Aberaeron’s harbourside is a sight not often seen in Wales, a Georgian-inspired cluster of dwellings painted all the colours of the rainbow. And there, at the entrance, is the most striking of them all. The Harbourmaster Hotel – forgive the pun – continues to make waves on Wales’s hospitality scene. The Grade II-listed building, once controlled the harbour traffic. In 2002 it was reborn as a stunning hotel and restaurant, emphatically throwing away the old rule book from the days of the dinner gong and lukewarm baths.

It’s the creation of Menna and Glyn Heulyn, a well-travelled couple who know what they like. In their case this meant bringing a dash of cool, contemporary style to a fine old building. It’s a hotel in the modern idiom – clean, chic and unfussy – that hasn’t forgotten its roots. The bedrooms, complete with state-of-the-art bathrooms and all the little (and big) touches of luxury, are finished in the colours of the sea, sky and sunsets. The Harbourmaster’s roots show through in other ways too. Welsh and English blend seamlessly in conversations in the bar and on the menus. And the outstanding food comes with a distinctly local flavour – try the Welsh Black beef or seafood – in well-balanced dishes that again reflect today’s tastes. Menna and Glyn aren’t the kind to rest on their laurels. They recently acquired the old sea aquarium next door (as seen above) and are busy turning it into a funky bar and additional rooms, opening 2008.
