The Harbourmaster in Aberaeron, west Wales has regained a top Good Hotel Guide after a 20 year gap.
New owners of the boutique, harbourside hotel recently won the Good Hotel Guide ‘Best Hotel in Wales’ César Award for 2024. A similar award was achieved back in 2003 with the previous owners.

Winning the same award after 20 years, clearly demonstrates that the new owners, Wells and Louise Jones, have maintained the hotel’s high standards of hospitality and customer service along with their quality food and wine offer.
“We’re absolutely over the moon”, said Wells. “We’re so proud and delighted for the whole team at The Harbourmaster for the recognition this award has provided.
“Considering how challenging things have been for the hospitality industry in recent years, winning this award is a wonderful boost for the whole team, who work exceptionally hard to maintain these excellent standards. We can’t thank them enough.”

When announcing The Harbourmaster’s award, The Good Hotel Guide commented, “The striking blue exterior of this charming little hotel isn’t the only thing that makes it stand out. The former harbourmaster’s house also boasts sublime sea views from its maritime-themed rooms, which are named after different historic sailing ships. The top-floor suite is particularly sought after. Tuck into complimentary coffee and cakes when you arrive but be sure to save room for local specialities in the restaurant in the evening, including Welsh lamb and catch of the day”.
Prices at The Harbourmaster are from around £165 B&B per night for two sharing. Book through the Welsh Rarebits Collection, www.rarebits.co.uk or call 01570 470785.
