Harbourmaster Hotel

Cardigan Bay, United Kingdom

Harbourmaster Hotel is a true pioneer. In one of its nautical-chic sea-view rooms, there's an enormous wrought-iron bed, and a soft leather couch with bright hand-woven woollen covers on the back rests that is typical of the hotel’s style: considered, comfortable and quirky.
