Facilities are highlighted as exceptional, with two quality wood burners, a variety of cooking devices, and a well-equipped kitchen. The garden's amenities, including furniture and a barbecue, contribute to the high score.
Thoughtfulness
The generous welcome pack is mentioned in numerous reviews, indicating the owners' thoughtfulness. While such gifts are greatly appreciated, it's important to note they are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Aberdovey 1 mile. This delightful, timber-built, fully-insulated shepherd's hut is a truly unique holiday cottage. Set in its own grounds only a 20 minute walk from Aberdovey's picturesque seafront, this cottage is an ideal romantic retreat. Providing two adjacent yet distinct areas of accommodation, both very well-equipped, and furnished in a quality, contemporary style this is a very unique property. The Shepherd's Hut has a super king-size bed with combi TV/DVD, en-suite shower and full breakfast facilities and has a wonderfully romantic atmosphere with a woodburning stove. The adjacent timber building houses the open plan living area, which also boasts a woodburning stove and is extremely well-equipped, welcoming and cosy with brand new double glazing. There is a lawned garden and wildflower meadow with patio, and separate decking in a sheltered location by a stream with sun loungers, all perfect for relaxing and dining alfresco after experimenting on the impressive outdoor woodburner BBQ oven. The picturesque village of Aberdovey with its inns, restaurants, lovely beach renowned for watersports, crab fishing and Dyfi Donkeys, and an excellent 18-hole championship golf links is within 20 minutes' walk. This location is a paradise for all outdoor activities and enjoys stunning mountain and coastal scenery in all directions. Spectacular climbing, walking and mountain biking can be found in the nearby southern Snowdonia mountain range, while the world-famous Tal-y-Llyn Steam Railway, is a five minute drive away. The Shepherd's Hut is a different, but very special Aberdovey holiday cottage in an ideal location for an exciting break at any time of year.
Renowned for its mild climate, sandy beaches, sailing and a championship 18-hole links golf course, the picturesque harbour village of Aberdovey is often referred to as “an artist's paradise”. Packed with pastel coloured cottages, small shops, inns and excellent restaurants which specialise in local seafood, the settlement offers a cosy, relaxed atmosphere. Aberdovey boasts some of the finest beaches in Britain, including four miles of golden sand dunes running north to Tywyn - home of the world-famous Talyllyn Steam Railway. Popular with sunbathers, swimmers, surfers and fishermen, these beaches make a wonderful spot for a day trip, whilst the estuary attracts a wide range of water sports enthusiasts. The peaks of the Cader Idris and Aran Fawddwy ranges are also close by and offer a range of walks at different difficulty levels.
