  • Quintessential three-storey cottage for families at the heart of beautiful Aberdovey, just a stone’s throw from the beach
  • Enjoy cooking in the bright kitchen with its roof windows
  • Cosy around the electric coal-effect fire at the hub of the house for chilly evenings
Property code: DY027

This traditional cottage sleeps five and is perched at the heart of charming Aberdovey close to a range of shops, galleries and eateries. Wander down to the harbour and watch the boats, perhaps arranging a day of sailing or some fun water sports activities such as paddleboarding and windsurfing. Crabbing is a popular pastime from the jetty, and the glorious sandy beach is a sheer treat for building sandcastles. Your handy location means you could soon be discovering the diverse landscape of Snowdonia National Park and the Ceredigion Coastline, choosing between mountain ranges and rugged stretches of coast path for your daily dose of scenic walks. Aberdovey is also renowned for its 18-hole championship golf course, a must for both the experienced and amateur golfer.

Compact yet cosy with homely extra touches including underfloor heating downstairs and in the first-floor bathroom, the cottage has an underlying nautical-themed decor and is well suited to couples, small families and friendship groups. Navigate the two steps leading up to the property and head through the stable-style door, preparing to relax and unwind in the open-plan kitchen/diner. There are deep sofas, snug armchairs and an electric coal-effect fire, ideal for snuggling on chilly evenings whilst you’re being entertained by the TV with Netflix and Bluetooth BOSE speaker. There’s a dining table for social suppers, and a narrow archway reveals the compact kitchen that’s equipped with everything you need to prepare meals and take care of the clean-up operation afterwards. There is an electric oven and grill, gas hob, fridge, freezer, slimline dishwasher, microwave, washer/dryer and De’Longhi cappuccino/latte maker. The stairs are steep and have a fixed stair gate attached and lead up to the first-floor landing that has wooden floorboards and a single beam overhead. The first bedroom features a double bed, bedroom furniture and built-in storage, finished with fresh decor and careful lighting. Along from here, you’ll also find the bathroom, an elegant room with a shower over the bath and WC. The remaining bedrooms are at the top of another steep flight of stairs, be sure to mind your head as you climb them. You’ll be rewarded with two pretty bedrooms – one small single room with simple hanging space for clothes and bedroom furniture, and a double bedroom with built-in storage.

There may not be a dedicated outside space for your abode, but on warm mornings there is a small bench immediately outside your front door that’s ideal for sipping your coffee and watching the world go by. A short 0.5-mile walk will bring you to the beach and Aberdovey’s array of cafes, pubs and restaurants. A permit is provided for one car to use in one of the nearby car parks.

We had a wonderful stay at Rockpool Cottage, which we found very comfortable and cosy. It's in a great position just off the village square and only a few minutes walk to the beach. There were some thoughtful touches like soft blankets for the sitting room, which we took full advantage of when snuggling up with a movie in the windy weather!
