boyfriend here. I'd bigged up the Sunday roast a lot and it completely lived up to all expectations. Amazingly succulent fall apart beef, beautifully cooked parsnips, and crispy roast potatoes. Simply to die for.

Only stayed one night but hotel really top class, decor of a high standard we were in room 4 purple room overlooking the sea, great view sitting in comfy armchairs in our room. Breakfast really good (I had the breakfast scotch egg which was great) wife is coeliac and has to eat gluten free but no problem for staff, would highly recommend it.

Two members of staff working that evening, both very pleasant and efficient. Tommy was especially welcoming and warm, friendly and attentive. A very pleasant evening meal, Thai fishcake to start and guinea fowl on bed of mashed potato, everything delicious!

We came late, without a reservation but outside seating was found for us and we were well looked after by our tireless waitress. This is not a fast food restaurant, so slow down and enjoy the ambience, the passers-by and the sea beyond while waiting for your meal Meals are prepared to order and once arrived our rack of lamb and fillet of hake was excellent. The restaurant has an extensive wine list, wine served by the glass or bottle. This is a simply "must do" when in Aberystwyth.

Stayed for 2 nights when visiting family. Breakfast excellent with great choice and good portion size. Service friendly with recommendations of places to visit. Would be good if the bathroom in the smallest room could have a refresh as slightly tired and the mattress appeared soft. Nevertheless would highly recommend this place as great value for money

Quite simply, a Gem of an eatery. So very glad we found it. It will be our go to destination, whenever we visit Aberystwyth .

I was recently researching for a restaurant to take my wife for our anniversary meal and read some good reviews about this restaurant. I then found out it is also a hotel, we decided to stay for the evening and we were not disappointed.

Visited here for dinner as a group of 6 from London, along with welsh friends. We found most restaurants in aberystwyth were closed on bank holiday Sunday but found this place open. I couldn’t fault, the food was amazing (lamb especially), staff super friendly with a warm and lovely ambiance. Great view over the ocean especially as the sun was going down during the long May sunshine. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Had the best toffee vodka shots as well (and we drank them dry). If I was ever back in aberystwyth I would come here.

Visited Gwesty Cymru for one night and stayed in Room 8 on the third floor. Brilliant service started from arrival when the young lad at reception carried my partner's case up to the room on the third floor. Room was amazing - modern decor using local Welsh materials, exposed attic truss and walk-in double shower.

My wife and I travel 60+ miles at least twice each year to visit for lunch - stunning food, fantastic staff all at a reasonable price

Had the platter to share and was excellent value for money, the food was delicious and presented beautifully. Good selection of wine and drinks.

Gwesty Cymru is the restaurant for the similarly named hotel on Aberystwyth seafront. The restaurant part is down some steps (might be difficult with mobility problems) and - for it's reputation - smaller than I expected. Parking is a problem in Aberystwyth so you might want to bear that in mind if travelling in, otherwise it's in walking distance of some of the other hotels on the seafront. We had both lunch and dinner there and it's worth booking because it was fairly busy on a May weekday, even (probably) before the main season. Staff service was very good and there weren't long waits between courses and the courses were very good! There's a fair amount of overlap between the lunch and evening menus with lunchtime offering a range of smaller options including salads. I had a 10oz sirloin steak at lunchtime with a side of garlic mushrooms along with the very good chips. I asked for the steak medium rare and it was cooked a little on the rare side but that's my preference rather than being overdone as it was full of taste. The garlic mushrooms were, pleasingly, full of garlic taste and altogether the dish worked well and didn't need additional seasoning. The dessert was a nice, tangy apple and gooseberry crumble. The price for the steak was £21 which I thought was very good value for such a good meal. In fact, we had such a good lunch we booked in for dinner as well and enjoyed a 3 course meal. Service wasn't included but for the price and the staff attentiveness I thought a tip was well deserved. Welsh and English are spoken in the restaurant and it was a comfortable enough environment for me to try out my less than extensive Cymraeg vocabulary.

Very good food and very well presented. Open Sunday night which around here is very useful. Daube of Welsh beef was the high spot.

Das Lokal ist klein und gemütlich.

Just had a really nice lunch here, great value for money, we had sharing platters which I can highly recommend! Friendly staff, even the toilets are nice although they are upstairs so check about access if you have mobility problems. I couldn’t fault it!

We haven't been to Gwesty for a couple of years, had lunch there today and the food was fantastic with great service, highly recommended.

My husband and I visit this amazing little restaurant every time we visit Aberystwyth. The food is lovely and the staff always give a warm welcome. The lunch time sharing platters are really nice and good value. You must visit this restaurant you won’t be disappointed.

