Plan ahead
It’s easy to lose track of time when you’re on a work trip. If you don’t plan ahead, you may find yourself without any time to enjoy yourself and make the most of being in a location like Aberystwyth. A planner that has a daily schedule, with tasks written down to the hour, can allow you to find and allocate time for leisure activities. By giving yourself time for leisure and to explore, you’ll discover new places and keep yourself energised for your work activities.
Stay at a hotel with a kitchen
Staying at a hotel with a kitchen is vital for business trips. You’ll have easy access to a cooked meal, and you won’t have to waste time or money looking for somewhere to eat. You’ll also be able to save time by ordering food to your room, so you can take important calls over your meals.
Whilst there are many hotels in Aberystwyth, there are only a few that have high-quality food on offer. In our opinion, Park Lodge Hotel is the best option for your business trip.

Go for walks
While you’re at it, take advantage of the stunning scenery. A walk during the day is a great way to clear your head and refresh your body, keeping you energised and productive when it’s time to work. You should aim to get out for a walk in the morning before you start working – allowing you to start the day in a positive, healthy way; you’ll get your creative juices flowing, and clear your head of any stress you might be feeling.
