River View cottage was well placed for all amenities Aberystwyth has to offer. The cottage was ideal for those with mobility issues. No stairs to contend with, a beautiful level garden, easy parking right outside the door and easy access to the town. The views were spectacular and never failed to amaze!! To add to all this, the cleanliness of the property was impeccable. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay.

Absolutely wonderful stay at Riverview. Location is beyond perfect, exactly what we wanted with beautiful views, easy access to beach walks and the town centre walkable. Cottage was immaculately clean and well-equipped. Allison was a very helpful and friendly host and responded to our queries very quickly. We were very sad to leave at the end of our holiday and would recommend Riverview to anyone and everyone.
