The area surrounding Cardigan Castle, just a few minutes' walk from the main shops and restaurants, offers the highest concentration of centrally located hotels. Most properties in this category are independently run, often occupying period buildings with limited on-site parking, so advance booking for a space is recommended.

Guests should note that some older buildings, such as Rooms At The Angel, lack lifts and may not be suitable for those with limited mobility.
