Spend the day at the beach, play golf, go hiking, try some water sports or enjoy a delicious meal – this cute seafront apartment in the heart of Aberdyfi is ideal for couples and small families wanting a seaside getaway or outdoor adventures.

The apartment is set on the first and second floors of a pastel-coloured terrace located right by the sea and in the heart of the action in lovely Aberdyfi. Head straight up the stairs to the first floor and you’ll find your front door, leading into an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with seriously lovely views of the sea and the harbour. Curl up on the window seat to watch the waves, the boats and the weather all day. You can rustle up delicious meals in the well-designed kitchen, and enjoy them at the central dining table before relaxing on the sofas, perhaps with a DVD or a movie on the Smart TV. A short hallway leads to your shower room, while a narrow, cottage-style staircase takes you up to the second floor and your two bedrooms, a double with sea views and a twin with 2’6” beds, both with ample storage.

Aberdyfi has so much to offer, from its 18-hole links golf course to a variety of water sports, including sailing, paddleboarding and wind surfing. Its 4-mile sandy beach is a big draw, and if you need a change there are plenty of shops and restaurants. You can book a boat trip for fishing, sea-life spotting or just to admire the beautiful views of the shoreline. If you feel like a change, head inland and explore the Cambrian Mountains and their variety of walking trails, or drive to Machynlleth, 10.5 miles, or Dolgellau, 23 miles, each of which boasts an interesting range of shops, pubs and places to eat.

Crabber's Rest is an amazing place and very well equipped. The view over the estuary is stunning and perfectly located in the town. There is lotto do on the doorstep, and the closest station on the Cambrian railway is a 10 min walk away which makes it very easy to travel around. We would definitely recommend the place.

Crabbers Rest is beautifully positioned overlooking the sea at Aberdyfi. Between a Deli selling delicious goodies, and an ice cream parlour it could not be better placed for a perfect holiday. Lovely restaurants and interesting shops are on the doorstep and the endless gorgeous beach stretches for miles. Surrounded by mountainous views this coastalRead more location is idyllic. The apartment is comfortable and well equipped, we had everything we needed for our stay, being dog friendly was an absolute bonus. I would highly recommend the apartment for anyone thinking of staying in the area. We had some lovely visits to Harlech, Barmouth and Aberystwyth and did some great walks in the surrounding landscape, which is stunning. We would recommend the Coast restaurant for dining but its best to book ahead. We would definitely stay here again if visiting Wales and thank you to the owners, Elizabeth and Mike for allowing us to share their delightful home. Hide

The apartment was absolutely fantastic and in a prime location with views of the estuary and out to the sea via the wonderful bay windows. The accommodation was very clean, light and super comfortable. There was a lovely welcome pack. Aberdyfi has a wonderful butcher (try The godmothers lasagne) together with a very good deli/gourmet food shop IsabRead moreels underneath. The Cost@Home was a great place for fresh croissants and coffee. The convenience store, whilst limited had everything needed Hide
