George Borrow Hotel – A Favorite for Families in Aberystwyth

The George Borrow Hotel offers 9 individually designed rooms with private bathrooms and views across the Rheidol Gorge or the rear garden. Guests have access to two guest lounges with log fires, a bar with a pool table and dart board, and a leafy garden where cream teas are served. Secure garaged parking is available for motorcycles and bicycles, and there is a drying room for mountain bike gear.

The hotel's traditional restaurant serves homemade meals, including a full English breakfast with fried bread and Welsh lamb broth. Evening menu options include a Chinese stir fry with homemade sauce and a beef pie with puff pastry crust. Breakfast is cooked to order and served in a dining room with large windows offering mountain views.

The hotel sits a mile from the Nant-yr-Arian mountain bike trails and is surrounded by walking tracks and fishing rivers in the Cambrian Mountains. Cardigan Bay is a 20-minute drive, and Aberystwyth's sandy beaches are 15 minutes away. On-site recreation includes canoeing, cycling, fishing, horse riding, and mini golf.

Family rooms are available with extra space and views of the garden and waterfall at the back of the property. The hotel offers board games, pool table, dart board, and cream teas served in the garden during good weather. Evening meals can accommodate vegetarian and vegan requests, and a children's menu is available.

The hotel's rear garden overlooks a waterfall and has benches for watching red kites and other birds. Sun umbrellas and outdoor seating are available in the beer garden with views of the Cambrian Mountains. Paths from the garden lead directly to walking tracks along the Rheidol Gorge.