We have been coming to the hotel regularly every year for the past 9 years and we always have an evening meal here. Due to illness I did not visit last year but we have just been for 2 nights and the standards have not stopped. The food is still great; all well prepared and cooked with decent portions. They use the local lamb and beef which have great flavour. The restaurant does a super homemade scotch egg (available for breakfast and as a starter in the evening) accompanied with a potato rosti and special tomato sauce; it is so good I asked if they would sell me one to take home but no such luck! If you are in Aber the restaurant is well worth a visit; we will be going back next year!! Try the local Tomos Watkins Magic Lager as well,

Only had a meal here but it was simply delicious.

Not just a great position but super staff, food and the sea view rooms have a fabulous view over Cardigan Bay.

Birthday treat for our son. We’ve been many times before but usually for lunch sitting outside. But on several occasions for dinner at night. The food is excellent. Steak cooked to perfection. Duck also cooked pink. Lovely. Chicken paprika lacked some substance in the sauce, very bland. Lovely pudding of bara brith bread & butter pudding. Lovely night.

We booked ahead for Saturday lunchtime,

Quiet place just along the sea front. Very nicely prepared food and very tasty. In the summer time best to book to be sure of a table if their is more than 2 or near peak eating time.

I had the vegan mushroom risotto, the flavours were amazing , really enjoyed . The others had the steak and all enjoyed . Given 4 stars as the portions are small for the cost .

The first thing that you notice is the friendly and warm welcome. There is a good range of choices on the a la carte menu with a seperate menu on special occasions. We sat down to our starters, a wholesome welsh rabbitst and a delicious fishcake. We all had a fillet of cod from the special menu for mains on a bed of mashed potatoes and green beans. This was a sumptuous meal. There is a good range of wine and soft drinks. The Pinot Gricio was pleasant. The whole meal for three people came to just over £90. Service charge is not added

I called in for a meal on my way home from North Wales recently having heard rave reviews. I certainly wasn’t disappointed by the food - it was simply stunning. I was very impressed by the wine list too - they even had mead! My favourite! The service was friendly and my food was served in a reasonable amount of time given how busy it was. The only slight negative is how small it is. They seem to have tried to fit as many tables as possible in, so it was a bit chlaustrophobic. The waiters even kept brushing against the coat on the back of my chair every time they passed, which was rather annoying. Other than that though, it was great.

We both like good food and rarely do we go anywhere where every course is equal to the previous. Gwesty Cymru was fantastic. food delicious. service just right, friendly but not intrusive. We dont mind paying if the food is good nd although we are not rich it was so good my husband rounded it up! Will definitely return

Went for a Christmas meal (£22-50 for 2 courses) but the only thing I had was a cracker that was very Christmasy!!. I was disappointed. The food was OK for nouveau cuisine- not my idea of Christmas fare though.

This was a real find. Great place to stay (see my other review) and an amazing place to eat. The food was exceptional. All scores out of 10: Scotch Egg 9.5 Risotto 9 Lamb 11! Crumble 10 Sticky Toffee Pudding 15!! Service was excellent too.

A wonderful stay at the Gwesty Cymru, a 50th birthday treat from my wife. We stayed in the white room, which is at the top of the hotel with a great view of the sea, many stairs to climb! But well worth the climb.

We stayed at the hotel for a couple of nights. The breakfast was superb, evening meal was good especially the daubed of beef, very small restaurant so with a large group it was very noisy.

We had tried this restaurant many years ago , and found the menu to be broader than before . We settled for 2 lighter dishes , the fish duo , and platter ( several choices ) . Both were lovely - service was quick , and friendly .

Delicious food with attentive service. Homemade soup, thai pork strips or the cod goujons were all lovely starters. Slow roast daube of Welsh beef main course was superb and highly recommended, accompanied by horseradish mash, confit parsnips, veg and red wine gravy. The disappointing thing was that they did not provide gluten-free yorkshire pudding, although we’d booked well in advance and explained. The same thing happened with the dessert I’d ordered beforehand which was pear, ginger and blueberry crumble with honeycombe icecream - only no crumble at all for the gluten-free, just the stewed fruit but with sorbet offered as a replacement for the crumble. Although the sorbet was delicious I was really looking forward to having a crumble and stewed fruit just isn’t the same! That’s the reason for the 4 star rating. I’d happily recommend the place but not if you’re a Coeliac.

Fab meal really lovely, restaurant is a bit small and it was very busy but still enjoyed it ,would go again

Came here on a recommendation but was sadly disappointed.

