We visit Aberystwyth regularly and have returned to the Dyffryn Castel Hotel a few times. It is particularly convenient as it is halfway along the main mountain pass into Aberystwyth. The location makes it very quiet- you are surrounded by sheep, however the traffic noise does impact if you are in a room on the roadside. There is ample parking... more

My husband and I were booked to stay here for two nights at the weekend, but couldn't leave fast enough after one night. Our room was tiny and yet had a double bed and bunk beds, plus other furniture which made it impossible to move around in. The bathroom had no shower over the bath and wasn't clean in all... more

My retired mother and I have just returned from a relaxing and very pleasant weekend at the Dyffryn Castell. Our welcome was friendly and our twin room was very pretty, with everything we could have needed. All the accomodation was spotless and the views from the window were breathtaking. We found the food well cooked, if a little conservative, but... more

It's also very close to Devil's Bridge and Mynach Falls and has a private car park. The owners were friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, and the pub and game room downstairs were very convenient. Our room was cozy and clean,... more

Whilst the public areas seemed reasonably clean and tidy, the accommodation was a different matter. Low standard of hygiene in bathroom - carpet had not been vacuumed for years, shower curtain mouldy, shower tray was cracked and grimey. Surrounds heavily dusty. Unable to get a good shower with water temperatures fluctating from boiling to freezing. Bin not emptied from previous... more

The location of the hotel is terrible, far from Abeystwyth and any other town, and right by the side of th road. Upon arrival at the hotel we were greated in a most unpleasant manner and told that our reservation was not for that day, as we were sure it was (later they checked and we were right). We were... more

On arrival at Dyffryn Castell Hotel I was slightly underwhelmed by the exterior of the building, maybe after seeing the photographs on the internet I expected more, the thoughts in my head were thinking "Have I made a mistake?" "could I have found somewhere nicer had I not booked already?". "Anyway" I thought, "best go inside and see what this... more
