About this property

Resting on the outskirts of Aberdovey (Aberdyfi), a harbour village in Gwynedd, Snowdonia, is Top Of The World Lodge, a single-storey three-bedroom dwelling. Sitting within Bwlchgwyn Chalet Park, offering far-reaching views from its elevated position across the North Wales countryside, the lodge welcomes six guests and two well-behaved dogs; idyllic for a family escape or a get-together with friends. Benefit from a well-equipped, open-plan living arrangement, offering direct views across the whole of Cardigan Bay whilst preparing meals, gathering as a group, and relaxing upon the plush sofas. Retreat outside to the private veranda, completed with outdoor furniture, perfect for alfresco dining or even a late-night tipple. Returning to the bedrooms, be met by a double, a twin room and bunk, all of which are spacious and are serviced by the well-presented shower room. Local amenities within Aberdovey and the coast are a short walk down the hill, recommended to visit whilst on your self-catering stay; you'll find local pubs, cafes, Penhelig Arms Hotel, the renowned links golf club, and a plethora of shops dotted across the shoreline. The Dyfi estuary is perfect for watersports or try your hand at crabbing off the jetty harbourside. Close by you'll also arrive at Llyn Barfog, a glistening lake perfect for afternoon strolls, Dolgoch Waterfall, a series of three picturesque waterfalls, and Tywyn Wharf Railway Station, offering immersive experiences across the county. The surrounding area includes lots of things to do - abundant hill and coastal walks, take the famous Talyllyn Railway, at Tywyn, visit Barmouth Beach or the local market town at Machynlleth with its Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), the Osprey Project, Ynys-Hir nature reserve, King Arthur's Labyrinth at Corris Craft Centre. Gather your loved ones in Gwynedd at Top Of The World Lodge.

The charming harbour town of Aberdovey is well known for its moderate temperature, sandy beaches, sailing, and an 18-hole links golf course that is ranked in the top 100 in the UK. With its pastel-colored cottages, quaint shops, inns, and outstanding restaurants that specialise in local seafood, the village is frequently referred to as "an artist's paradise," all of which contribute to the cosy, welcoming ambiance. With four miles of golden sand-dune-backed shoreline leading north to Tywyn, the world-famous Talyllyn Steam Railway and crab fishing, Aberdovey has some of the best beaches in all of Britain. Sunbathers, swimmers, surfers, and anglers enjoy the beaches, and a variety of watersports enthusiasts use the estuary.

    Warm and cozy , we loved sitting early evening watching the skies changed A wonderful holiday, thankyou

  • Lynn

    There is a bit of a steep grassy bank to get to it but despite the weather was surprisingly not slippy. It was a well equipped property except a broom would have been useful to have a quick sweep round midweek instead of getting the hoover out.

    Gorgeous accommodation with the most amazing views. Loads of room for the six of us. Love how the cupboards are full with everything you needs, games books and the kitchen has everything you need too. Can’t wait to return. The walk up to the lodge is quite steep so not great on a wet day but the description does confirm this.
