Set in the hinterland of Aberystwyth, to which it is linked by the Vale of Rheidol narrow-gauge railway, this imposing hotel,rebuilt in 1838 for the owner of the Hafod estate, adjoins the famous Devil's Bridge (actually three bridges, vertically stacked) that overlooks the Mynach waterfalls and dramatic wooded gorge. Welcoming to families and dogs, the bar is linked to the main hotel by a large tearoom where Sunday lunch (carvery) is served; other meals may be taken in restaurant, tearoom, or bar. Stunning views, unsurpassed walking opportunities, and splendid birdwatching abound in the vicinity.
