Had a great stay at the Cliff Railway. Nicely decorated and spotlessly clean in a great location. Owners friendly and responsive.Only thing we would change is the wifi. Fine for browsing/email but not strong enough for streaming etc.Looking forward to a return visit.

Our stay at The Cliff Railway apartment was amazing! We slept really well, it was very quiet at night and the beds are super comfy. The apartment is well equipped, we were able to prepare meals and enjoy eating them listening to the sea. The location is perfect for the town and strolls along the seafront, we were so lucky to catch many starling murmurations during our visit in March. The Cliff Railway is amazing, the staff are so friendly and a trip to Constitution Hill is a must! Great cafe and the view is breathtaking. We love Aberystwyth and this was the perfect place to stay, hope to be back 🤞

We had a wonderful week which began with a very warm welcome from staff. The cliff railway was only open at weekends, being low season, but we went up and down twice and the views were spectacular. The apartment comes with free railway passes. The cafe at the top of constitution hill was excellent with very high covid cleanliness standards and delightful staff. The smart TV has netflix & BBC iplayer. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and the shower unit was very clean. The apartment was warm and cosy (we were there during a stormy winter week). The sea views were a bonus. There were a few issues (nothing that would stop us going back) but the sofa and single armchair in the lounge would not be sufficient for four adults. There were some small cleanliness issues (perhaps because we were the first guests following the second Wales lockdown). The windowsills in the kitchen and bathroom were very gritty and dusty with a few dead flies and one of the kitchen cupboards had leftover food items as did the freezer (which also had 2-3 inches of old ice on all the shelves). We would stay again and the minor issues have not put us off. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We enjoyed a relaxing week in this apartment which is warm, light and comfortable with great views of the sea. Free trips on the cliff railway are a bonus (their covid precautions were exemplary) and we did not find the trains at all disturbing. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Very modern and tidy apartment on the seafront with everything you could need for a beachside town break. Being right above the cliff side train I expected it to be a bit noisy but we didn’t even notice the trains and they only ran between 10 and 6, as the listing described (I expected some staff to be going up and down outside of these hours but they seemed to use the road at the back instead). Communication with owner was excellent, immediate and friendly response. Not a negative, just an observation but the apartment WiFi has a lot of ping, so for kids trying to watch things on iPads in the evening or play games online, its not ideal but it’s fine for web searches and there are some board games to play instead. Can definitely recommend the kite sanctuary about 15 minute drive down the road, with a pleasant tea room and newly build play area for the kids.

A qwerky flat. Excellent for two or four people provided that they can manage the dozen or so stairs at the entrance. Evening events may mean the railway is used into the night, so be prepared for some, but not excessive noise. We will be happy to return.

Really lovely stay. Saw dolphins in the bay most days. Great location and the cliff railway is great with a lovely cafe. Staff in the ticket office were really friendly. Only one complaint. Amazing views from the apartment hampered by the grubby outside windows.

The views from the Cliff Railway Apartment were amazing. Some windows look out to the sea, another looks down a long street to Pen Dinas at the far side of Aber and the bedroom windows look out at Constitution Hill and the Cliff Railway. Though the building is Victorian, the apartment is completely modern and warm and comfortable, even for an early spring break.

It wasn’t the best weather as we arrived during Storm Erik and the sash windows did let quite a bit of a breeze through. But when the storm had passed we managed to get out and enjoy the promenade walk and took in the small town of Aberystwyth. We especially like Mikeys Cafe as we had young children and there was a small play area available. The student population also gives the town a youngish feel but we didn’t feel out of place.