We opted for the special menu. I ate Lobster Bisque as starter which was very tasty (the only but would be that I missed some lobster meat, but the taste was outstanding). As a main course I ate sea bream fillet with risotto which was amazing. The price we paid was worth it.

We had a 24 hour break to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary and I wanted something special when I fell upon this little gem. It was just what the doctor ordered a lovely cosy intimate restaurant, with gorgeous food. Hubby had the scotch egg to start followed by the super tasty lamb dish, I had the seafood duo and a perfectly cooked steak. Fabulous choice of drinks and discovered Aber falls gins!! We are currently trying to think of another excuse to visit Aberystwyth and the lovely Hotel Gwesty…… we will be back x

My first visit with a group of friends,staff were great and service very efficient,we only had mains,food arrived quickly,I had a platter of chicken,prawns and cod gougons,it was ok,bit of an odd dish,the meat and fish were tasty but looked overcooked, the bread was dry,and the coleslaw was a unpleasant potato salad,overall I was disappointed as had heard such good things,the most off putting thing was how noisy it was,not a big space and it was full, the noise was difficult and did spoil things a bit as we couldn't hear each other speak..I will return at some point but aber has much better to offer so will be a while...

We were a party of 6. The service was very good and attentive. When ordering food 2 ordered the lamb and we were warned the lamb was pink - this would have been our preference. Unfortunately the lamb was quite well done with no hint of pinkness. Likewise the medium rare steaks were well done.

My friend and I sat outside in the sun to eat on a Friday evening - which is a treat in itself with the sea view. While I’m used to the consistently high standards of food at Gwesty, on this occasion my expectations were surpassed by the amazing starter on the Specials menu - Crab and pea verrine (crab salad on a pea panacotta served in a glass). I liked the sound of it so much that I ordered two! I loved the presentation as well as every mouthful - a truly spectacular starter (see photographs). Although we both enjoyed all our courses, this dish was particularly memorable.

This was a great Sunday lunch. The beef was tender and melted in the mouth. Chicken was very tasty and complimented by chicken gravy rather than generic gravy. Pudding was lovely and a good wine selection. Booking is essential.

Kleines stylisches Restaurant bei dem eine Reservierung unbedingt zu empfehlen ist.

We found it on trip advisor and so glad we did. There was no availability anywhere else and we was shocked when we got a table so easy! The food was tremendous my beef was so tender and tasty. Will definitely be returning.

Het hotel is meest bekend om zijn restaurant waar dan ook niets op aan te merken is.

This cannot be a full review, as it is baseed on one meal taken in the front garden. I cannot comment on the inside resaurant. We took the last available table on a warm May evening and watched the sun set as we ate.

Haben Nachmittags noch einen Tisch für 4 Personen reserviert, das war auch gut da wir gelesen hatten das es nur ein kleines Restaurant ist. Das Restaurant gehört zu einem kleinen Hotel direkt am Nordstrand und ist sehr schön renoviert worden.

The restaurant is very small and generally noisey. The food is excellent but over priced as is the wine list. Lovely service.

My sister and I had a delicious meal here for one of our special occasion nights out during a week long trip around Wales. My sister really loves veggies and the chef was so accommodating in meeting her requests for lots of veggies with her fish. The staff went above and beyond to may our visit special. The only negative aspect to the evening was the sound inside. I think it's likely due to the shape of the room, but it was extremely loud despite only a few other people inside. They were laughing and having a good time, which I can't fault them for, but I don't think they realized how loud they were. It was difficult for my sister and I to have a conversation. I think in the future I would sit outside if possible.

A beacon of haute cuisine in the culinary desert that is Aberystwyth. Stayed there recently and chose to have 2 evening meals in this restaurant. The staff were charming, the traditional menu and choice of wines interesting, and the food delicious! Judging by the difficulty of booking a table and the fact that the restaurant was full on both occasions, we were clearly not alone in judging this restaurant the best in Aberystwyth. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

We had diner here tonight and it was fantastic! Got tired of eating in typical fish & chips food corners, we decided having a good Welsh diner. This place was recommended on Trip Advisor by many and they are dawn right! Lamb, steak, fish (sea brass) and vegetarian, it was all very good with a very polite priced glass of wine!

