“The Happy Union Stables is a great place to stay, tastefully decorated and comfortable.”
Karen and John are lovely and the cake on our arrival was a welcome touch as we had a very long journey. The pub is welcoming, as are the locals - we bumped into a couple of them in Aberystwyth by chance and they stopped to say hello! Everything for our immediate needs was provided (milk, tea, coffee etc). It is a great base to use to visit other places and Karen and John were mines of useful information with recommendations for places to go. We would certainly recommend the waterfalls at Devil's Bridge (not for the faint-hearted), as well as the steam railway (stunning scenery), the Elan Valley Dams and Reservoirs (magnificent scenery) and, if you want to travel that far, Caernarfon Castle (fantastic and fascinating history) and its surrounding quaint streets are well worth a visit! We were unlucky enough to have bad weather for most of our trip, but it certainly did not spoil our holiday - far from it, it made us think outside the box for places to visit. We would certainly recommend it to others and if we go back to Wales, would certainly visit again.
