Great little cottage with a pretty garden and good facilities. Would recommend for two adults wanting to explore the area. Management team were very quick to respond when we needed them and we really enjoyed our stay. Maps on the wall were very helpful! Youd need transport as walking along the main road is dangerous with no pavement. Lots to do andRead more see in the area. Hide

Lovely property, catered for all our needs. Location is ideal, away from all the hustle and bustle of other tourists , but close enough to all amenities. A real reclusive get away. Other reviews noted it being close to the road with a train track opposite. We didnt find this any problem with traffic passing as this was not continuous, and as for thRead moree train it was a 2 carriage rattler that passed a few times a day, with the view across the estuary, this just added charm to the property.

Lovely little cottage with everything you need. If you are taking a dog be aware that there are no pavements on the road that the cottage is on so walking the dog is a bit dangerous with the fast traffic Everything else was perfect and Aberdovey is beautiful

One of the cupboards in the kitchen requires adjustment to the hinges. The clock did not work. Neither were an issue for us. The garden pond needs some attention.

A lovely cottage in a great location. It is quite close to the road as others have mentioned, and the train tracks, but it always quietened down in the evenings. The log burner was lovely and we used it quite a bit as we couldn't get one of the heaters to work. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds lovely and comfortable. The garden was great Read morefor our dog, although there is a couple of places a small dog might be able to get through. The view of the estuary is stunning! Hide

This a lovely property, well maintained and with views over the Dovey estuary. It catches the sun for most of the day. It is on a relatively busy road, but the traffic did not bother us

The cottage is five minutes away from Aberdovey. The barn conversion has been nicely done. Secure garden was great for the dog with nice views across the estuary. The cottage is comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen. There is road noise, but I did not find it a problem. Bed covers inadequate, this needs to be addressed.

Another wonderful stay back in Aberdovey. Can thoroughly recommend this property as it has all the comforts one can wish for and within easy reach of amazing beaches and countryside.

As we were aware of it the traffic noise was not a problem but it maybe in summer. Heating from the log burner was good in the main room . Maybe not a good property for a family or person with poor mobility. We had a pleasant 3 day stay & visited several places of interest. Can recommend the tour of the CAT at Machynlleth.
