4-star hotels in Cardigan
This shortlist covers the 4-star hotels and guesthouses on our Cardigan list, from properties 1.5 km from the town centre to coastal addresses at Gwbert, Penbryn and beyond. It is for travellers deciding where to base themselves for the castle, the Teifi estuary and the beaches of west Wales.
Staying in Cardigan
Cardigan is known for its historic castle, the tidal River Teifi, and its proximity to coastal scenery and beaches, and it is a centre of Welsh culture and language. For a visitor it works as a base for Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire, with coastal paths, beaches and market towns within reach, and the town itself is walkable once you are in it.
The hotels on this shortlist are spread around that base rather than clustered in one spot. Their addresses name Cardigan itself, Gwbert, Llechryd, Penbryn and Rhiw Y Rofft, and they sit between 1.5 km and 9.7 km from the centre: Ty Parc Guest House and Llety Teifi Guesthouse are the closest, Flambards Hotel and Gwbert Hotel a short drive out, and The Penrallt Hotel, Glyncoch Aberporth, Highbury Garden Suite and Bryn Berwyn further along the coast. Couples get sea-facing and garden options, families get family rooms and self-catering space, and The Penrallt Hotel covers meetings and events.
