I visited Wales for a long weekend at the end of March, and for part of my visit, I stayed at the Treffedian Hote. The Treffedian Hotel opened in 1904 and is a family-owned hotel located near Aberdovey with sea views and stretching over sand dunes and golf course at Cardigan Bay. I first stayed at the hotel in 2004, and I posted a couple of photographs during my visit.
I had a sea-facing room which also overlooked the golf course and a train track and the sand dunes.
The cost was room and board, and this included breakfast each morning and a four-course meal, and wine or alcoholic drinks could be purchased at an extra cost. The supper menu changed daily with different options, although there was not a lot of vegetarian selection with only one item per meal, which I did find a little bit of a challenge.
There are various rooms in the hotel to have a break and enjoy time outside the rooms. There were puzzels and board games.
Also during the stay, I received a free cream tea. This included tea and a scone. I had it in one of the nice rooms that overlooked the sea.
I decided to make my way to the sand dunes like I did with the others I traveled with in 2004. I remember walking up and through the sand dunes to find the beach, and I did the same this time, but I forgot just how high the sand dunes are. I did not make it to the beach this time, but I had some beautiful views just before sun set.
On one day, I had a walk in Aberdovey, which is the nearest town. They fish in the waters here.
The hotel is comfortable and also has a pool, but the last thing I wanted to do in March was go to the pool. The hotel is modern but with the class of the old style when visitors could explore for the day and come back for their meal and then breakfast before they head out again.
