Description

Pumlumon Penthouse apartment covers the top two floors of a beautiful seafront Victorian terrace house, right on the glorious Aberystwyth promenade. The apartment is tastefully furnished in a 'seaside calm' style with modern and elegant fixtures and fittings. The large bay window in the open plan living area allows light to flood into the room whilst framing the magnificent uninterrupted sea view. The apartment is in a peaceful yet central location of the popular holiday resort of Aberystwyth, a stone's throw away from the beach. There is also an abundance of lovely independent shops, pubs and restaurants within a few minutes walk of the property. It really is a foodie heaven, with options to suit all tastes and budgets.

Aberystwyth is on the west coast of Wales, equidistant to the cathedral city of St Davids and the surfers' haven of Aberdaron at the western tip of the Llyn Peninsula. Within the town, there is Aberystwyth Castle and you can take a walk up Pen Dinas Hill to take a closer look at the 1850s monument, erected as a memorial to the first Duke of Wellington. At the northern end of Aberystwyth promenade, rising dramatically from the sea, Constitution Hill offers stunning views of the town, Cardigan Bay, and on a clear day, 26 mountain peaks spanning much of the length of Wales. To reach these spectacular views you can travel by train on the longest funicular electric cliff railway in Britain, which has been transporting visitors to the summit since opening in 1896.

For larger groups, there are several properties within the same building that can be booked together or individually. The apartments include; Pen y Gader Apartment, Pumlumon Penthouse, Hyddgen Apartment and Elenydd Apartment.

Reviews

We very much enjoyed this apartment. View of the bay and the sound of the waves was amazing. Apartment was very well equiped and the decor was lovely. I liked that the host had set it up well for recyling including kitchen waste. It was obvious that considerable care and planning had gone into making it a very enjoyable and workable accommodation. Location was great for walking the promenade (across the street) and close to bus or train if needed. Beds were good. It was quiet for sleeping although that may not be quite the same if there in high season. Overall very happy with the space and it was as described which is always appreciated. And a lovely welcome basket with Bara Brith, coffee, tea etc! Thank you

Ms C,

Lovely stay in a great location. Wonderful views so you can sit and relax. Standard of accommodation is good and you have everything you need.

Mrs H,

Location excellent. Everything you could want for in an apartment that was home from home. Parking space was a real bonus. Overall a lovely stay.

Mrs T,

This really is an excellent holiday apartment perfect for sea views and cormorant spotting. The kitchen is well equipped should you not want to use the nearby restaurants. There are a lot of stairs but were easily managed by a couple of mid 70s and are worth it if only for the pleasure of relaxing in the window seat and watching the sunset . We will definitely return.

Mrs J,

Our second stay in this lovely, well equipped flat…with parking!

Mrs D,

Pumlumon apartment was perfect! We had an amazing week. The apartment is in a great location and when we weren’t out and about exploring the area we were sat in the armchairs by the window watching the stunning seascapes and sunsets. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed, although to be honest we didn’t cook because there are some great restaurants and cafes nearby. It is thoughtfully and tastefully decorated which makes the apartment feel like home. I don’t think I have ever felt so relaxed whilst staying in holiday accommodation. We were sad to leave and we are already missing those views. The apartment, as per the description, is a penthouse apartment on the top two floors of the building, however the stairs weren’t an issue and did not cause us a problem. Indeed we saw them as an advantage to work off some of the extra calories we had consumed over the week!! We would definitely recommend Pumlumon apartment to anyone who is planning a trip to Aberystwyth.

Mrs G,

A fantastic apartment, super clean, comfy and well equipped. Fabulous location, ideal for exploring the area or for simply idling away hours watching the waves !

Mrs D,

Lovely quiet apartment, stunning sea views & people watching and thoughtful welcoming gifts.

Mr A,

Amazing apartment, everything you could need, comfy beds, hot showers and fabulous views. Beware of the 59 stairs though but it’s definitely worth it,

Mrs G,

We had a lovely stay! Beautiful, well equipped apartment with stunning views in an excellent location. Will definitely return! Diolch

Mrs R,

It was a lovely, well equipped apartment including dishwasher and washer/dryer which came in handy when my husband decided to go for a dip in the sea! We recommend Harlech Castle and it was very easy to get there and to other attractions from Aberystwyth. Great to have a car parking space too. We had a lovely time celebrating our son’s 21st birthday.

Mrs S,

This is a superb apartment in every way. Great location directly on the promenade with wonderful, relaxing sea views from the bay window. Beautifully styled and decorated and lovely quality to everything provided. We could not have asked for more. There are several short flights of stairs to the top floor but worth the effort for what you find when you reach the top. The communications with the owner were efficient and friendly throughout. The key code access means you never have to worry about an actual key. Plenty of information provided on things to do, places to go and recommendations for good eateries. Possibly the best apartment we have stayed in during all our years of travel and we hope to return in the future.

Mrs S,

Excellent location in a well presented apartment.

Mr B,

We were very happy with Pumlumon Penthouse for our week in Aberystwyth. The whole property is in excellent condition and feels classy on arrival. The apartment itself was much more spacious than we expected and, of course, enjoys spectacular water views! The furnishings are of a high standard and tasteful, so the apartment feels warm and luxurious. The hosts have thought of everything here, so we enjoyed being able to cook our own food sometimes in the well-equipped kitchen. The apartment is at the top of the building with many stairs to access it, so it's not a good option for those who might have difficulty with stairs (especially with luggage). The car park was handy but very tight in terms of access especially when both spaces were in use. We've stayed in Aber 20+ times over the years and this is by far the most comfortable and spacious accommodation we've enjoyed. For not much more than a B&B, this apartment offers so much more and we highly recommend it for anyone wanting to be on the Prom with every creature comfort!

Dr H,

Gorgeous apartment in a perfect location. Would definitely recommend!

Ms E,

The information really needs to say that the penthouse is only accessed by stairs. I had assumed that there would be a lift. I would not have booked otherwise as I suffer from chronic arthritis. This made climbing 4 flights of stairs very difficult

Mrs Diane D,

This is a lovely well-equipped flat, with no noise pollution from the environment, however, there are 50 steps from pavement to the living area of the flat which I think should be clearly stated. The kitchen area, beds and bathrooms were all excellent with comfortable beds but the sofa/chairs were not very comfortable.

Dr M,
