Best Western Aberavon Beach Hotel  

On Aberavon’s seafront in Port Talbot, steps from two miles of promenade and the Blue Flag Aberavon Beach. Expect sweeping views across Swansea Bay to the Gower Peninsula and easy access to Margam Country Park, Surf School Wales and Swansea — a pet-friendly beach hotel that doubles as a popular spot for weddings and conferences.

Sixty-five guestrooms feature flat-screen TVs, desks, safes and private bathrooms with shower/tub combos and deep soaking bathtubs. The hotel offers contactless check-in, a 24-hour front desk and free on-site parking; select rooms and public areas accept dogs (restaurant excludes pets but the bar can set up tables for guests and their animals).

Take in sea-breeze mornings from the promenade and hotel garden; amenities include a gift shop/newsstand and common-area TV. An indoor pool and sauna are listed but are currently closed seasonally/under renovation. Free self-parking is available onsite.

A 24-hour business center, six meeting rooms and event facilities make this a strong choice for meetings and conferences, with complimentary wireless internet throughout the property.

The Greenhouse serves ocean-view breakfast, lunch and dinner, with limited room service available; there’s also a bar/lounge for after-hours drinks. Full breakfasts run weekdays 7:00–9:30 and weekends 8:00–10:00 (for a fee).
