This delightful cottage is in the seaside village of Aberdovey/Aberdyfi, known for its long, sandy beach and fabulous array of water sports. The village is also a great base for keen walkers, with coastal paths within easy reach and the mountains of southern Eryri (Snowdonia) on your doorstep. The property sleeps a family of four or three adults and has a sociable, open-plan layout.

Stone steps lead to this traditional cottage, which is full of characterful original features. Inside, you’ll discover an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a striking beamed ceiling and far-reaching coastal views through the patio doors. Relax here, after a day at the beach, whipping up a tasty meal in the kitchen area to enjoy around the wooden dining table, or reclining in the comfortable chairs to watch the TV/DVD in the glow of the wood burner-effect gas fire. In summer, throw open the doors to the patio to let a gentle sea breeze drift through the cottage. Steep, cottage-style stairs lead to the first floor and the seaside-themed bedrooms; choose from an elegant double with sea views, or a cosy bunk bedroom that would suit two children or one adult. A family bathroom completes this coastal bolthole. Immediately outside the cottage is a suntrap patio with a folding table and chairs for enjoying a morning coffee, and you’ll also have use of a private terrace, accessed via steps alongside a neighbouring property. Here, you can enjoy a picnic amongst sheltered woodland, whilst taking in the breathtaking views across the estuary and out to sea.

Aberdyfi has a long, sandy beach lined with pastel-coloured houses, and the village centre has a fantastic range of independent shops and eateries. You can try a whole host of water sports in Aberdyfi, including windsurfing and paddleboarding, and there’s also a championship golf course. Heading into Eryri National Park, you can enjoy picturesque walks at Dolgoch Falls (10 miles) or take on the mighty peaks of Cadair Idris (16.5 miles).
