About this property

Riverside Apartment in the heart of the Harbour Town of Aberaeron

River Aeron Retreat is a beautifully refurbished waterside apartment set within a charming period, Grade II listed building. The wider property was sensitively modernised in 2000, with the apartment itself thoughtfully updated again in 2017 to retain its character while offering modern comfort.

Perfect for two guests, this stylish apartment sits directly on the banks of the River Aeron in the heart of Aberaeron, a picturesque Georgian harbour town known for its colourful buildings and vibrant coastal charm. A wonderful selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs are just steps from the door, and free, unrestricted residential street parking is conveniently located nearby.

Ideally positioned for exploring the West Wales coast and countryside, River Aeron Retreat sits midway along Cardigan Bay, equidistant to the market towns of Aberystwyth and Cardigan. The popular seaside village of New Quay is just 15 minutes away, offering beautiful beaches, dolphin-watching boat trips and a range of water sports.

Guests are perfectly placed for local attractions, including the National Trust’s Llanerchaeron estate, Cardigan Castle, the scenic Vale of Rheidol Railway to Devil’s Bridge, and the Wales Coast Path which passes right through Aberaeron.

Your stay includes fresh towels, bed linen, a complimentary starter pack of Nespresso pods (10), full-fibre broadband, Freeview TV, Sky Entertainment via NOW TV, and Netflix access — all at no extra charge.

The apartment was full of character, in an excellent location. If you're looking for something a bit different, this waterside apartment with a balcony and private outdoor space is a perfect retreat. Clean, fully equipped and interestingly decorated it's a great place to feel away from it all but with all the amenities of delightful Aberaeron one minute away. Couldn't fault it!

Aberaeron River Retreat

This property is well suited for easy access to Aberaerons shops and restaurants. The kitchen was barely used but well equipped. The outdoor snug area was very nice cosy and comfortable. I would recommend and return.
