Property code: DY016

Set at the southern tip of Snowdonia and overlooking the beautiful Dyfi Estuary, this fresh and airy fisherman’s cottage is a lovely retreat for families making the most of this stunning coastal area.

This coastal bolthole for couples and small families is in the village of Aberdovey, at the southern end of Snowdonia National Park. The village has a vast, paw-friendly beach offering miles of dog-walking opportunities, as well as a whole host of water sports. After a long walk with the hounds, sip a sundowner on the terrace whilst admiring the views towards Cardigan Bay.

The former fisherman’s cottage is full of character, and is decorated in a cute, coastal theme. The ground floor is bright and open plan, comprising a lounge/kitchen/diner with a gorgeous slate floor. Unwind here after a day at the beach, dining together at the stylish glass table or reclining on the sumptuous sofa with the hounds curled at your feet. Cottage-style stairs lead to the first floor and a twin bedroom with sea views. A further flight of steep, cottage-style stairs (with no handrail) leads to the second floor, where you’ll find a double bedroom with a quirky porthole-style window. A stylish bathroom completes this floor. To the front of the property is a sunny terrace for al fresco dining and to the rear, via external steps, is a beautiful, decked dining area with stunning views across the estuary. This area is fully enclosed for your four-pawed pals.

Aberdovey is a charming seaside resort, with a sandy beach that welcomes waggy-tailed visitors all year. The village is a hub for water sports enthusiasts, and you can try windsurfing, kitesurfing, paddleboarding, and canoeing during your stay. Keen walkers and adventurous pups will be in their element, with the Roman Road coastal path passing nearby, and the exhilarating tracks and trails of Snowdonia National Park within 10 miles. From Aberdovey, enjoy a day trip to the bustling market town of Machynlleth (10 miles).

This is a stylish, well-kept cottage in a stunning location - absolutely fantastic views and an easy walk to good pubs and restaurants. The best part of the cottage was the spacious front terrace - perfect for morning coffee, an evening drink, or even an informal meal. However, although we realised there was no parking, we did not realise that therRead moree was no possibility to drop off luggage and supplies at the house before continuing to the public car park 150 yards - and a steep hill - away.

The property has the best view of aberdyfi with amazing outside space to watch the sun set. Lovely cosy cottage with close walk to the village and beach. Special walks from the property to picnic island. Aberdyfi is a special place to visit and rock bottom is a great place to stay

Perfect cottage for us in a lovely spot. We loved being near to the coast whilst being in Snowdonia and all that has to offer. We loved the train, spectacular journey. We used it as a lovely way to visit Harlech Castle. Recommend the Britannia Inn, independent pub, lovely food and lovely people.

Great cottage with super views and all necessary facilities. However, the steel stairs both inside and outside to deck would be a problem for the unfit and small children. Michael (York)
