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 accommodationRead more. 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 Hide

Pumlumon apartment was perfect! We had an amazing week. The apartment is in a great location and when we werent 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 didnt cook because there are some Read moregreat restaurants and cafes nearby. It is thoughtfully and tastefully decorated which makes the apartment feel like home. I dont 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 werent 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. Hide

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.

The communications with the owner were efficient and friendly throughout. The key code access means you never have to worry about an actual key.

Possibly the best apartment we have stayed in during all our years of travel and we hope to return in the future. Hide

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.Read more 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! Hide

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

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.

In the info about the apartment there was no mention of 5 sets of stairs to climb and being in our 70s we found this very difficult. Also, there was hardly any hanging space for clothes, none for dresses at all. The living are was very small and not really suitable for 4 adults.