Pob un, great short menu,sensible price for a meal that is prepared with a passion and served with a smile and with grace.Gwesty Cymru offers tables to dine inside and outside.There is a small cute bar where you can be served a pre dinner drink while you are given time to choose your meal before sitting down at your table.(we have always pre booked)The dinning room is always clean,the tables are laid up perfectly,the tables are cleared quickly with no empty plates or used glasses.once your meal has been served you will be gently prompted if there is any thing else you need and if the meal is ok.At all times you are never rushed,you get the feeling that the table is yours till you are genuinely finnised,well done Gwesty Cymru.The wash rooms are plesent and tidy.As stated when the weather allows you can dine outside and when we have dined outside our meal has never been ruined by other diners smoking.I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of staff who have always made us welcome.If in Aber pre book and have a gorgeous experance.

After stumbling upon this restaraunt 12 months ago we drove 62 miles on a round trip from Tywyn for lunch - and it was just as great as last year.

We managed to get a last minute reservation and were pleased we did. The food was delicious and not unreasonably priced, although it wasn't cheap. You get what you pay for in this case! The staff were really attentive, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Would certainly go back if ever in the area again.

We really really liked this restaurant. Three of us had dinner here on a balmy July evening. We really enjoyed the prompt waiter, who was funny and very good. Two of us had the broccoli/blue cheese chowder, which was excellent. The other diner had the lamb appetizer, which was cooked perfectly pink. For entrées, one had the lamb rump, one had the special of the day fish dish, and one had a vegetarian dish, a stuffed corgette. There was a nice wine selection. We watched the sun beginning to set over the Cardigan Bay seashore. Prices were very reasonable for the excellent quality. A definite recommendation for any diner.

Great value and truly delightful, although small venue. FOOD always inventive and delicious - thank you!

We were in Aberystwyth for a day trip by the sea and seeking somewhere to lunch but were disppointed that the choices seemed poor and far between. We stumbled across this place and took a chance to get out of the scorching sun. The waitress was very welcoming. We only wanted something light to eat so opted for Welsh Rarebit and a salad both were very good. We were not impressed with Aberystwyth itself but if we returned we would certainly try this restaurant again.

My parents visited Gwesty Cymru on 2nd July for a quick drink in the sun while out for day in Aberystwyth. We have visited this place before and it has a lovely place to sit outside when the sun is shining. They only ordered 2 drinks, 2 lemonade with a dash of Lime. These two drinks came to £7!! I know soft drinks can be expensive but charging £3.50 for a lemonade and a dash of lime is ridiculous. It has put them off going back in future which is a shame as the place and the food is lovely.

After a superb visit to the Coliseum Museum which we could not praise enough my wife, two grand daughters, a boyfriend and decided lunch should be at Gwesty Cymru.

My wife and I have been staying here when visiting Aberystwyth over the last eleven years. The standard of welcome, food and general level of service over this period has remained consistently excellent. Well done all!

Delikate, traditionell walisische Küche bei stilvoller Atmosphäre und einem gelungenen Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Tipp hierbei: das original Scotch Egg

I was in Aberystwyth on a beautiful, sunny day and needed lunch. I was initially tempted by a quick sandwich or a take-away from a fish and chip shop, but in the end I decided to seek somewhere with more style. I happened to pass Gwesty Cymru (which I had heard of previously) and decided to give its restaurant a try.

Regularly eat in this, our favourite eatery in the whole of Ceredigion. Excellent food both at lunchtime and in the evening. Also a great place to sit outside and people watch on the promenade. Can’t fault the food, staff or service. We would recommend Gwesty Cymru anyone and can’t speak highly enough of it. 11/10.

Start with drinks on their outdoor patio, then move inside to the quaint, cozy restaurant for an excellent meal. Well worth the visit to this little hidden gem of a restaurant. Pro tip: make a reservation!

Loved this hotel and loved our room - white room (room 8). It was just perfect. Spacious, comfortable, lovely decor, romantic, amazing bathroom and a great sea view. Your right at the top of the hotel so you didn’t hear other guests coming or going, which for me, was great as I’m a light sleeper. Really lovely to hear the waves, very relaxing. Would love to come back. Highly recommend!

Always a friendly welcome and superb quality food. Worth booking ahead as it can get very busy. Arbennig!

Tucked away below the Gwesty Cymru Hotel, this is a compact bistro restaurant with a delightful decor.

The hotel was good, not excellent. The room was nice, but the carpet in the hall and stairway needs to be cleaned. Our room (blue room) has sea view with two chairs in front of the windows so we could see the sunset from our room. The food in the restaurant was very good, although the house wine was very moderate.

We booked for the 6pm sitting - there are 2 sittings each evening. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. The feel of the restaurant is quite relaxed. There isn't a lot of space between each table but you don't feel as if you are sat on top of each other. The food was absolutely amazing. The scallops to start were perfectly cooked and my main of plaice stuffed with prawns was heavenly. It was an amazing meal - the best of our four night stay in the area.
