About this property

Aberdovey 1 mile. This delightful, timber-built, fully-insulated shepherd's hut is a truly unique holiday cottage. Set in its own grounds only a 20 minute walk from Aberdovey's picturesque seafront, this cottage is an ideal romantic retreat. Providing two adjacent yet distinct areas of accommodation, both very well-equipped, and furnished in a quality, contemporary style this is a very unique property. The Shepherd's Hut has a super king-size bed with combi TV/DVD, en-suite shower and full breakfast facilities and has a wonderfully romantic atmosphere with a woodburning stove. The adjacent timber building houses the open plan living area, which also boasts a woodburning stove and is extremely well-equipped, welcoming and cosy with brand new double glazing. There is a lawned garden and wildflower meadow with patio, and separate decking in a sheltered location by a stream with sun loungers, all perfect for relaxing and dining alfresco after experimenting on the impressive outdoor woodburner BBQ oven. The picturesque village of Aberdovey with its inns, restaurants, lovely beach renowned for watersports, crab fishing and Dyfi Donkeys, and an excellent 18-hole championship golf links is within 20 minutes' walk. This location is a paradise for all outdoor activities and enjoys stunning mountain and coastal scenery in all directions. Spectacular climbing, walking and mountain biking can be found in the nearby southern Snowdonia mountain range, while the world-famous Tal-y-Llyn Steam Railway, is a five minute drive away. The Shepherd's Hut is a different, but very special Aberdovey holiday cottage in an ideal location for an exciting break at any time of year.

Renowned for its mild climate, sandy beaches, sailing and a championship 18-hole links golf course, the picturesque harbour village of Aberdovey is often referred to as "an artist's paradise". Packed with pastel coloured cottages, small shops, inns and excellent restaurants which specialise in local seafood, the settlement offers a cosy, relaxed atmosphere. Aberdovey boasts some of the finest beaches in Britain, including four miles of golden sand dunes running north to Tywyn - home of the world-famous Talyllyn Steam Railway. Popular with sunbathers, swimmers, surfers and fishermen, these beaches make a wonderful spot for a day trip, whilst the estuary attracts a wide range of water sports enthusiasts. The peaks of the Cader Idris and Aran Fawddwy ranges are also close by and offer a range of walks at different difficulty levels.

    Kay and Jeff have an absolute gem of a place here, a 5-minute walk to the beach , a 5-minute drive to shops and food places,great fish, and chip shop !! That's the area sorted now for the best bit the hut and the living area including the patio area and garden are AMAZING, we have been to a few huts now, mainly in Norfolk but this place has just blown us away, we had a little hamper on arrival it was clean and decorated to a great standard we had a week in the hut and the weather was amazing considering it was 1st week in September we needed to get away and recharge this place certainly gave us that opportunity I can't reccomend this place highly enough absolutely great hosts and lovely part of Wales we will be returning for a short break again maybe next year well done kay and Jeff 5 stars 110%

    5 mins walk to the wonderful beach and sand dunes which are heaven for a nature lover (Oystercatchers, Common Terns, Gannets, Common Lizards, Porpoises and lots more). Just an excellent place to stay.

    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
