  • Elegant apartment with beautiful estuary views
  • Cosy and welcoming home within easy reach of Aberdovey’s four-mile stretch of beach and 18-hole championship golf course
  • Excellent vantage point for hillwalking through the Cambrian Mountains and trekking along the Ceredigion Coastline
Property code: OC-DY006

This coastal escape enjoys a prime position on Aberdovey’s seafront, just 200 metres from the beach and close to its fantastic array of paw-friendly cafes and restaurants. Sleeping four guests and two small pups, it’s the perfect retreat for families and couples seeking a traditional seaside getaway. Along with miles of golden sand to explore with the hounds, you’ll also be within easy reach of the exhilarating tracks and trails of Snowdonia National Park.

Set within a row of pastel-coloured, seafront properties, the first-floor apartment enjoys fantastic views across the bay. After climbing a flight of stairs, you’ll be welcomed into an open-plan living space with a delightful mix of contemporary design and period features. To the rear of the room is a kitchen, with everything you need for a self-catering stay. Come together at the dining table by the window for a meal with a view, before sinking into one of the plump sofas to watch the Smart TV/DVD whilst the hounds doze at your feet. A handy shower room completes this floor. A steep, narrow staircase from the lounge leads to the upper floor, where you’ll find two seaside-themed bedrooms. There is no outside space with the apartment. However, directly opposite the property is a public green where the woofers can stretch their legs.

Aberdovey’s beach is a paradise for four-pawed visitors, with golden sand that stretches for miles, and only a small, seasonal dog restriction on the main beach. After a stroll along the shore, join locals in a spot of crabbing from the jetty or hop aboard a boat trip to explore the bay. Alternatively, pull on your walking boots and get the heart pumping and ears flapping on a challenging climb within the Snowdonia peaks of Cadair Idris (16 miles) or Aran Fawddwy (30 miles).

Crabber's Rest is an amazing place and very well equipped. The view over the estuary is stunning and perfectly located in the town. There is lotto do on the doorstep, and the closest station on the Cambrian railway is a 10 min walk away which makes it very easy to travel around. We would definitely recommend the place.

Crabbers Rest is beautifully positioned overlooking the sea at Aberdyfi. Between a Deli selling delicious goodies, and an ice cream parlour it could not be better placed for a perfect holiday. Lovely restaurants and interesting shops are on the doorstep and the endless gorgeous beach stretches for miles. Surrounded by mountainous views this coastalRead more location is idyllic. The apartment is comfortable and well equipped, we had everything we needed for our stay, being dog friendly was an absolute bonus. I would highly recommend the apartment for anyone thinking of staying in the area. We had some lovely visits to Harlech, Barmouth and Aberystwyth and did some great walks in the surrounding landscape, which is stunning. We would recommend the Coast restaurant for dining but its best to book ahead. We would definitely stay here again if visiting Wales and thank you to the owners, Elizabeth and Mike for allowing us to share their delightful home. Hide

The apartment was absolutely fantastic and in a prime location with views of the estuary and out to the sea via the wonderful bay windows. The accommodation was very clean, light and super comfortable. There was a lovely welcome pack.
