Hotels in Cardigan

Teifi-town hotels — castle-and-quay base, not an Aberystwyth promenade room.

Cardigan hotels sit toward the castle, Teifi quays and market streets — useful if you are mixing a Teifi stop with the estuary. Confirm parking; Saturday fills the streets. Aberystwyth promenade rooms are a different product on the same taxi table.
