  • Sit in your sunny courtyard with your favourite tipple and gaze out at the water
Property code: OC-79148

Set in an elevated position above the seaside village of Aberdovey, this traditional cottage is perfect for romantic staycations characterised by beachside strolls, candle-lit suppers, and cosy evenings snuggled in front of the wood burner. To make your stay extra special why not bring along your beloved hound too – there’s ample space for a basket and lots of exciting walks directly from your doorstep.

Climb the stone steps to reach this gorgeous white-washed property, heading inside to discover a stylish interior that’s been thoughtfully furnished to maximise comfort. Downstairs, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is the hub of the home, where you can let sleeping dogs lie by the wood burner as you rustle up tasty meals, or kick-back and unwind with a glass of wine. Follow the narrow and steep cottage-style stairs to reach the fabulous king-size bedroom, which boasts a crisply-dressed bed, inspiring sea views, and an elegant en-suite shower room. Outside, your small yet delightful courtyard garden is top dog for watching the morning sun shimmering over the sea as you sip your coffee. There’s also a handy cupboard which houses a washing machine and a tumble dryer, and you’ll receive a parking permit for one car that’s valid in all car parks within Gwynedd.

The harbour village of Aberdovey is nestled on the northern banks of the Dovey Estuary, providing adventurous visitors with an array of activities such as paddle boarding, canoeing and fishing. The village itself is scattered with independent shops, galleries and quirky eateries, and there are also opportunities for golfers to play a few holes. Railway enthusiasts will adore the historic Talyllyn Railway that passes through Snowdonia National Park, which you can access from Tywyn 4.5 miles away.

Tegfan is a little gem and just right for 2 and a furry friend. There were nice touches from the information before we got there, to a bottle of wine and towel and treats for the dog.

Tegfan is a lovely cottage. Perfect for a couple, with a dog in our case. It is very well located as you come into Aberdyfi town. It has a good view down to a small pebble beach. It is also close to the pathway up to the hill so you can overlook the estuary, and a short walk through town to the main beaches and on to Tywyn for the more adventurous.

We had a very comfortable stay at Tegfan, it is just big enough for a couple and their canine companion. The steps up to the cottage proved a bit of a challenge to our elderly Jack Russell, luckily she comes equipped with a pram.

We had a great holiday in your beautiful, well-equipped cottage. Thank you for the wine & parking permit. We enjoyed many leisurely lunches with sea views sat out front in glorious sunshine. Charming Aberdyfi has everything: beautiful walks, ice cream, sandy beaches, good dining & coffee places. There was also plenty to do nearby: Talyllyn railway Read more& Cadair Idris being highlights. A longer trip to pretty Aberaeron was disappointing due to extensive building works.

A truly fantastic gem we found. View is amazing and so relaxing. Great places to eat. The stairs could be a problem for some. You get a parking pass which is fantastic, so all parking is free. Lots of great places to visit and lots of walks and hikes. If you are adventurous. You could even try wild swimming. We absolutely loved it and will be back

Property was exactly as described. Comfortable and well equipped. Very nice location on the coast with restricted sea views. Provision of parking pass compensates for lack of street parking.
