  • Quintessential three-storey cottage for families at the heart of beautiful Aberdovey, just a stone’s throw from the beach
  • Enjoy cooking in the bright kitchen with its roof windows
  • Cosy around the electric coal-effect fire at the hub of the house for chilly evenings
Property code: OC-DY027

You’ll be in the heart of Aberdovey, a gorgeous seaside town at the southernmost tip of the Snowdonia National Park – so prepare for plenty of doggie-pleasing adventures in stunning scenery. The house is in a fantastic spot just 350 metres from the beach and with plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants within 0.5 miles. With space for five human guests and one canine companion, it’s wonderful for a family holiday or trip among good friends.

This stable-doored townhouse is located on a sloped road, lending a quirky touch before you’ve even entered. Inside, underfloor heating and a nautical-themed decor make you feel right at home. You’ll enter into a cosy open-plan living area complete with deep sofas, snug armchairs and an electric coal-effect fire – which your pet will surely gravitate towards if you’d kindly switch it on for her. A TV Netflix and a Bluetooth BOSE speaker set you up for some evening entertainment. In the kitchen, you’ll find all mod cons including a De’Longhi cappuccino/latte maker which ensures you can start each day the right way during your stay. While the property lacks a dedicated outdoor space, there’s a small bench outside the front door that’s just right for sipping one of those De’Longhi lattes with your dog by your side.

You’ll be just 350 metres from Aberdovey’s vibrant harbour, where you and your dog can watch boats and enjoy the bustling atmosphere. If you’re a golf enthusiast, spend a few hours at the renowned 18-hole championship golf course in Aberdovey, where dogs on leads are welcome. Aberdovey’s independent shops and galleries are all ripe for exploration, along with its lovely cafés where you can pop in for tea and cake.

We chose this property due to ita location. I have a chronic health condition which means although I can walk and do steps, I cant do too much of either. So this review is based on my experience with these limitations. I visited with my husband and our dog. The location is fab, right in the centre of Aberdyfi. A minute from a lovely eatery, pub, Read moredeli, butchers and other shops. Cross the road and you are on the seafront with easy flat walks either way. There is no general store in the centre of the village, so my husband walked about 10mins to the Post Office/small convenience store for supplies such as toilet roll. The property itself is accessed up two steps. One of which is quite high, but there is a sturdy railing and I coped fine. Inside has a shallow step into kitchen - no bother. The stairs are typically steep and narrow, but with two handrails it felt very easy and safe. Shower is over bath. But I coped fine, and the shower itself was lovely. The place is very clean, although a bit tired in some places. Overall though, really cosy cute place to chill or use as a base if you wanted to explore. Hide

Lovely cottage for a family holiday. Superb location, well equipped. Really handy to have a parking permit for the stay. Beds comfy, lovely and warm (underfloor heating was great!). Aberdyfi is wonderful and close to a lot of family and dog friendly activities. Strongly recommended.

Excellent location, especially for lovely, huge, beach. Lots of good tearooms and pubs nearby. Cottage is clean and spacious. Living room and kitchen a bit tired looking, but overall house is good value.

Great location, but otherwise disappointing. Cleanliness needs a bit of attention and some furniture and furnishings are shabby and grubby. The whole cottage is in need of TLC.

Lovely cottage in great location. Came here 2 years ago and just come back from another week there. Cottage has everything you could ask for. Clean,,well equipped and homely. When we first came was a bit worried about it having no garden as we have a dog but no problem as it is just across the road from a grassy area and the beach. Good choice of pRead moreubs and restaurants nearby.No parking outside but get a pass to use in car park across the road.. Will definitely go back. Hide
