Property code: OC-DY047

There’s so much to do in Aberdovey for nature-loving guests and their pets – whether you fancy an energetic hike up to a famous peak like Cader Idris (16 miles) or having a relaxed game of fetch on the sand, you’re bound to fall in love with this beauty spot. The property has a welcoming traditional feel and offers comfy accommodation for a family and up to two small dogs.

With its light, bright appearance and tasteful decorative touches, this cottage feels very welcoming. You’ll enter directly into the attractive living area, where you can unwind after a busy day doing water sports or exploring Snowdonia’s trails. A Smart LCD TV and DVD player set you up for evening entertainment with your pets nestled at your feet. In the adjoining kitchen, cook yummy holiday meals using produce purchased at Machynlleth’s vibrant market (10.5 miles), then serve them up at the large dining table. The space at the front of the house features a bench for enjoying the fresh sea air and you’ll also have a small private terrace at the back that’s ideal for al fresco dining on warm summer evenings.

You’ll be only 400 metres from the unspoilt local beach, where you can admire views over Cardigan Bay and join the Wales Coast Path for doggie-pleasing strolls and the possibility to glimpse porpoises in the water. The 10-mile circular walk from Aberdovey to Llyn Barfog (the Bearded Lake) is another fantastic option, or you may choose to enjoy a round of golf at the local course (0.5 miles).

We found this to be a perfect holiday rental, clean, cosy, very well equipped and in a lovely location just a couple of minutes walk from the village centre and the stunning beach. We would highly recommend May Cottage to couples and/ or small families.

Really good central location with easy access to the sea front and all the bars etc. Its compact but both bed rooms are a decent size. Free Car park on the front made life so much easier. A good spot!
