Overview
Property code: DY034

Consisting of two stylish cottages and boasting a natural harbour, this stylish abode is a delight for large groups who can’t resist the thrill of the water in a peaceful location.

It’s surrounded by woodland walks and stunning scenery, making it a haven for dogs and their owners. You’ll be in a peaceful rural spot just 4 miles from Aberdovey, a popular seaside resort and port town with a sandy beach where your pets can run free as kites (some restrictions apply in summer). With space for four up to 14 human guests and five of your doggie chums, this abode is wonderful for family celebrations or holidays among nature-loving friends and their children.

This group-friendly accommodation is made up of two separate cottages. The larger serves as a social hub, with its large open-plan living area where you can eat together around the grand dining table and nestle into the inviting sofas. There’s plenty of light in this space thanks to large dual-aspect windows. Gather around the TV with fellow guests while the dogs stretch out next to the warming wood burner, dreaming of Welsh cakes. In the large kitchen, the range cooker is wonderful for cooking group feasts for up to 14 mouths. The adjacent smaller cottage, accessible via a conservatory, is ideal for families, featuring an open-plan living space, sofa, small dining table and kitchen with essential appliances. Woodland and sweeping countryside surround the dwelling, and there are plenty of outdoor spots to relax nearby. There’s a sunny courtyard, a front patio for picnicking with a sandpit for the children, and a large rear garden complete with natural amphitheatre seating and a BBQ area. A slipway leads to a beach and natural harbour where you can fish – you may be rewarded with sea bass, plaice and mullet. A private deep-water mooring means you can bring your own boat, too. For the thrill-seekers amongst your party, the harbour is a treat for wild swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking and swimming.

Aberdovey offers an excellent array of activities, including water sports, boat trips and a championship golf course where you can take dogs on leads. The town is the meeting point of mountains and sea at the mouth of the River Dyfi, with the diverse landscape of Snowdonia National Park behind it – a true doggie’s paradise.

Perfect for our crowd. Glad we took a kayak and paddleboard and the easy access to a private and safe area at low tide meant all the kids could have a go. Also glad we're booked again for next year. We loved the secret tunnel access to our private space. Plenty of room inside and out.

This was a fantastic place to spend a few days away, plenty space and divided over 2 houses which was an added bonus. It was an ideal location for what we needed, 15 mins from Dyfi bike park and close enough to two town/villages with plenty of amenities. We met Sophie on the first day and what a lovely woman and couldnt have been more helpful especRead moreially when we needed an extension cable. I would reccomend 100 prevent to stay there and hopefully well be back next year. Hide

We had a great family holiday at Smugglers Cove. The accommodation was clean, comfortable , spacious and very well equipped . The self contained annexe was great for our young teenagers to get away from us and hang out together while still joining us for meals. Would highly recommend . Liz

We would strongly recommend staying in this accommodation. There were 12 of us staying here from 13 to 74 years old. We loved the location for paddle boarding and chilled out evenings. The accommodation is lovely, clean and had all the facilities we needed. I recommend going to Corris Craft centre where you can also see the aircraft on the Mach LooRead morep. Hide

Smugglers Cove was a wonderful cottage to stay in. We stayed with a group of friends and it was the perfect location to spend a long weekend (sadly we didn't have longer!). Our children had the best time and want to go back. There's a small beach in walking distance and only a 7 minutes drive to Aberdyfi Beach, which was a gorgeous sandy beach withRead more great facilities. Thank you for a perfect getaway. Hide
