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!

An introduction to Aberaeron

The location was perfect to anything you wanted to do while in Aberaeron. Having the river so close kept you mindful of the elements. It will be great to come back when the harbour is finished with the renovations.

Great break

I was looking for a getaway and this was perfect. Right in the middle of the town, set on the river with a short walk to the harbour. Lots of little shops around and plenty of choice for places to eat. The apartment is clean and spacious with everything you need. I have already recommended it to others.

Riverside retreat

We had a wonderful week at River Aeron Retreat. The property is extremely well equipped, comfortable and in a lovely location. The terrace is an added bonus and a lovely place to sit and listen to the river flowing by and to bird watch. Aberaeron is a very pretty town with an interesting heritage. It’s conveniently located to visit other places such as New Quay, Aberystwyth, Cardigan. All communications with Rhian and Alan were excellent with very prompt responses. Alan provided useful parking info and we were able to park without problems very nearby. We would love to return to this lovely property and area.
