This coastal bolthole for couples and small families is in the village of Aberdovey, at the southern end of Snowdonia National Park. The village has a vast, paw-friendly beach offering miles of dog-walking opportunities, as well as a whole host of water sports. After a long walk with the hounds, sip a sundowner on the terrace whilst admiring the views towards Cardigan Bay.
The former fisherman’s cottage is full of character, and is decorated in a cute, coastal theme. The ground floor is bright and open plan, comprising a lounge/kitchen/diner with a gorgeous slate floor. Unwind here after a day at the beach, dining together at the stylish glass table or reclining on the sumptuous sofa with the hounds curled at your feet. Cottage-style stairs lead to the first floor and a twin bedroom with sea views. A further flight of steep, cottage-style stairs (with no handrail) leads to the second floor, where you’ll find a double bedroom with a quirky porthole-style window. A stylish bathroom completes this floor. To the front of the property is a sunny terrace for al fresco dining and to the rear, via external steps, is a beautiful, decked dining area with stunning views across the estuary. This area is fully enclosed for your four-pawed pals.
Aberdovey is a charming seaside resort, with a sandy beach that welcomes waggy-tailed visitors all year. The village is a hub for water sports enthusiasts, and you can try windsurfing, kitesurfing, paddleboarding, and canoeing during your stay. Keen walkers and adventurous pups will be in their element, with the Roman Road coastal path passing nearby, and the exhilarating tracks and trails of Snowdonia National Park within 10 miles. From Aberdovey, enjoy a day trip to the bustling market town of Machynlleth (10 miles).
