Aberystwyth's seafront draws families and couples for its Victorian charm, the long promenade and the funicular railway that has carried visitors up Constitution Hill since 1896. Cliff Railway Apartment occupies the floor directly above the railway's ticket office, giving you front-row access to this working heritage attraction. The property is yours alone, with parking on site and wifi throughout.

Ground floor holds the kitchen, fitted with electric cooker, microwave, dishwasher and fridge-freezer, plus a washer-dryer. Upstairs, the living and dining room opens to views over the railway itself, and there are two bedrooms: one with a double bed, one with two singles. A shower room completes the layout. Bed linen, towels and heating are included. The railway runs seasonally from 10am to 6pm, and your welcome pack contains free passes for unlimited journeys during your stay—the carriage rises slowly to the hilltop, where views extend across Cardigan Bay. One pet stays free of charge, though the property does not permit smoking.

The apartment sits 12 steps above street level. Families with young children can request a highchair and stairgate on booking. The location suits anyone wanting easy access to the town's attractions without the noise of a busy seafront hotel, though you will hear the railway operating during opening hours.

The Cliff Railway ( Aberystwyth ) A quick and easy was to get a real sight of the town below. There is a path if you prefer to walk up. Relatively inexpensive, £21 both up and down for a family of 4. Would visit again. Nice cafe/bar at the top.

The Aberystwyth Cliff Railway The longest electric funicular cliff railway in Britain. Though it lasted for just 5 minutes, the view was just amazing. There’s a restaurant and bar at the top so that you can enjoy good food and an icecream. You can take one way or return tickets as needed. Dog friendly. The tickets had offers and reductions for health workers and students
