  There is a lot of space for a couple.

  A small bedroom / shower room in the "shepherd's hut" and a add on kitchen / living room on the side. There is a generous amount of usable space outside and many seating options - a swing seat, a table and chairs, a bench with a coffee table, another table and chairs, two loungers on the lawn, two loungers by the stream and a bench by the stream. All of the furniture - inside and out - is in good shape However you want to sit around - in the sun, out of the sun, inside, out, etc etc there is an option. For a couple of days it was quite rainy but we were comfortable in the living room area I think the description of the walk to the beach says 20 minutes. I would say it is more like 5 minutes over the dunes. We could not see the sea from the hut but we could hear it! The beach is amazing, wide, golden sand. When the sun sets, it is over the sea Generally it is in a good place to use as a base, Cader Idris is a short car ride away. The train station is a 10 minute walk

  Had a lovely time in the cottage and surrounding areas.

  Gareth the owner was extremely helpful and knowledgable about the area and places to go. Kids loved the games room. My kids are 11. Beautiful cottage, peaceful and quiet. We've only rated this cottage as 4 stars not 5, because the back garden could have been more useable for the family with better seating areas and safer ground. Wouldn't recommend for toddlers or small children as lots of slate and shards of porcelin on the ground. Could do with grass or astro turf maybe? Good for medium to large dogs though, as its enclosed. Also, the listing makes this cottage look detached, which it isn't. It has a 1 bed cottage attached. Which wasn't a problem for us. But if you are looking for fully detached, it isn't. The smaller cottage is beautiful inside aswell as Gareth kindly showed us around. I would recommend this cottage, I don't think anyone would be disappointed, the bedrooms lovely and beds comfortable aswell.

  We had a lovely time at the Shepherd's hut, and in terms of comfort, furnishings, equipment, outdoor space and privacy, the accommodation would rival any cottage.

  Set back from the road, and screened by mature bushes and trees, it was the perfect place for a relaxing stay with good parking and access from the road. It was brilliant having 2 separate huts and both were very spacious and generously and thoughtfully equipped with everything to make our stay comfortable and cosy. The outside space was just as good and the garden was lovely with various seating areas, BBQ, fire pit and very private. The location was perfect with the beach, golf course and Aberdovey train station within easy walking distance. We also walked from the beach to Aberdovey (30 mins) and Tywyn (approx 1 hour). Aberdovey itself was lovely, and we enjoyed excellent food at the Indian restaurant (cash only) the 'Coast Bistro' and fish and chips from 'Walkers'. The pubs were very friendly as well. We really enjoyed our stay at the Shepherd's hut and hope to return again in the future.

  We absolutely loved the location, the area is beautiful.

  We hired the property with the expectation of a washing machine as it was listed in the facilities so we were surprised and disappointed to discover that there wasn't one in the property but there was a shared one available in a nearby building. The mattress on the double bed was of extremely poor quality which meant that we couldn't sleep on it so slept in the 2 single beds instead. The shower cubicle had nowhere to put toiletries so we went out and purchased a shower caddy for less than £4 which made all the difference. The toilet seat did not fit the toilet. We didn't mention these problems as they were not things that could be quickly resolved but unfortunately, they made our stay quiet uncomfortable. For these reasons alone, I am.sorry to say that we wouldn't return to this particular property but would love to stay in the area again.

  Beautiful house in the most amazing setting, very clean and the perfect base for anyone wanting to explore the Welsh mountains and all it has to offer. Right on the edge of some amazing hikes and looking out at the most beautiful scene of mount Snowdon (we hiked Snowdon and could see the house from one of the paths). On arrival we had been provided with milk, fruit and Welsh cakes and the owners also dropped off some eggs freshly layed by their chickens that morning - washing up liquid, laundry detergent and dishwasher tablets were also provided! Comfortable beds and the most relaxing reading chair on the landing looking out over Snowdon (so comfortable I found the chair online and have brought one for myself). Brilliant holiday made even more special by having such an amazing place to stay - will definitely be back.
