Set back from the hustle and bustle of Aberdovey yet close enough for you to embrace beach-style living, this characterful cottage sleeps five in comfort and is ideal for exploring.

Perched at the end of a row of terraced cottages, this delightful property offers spectacular views over Aberdovey coast from the house and garden alike. Set above the railway line with perfect views of the beach, this superb cottage enjoys a little seclusion from the bustling town, yet is just minutes’ walk from the beach, shops and eateries. Offering ample accommodation for five guests and welcoming two canine companions, this charming abode is ideal for a family holiday or a getaway with friends.

This two-storey cottage has a warm, rustic aesthetic that proudly showcases its storied past, with thick stone walls and an ornate fireplace. Once used to house the staff of Penhelig Lodge, it’s been thoughtfully remodelled with comfortable furnishings accented by a subtle coastal theme for a warm and homely ambiance. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner wraps around the entrance porch to form the heart of this holiday home. Rustle up family favourites in the bright and colourful kitchen, then wine, dine and chat around the family dining table. With deep seating and majestic coastal views, the lounge is ideal for gathering to watch TV or just enjoying quality time together, multi-fuel burner keeping you warm and toasty. Make the most of warm weather and delightful views by sipping a glass of wine on your front patio, keeping an eye on dogs and children in the open front garden. Note that the rear garden with access to the shed and washing line is shared with your neighbours. When night falls, climb the stairs to get cosy under the covers – choose from a king-size, a twin and a single room. A family bathroom completes the accommodation.

Also known as Aberdyfi, Aberdovey offers fun for all the family. Enjoy lazy beach days on the golden sands, or take curious kids crabbing from the jetty. If you’re feeling active, there are a number of walking trails leading out from the village, or choose from a number of sea-related activities, such as fishing, sailing, paddleboarding or canoeing.

We will definatly be returning to this cottage in the near future .. Hide

This was a lovely cottage with everything you would need and more, fantastic views across the estuary and in a very peaceful and relaxing location. A steep walk up to the cottage but we figured it was good training for Snowdon which is around 1 hour 20 mins from the property. Well worth the effort though!! . Aberdovey is a lovely town with a few niRead morece pubs and restaurants and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The beaches are amazing and some lovely places to visit locally. Great holiday Hide

This place had everything we needed, everything worked and bed was comfy. Stunning panoramic views to enjoy every day. So lovely that we often sat outside late afternoon with a drink to enjoy winter sunsets. Very well equipped and furthest pub ( Penhelig Arms ) was only a 12 minute walk. Beach was Huge and clean
