Property code: DY017

Occupying two floors above a seafront ice cream and sweet shop, this light and airy apartment makes a lovely central holiday home for couples and families enjoying this charming seaside spot.

This lovely property in the picturesque seaside village of Aberdyfi (or Aberdovey) is ideal for couples or families looking for a quintessential seaside holiday in North Wales. Aberdyfi is known for its colourful pastel buildings and wonderful long sandy beach, which curves along the coast of Cardigan Bay and round to the bustling town of Tywyn (4 miles). The beach is less than 200 metres away, and the town boasts a championship golf course. Aberdyfi offers various activities along the river Dyfi, including sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, wildlife spotting and fishing.

A pretty apartment accessed via the main sweet shop entrance has stairs leading to the first floor living area. The property is beautifully furnished in soft coastal hues with a seaside theme, creating a relaxing ambience. The pretty lounge/diner is a cosy and welcoming space to unwind at the end of a day out. The windows overlook the harbour green and the estuary beyond. The lounge has two sofas, a feature gas fire, and a TV for evening entertainment. Set by the window, the dining area is a calm space to share a meal and reflect on the day’s adventure. The small galley-style kitchen has all you need to rustle up some tasty treats. The first floor features a shower room. Upstairs are a double and a bunk bedroom (for children). Although there is no outside area, the shops and beach of Aberfydi are within 200 metres walk.

There are plenty of attractions to discover in the local area. Train buffs will be in their element with Fairbourne Railway, which connects with the ferry (check timings) to Barmouth, less than 15 miles away. Barmouth has a beautiful sandy beach and a picturesque harbour. Walkers and nature lovers can explore Arthog Falls, Tan y Coed Park and Garden, and RSPB Ynis hir within 20 miles.

Lovely spot right on the seafront. It was spotlessly clean but is looking a bit tired and could do with a few minor renovations

The location is amazing. The views are excellent. Parking pass a great saver. The bed was too firm for me so used pillows to compensate.

The view from the lounge and main bedroom is breathtaking. The apartment was just right for us. It was light, clean and very comfortable. Long stay parking was close by and convenient which was a concern when we booked. We used the local bus services on two days out and the neare bus stop was conveniently close by. The local restaurants, pubs and tRead moreakeways were very close and gave us a good choice. The ice cream from the shop on the ground floor was delicious. Hide

we have stayed here for the last 3 years and love the convenience of the location and the views from the lounge and bedroom. It is a bit shabby which is a shame but is very comfortable and we will probably come back next year, when hopefully we will be able to get the TV to work for us!
