The picturesque harbour village of Aberdovey is renowned for its mild climate, sandy beaches, sailing and a championship 18-hole links golf course (rated in the UK's top 100). The village is often referred to as “an artist's paradise” with its pastel-coloured cottages, small shops, inns and excellent restaurants which specialise in local seafood, all helping to create a relaxed welcoming atmosphere. Aberdovey boasts some of the finest beaches in Britain, with four miles of golden sand-dune-backed shoreline running north to Tywyn, home of the world-famous Talyllyn Steam Railway and crab fishing. The beaches are popular with sunbathers, swimmers, surfers and fishermen while the estuary attracts a wide range of watersports enthusiasts. The peaks of the Cader Idris and Aran Fawddwy ranges are within easy reach and are complemented by the charm of the Dovey and Dysynni valleys nearby. An ideal area for walkers, climbers and wildlife watchers, and a wonderful all-year-round location.

Long walks on the beach and through the dunes was just what we needed to relax. The views through the upstairs windows are wonderful and when the sun shines the light floods in to the rooms and we even had lunch on the terrace outside. Throughout the cottage, fixtures and fittings are high quality with a particularly good shower. I loved their choice of art. We used the local deli type shop Isabels (Sour dough bread Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday) and the everyday store for food and the fish and chips down near the beach car park were great. NB. You can't park outside the property even to unload the car so take a wheeled bag for the short steep walk up to the property.

It had everything you might need to make your stay enjoyable. It was beautifully decorated and spotless clean. The beds were really comfy. The heating was easy to use when it got a bit nippy at night. Outside patio area was a bonus where you could relax and enjoy the views. We loved it and would definitely stay again if we were in the area.

It's a stone's throw from the bars and restaurants but maintains a tranquility belying the location. I would thoroughly recommend..
