A delightful, Welsh holiday home, taking in far-reaching, panoramic views across the water, and in an ideal location for Cardigan Bay and Snowdonia National Park.
Prepare for a scenic trip with your loved ones and pet at this charming two-bedroom cottage in Penhelig, just 0.5 miles from the vibrant seaside village of Aberdovey. Juliet balconies on both floors mean you can really make the most of the excellent vistas. Take the dog on tail-waggingly good walks on Aberdovey beach, where children can enjoy crabbing and paddling. For the hikers among you, there are excellent walks through the wilderness that lead right from your front door, with fantastic routes like Yr Horon, Panorama Walk and Llyn Barfog (Bearded Lake) easily accessible.
From street level, ascend the steps up to your glass front door, which opens up to a cosy living space with elegant oak flooring. The lounge is perfect for relaxing with your family, featuring a TV, a book-reading nook and stunning estuary views. On warm days, open the doors to the Juliet balcony to welcome the refreshing sea breeze in. If it’s chilly, the wood burner-style gas fire provides comfort that your tired-out dog will certainly appreciate. The stylish kitchen has everything you need for those culinary creations and the circular dining table gives you somewhere to sit and eat while savouring those jaw-dropping views. While the cottage itself doesn’t have a traditional garden, you can take your pet across the road to Penhelig Gardens when she fancies a loll on the grass.
You can join the South Coast Path at Aberdovey and follow it along to nearby Tywyn, a pretty harbour village 4 miles north. If golf is more your thing, challenge yourself at Aberdovey’s 18-hole championship course, where dogs on leads are welcome to accompany you round. Feeling like scaling some heights? Pack some sandwiches and a water bowl and treats for your pet, then head up towards Cader Idris (16.5 miles) for a day of breathtaking mountain views.
