What is recorded here

The Castle Hotel, Aberystwyth is a castle, fort or tower in Ceredigion, Wales. Perhaps travellers climbed its stairs after dark, listening for the sea beneath stone floors. Maybe rooms still hold warmth from forgotten fires, waiting for hands to touch rough walls. Imagine a keeper unlocking doors for strangers who arrived tired, hungry, and glad to be somewhere solid.

It is remembered for its location on the historic castle grounds, which date back to the 13th century and were originally built by Dafydd ap Gruffydd, brother of Llywelyn the Great.
