Giving Julian's guesthouse an 'Average' score seems like being mean to a good friend, as he is a truly lovely host. The welcome was 1st rate, complete with a pre-arrival text and good communications. He is so attentive and enthusiastic and gives this guesthouse a really personal touch which you often don't get anymore. Many places have a bland atmosphere... More

A great place, I came here to celebrate our anniversary and everything was perfect. The setting is wonderful. The sauna was amazing and overall we had a most enjojable time. Hope to come back again!

My husband and I stayed here for 3 days in September. We had dinner each evening, and Julian - our host - prepared three wonderful meals. Since we were visiting from western Canada, we were keen to try local fare; we particularly enjoyed the lamb Julian prepared the second evening. No meal is complete without good company, and we enjoyed... More

The guest house is situated about a mile from the uni so was ideal for us visiting our son who is a student there. We loved the place from the moment we arrived.

However parking was tricky and without Julian's help we might not have found the property. The big downside was that I thought we had booked a different room, and the white... More

The owner telephoned us before we left home to give us a new telephone number, in case we got lost trying to find his guesthouse in the dark. This was a nice touch. We did get lost, but eventually found it by ourselves. I had booked a twin-bedded room at this guesthouse because of its proximity to Aberystwyth University where... More

We came over for my sons graduation and really had a great time. Julian, the host was most helpful and did his best to make sure everything was perfect. We loved the views over the green lush countryside. The sauna was amazing after a busy day. We really feel that The Shelley Guest House offers an amazing experience which one... More

My wife and I stayed two nights in late May in the room with the glass ceiling and had dinner both nights, courtesy of Chef Julian. The room was very open and airy and quite comfortable, with a private entrance to the shared shower, toilet and sauna room. It was a little rainy, but the sound of the rain on... More
