Nice house in quiet area

Good spot near the Penheliq hotel, easy access down into the water for paddleboarding. Short walk into the town, but great views from the house having your breakfast in the morning. Wi fi not great this end of town, so if you have a gaming child there life may be unduly impacted by the unstable internet for gaming (leave the gaming at home) 😃 Host was nice Michelle, answered queries quickly, but you do need to return the key by registered post after your stay. Cleaning could have been better by the local company, as house was mainly clean, but the hosts haven’t been for a while (hence cleaning company could have cleaned the house fully) All in all a good stay and would stay here again. The host welcomed any feedback.

Nice location

Location was great, right on the sea with great views and a short walk from amenities. Bit difficult with older, disabled relatives as only way to drop them off is to park on double-yellows on a narrow bend, then move the car up the road to the public car park (permits provided). But house was spacious and well furnished. Only thing we would have liked was a tumble dryer to deal with the wet clothes and washing.

Perfect family getaway

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Aberdovey. The house was clean, spacious and well kitted out. The on-road location is not ideal but it didn’t seem to matter. Aberdovey had something for everyone - the beach, sand dunes, hills, shops (especially the ice cream shop!), pubs, restaurants… I needn’t have worried about the parking. Most of the time our 2 cars were parked 30m from the front door. And the car park was close by anyway. This was our first holiday in this part of the world and I’m pretty sure we’ll be coming back.

Pleasantly surprised!

It was so much roomier than I expected and very well equipped and comfortable. We liked the kitchen diner for meals and games around the table. Having two living rooms was helpful too. We had mostly lovely weather until the last two days and had great days on the beach swimming and playing games. I loved the view from my bed over the estuary! Being on the road was a slight drawback but we managed well enough with the car parking. Thank you.

Fabulous mini break in Aberdovey

From start to finish we have no complaints. We've not used this site before so were a little bit apprehensive but it was easy to choose and book a property. The property itself was stunning and in a beautiful location. As we only stayed for a short weekend break we didn't utilise the kitchen but it was well equipped and had everything you would need to cater for a large group. The owner was very helpful from the start and recommended things to do in the local area. The house was clean and perfect for what we needed. Thank you very much for letting us stay in your beautiful home. Hopefully next time we can come for a longer stay 😊

Fabulous place to stay

Great location. Lovely house - needs a lick of paint perhaps and a little updating - none of which takes away from the fun had by our family. Great set of facilities. Shame no Wi-Fi but we didn't die of boredom! Plenty to do and see. Main road and parking were negotiated well and without too much difficulty - road-users used to pedestrians on the road so safe enough. Beautiful views all around and lovely clean beach. Would definitely visit Aberdovey again.

Family holiday

We had a lovely family holiday with 9 of us (3 generations) staying in the house. It was spacious, the configuration of bedrooms worked for our family and the kitchen was well equipped. The location was great in terms of proximity to the beach and the views across the estuary were beautiful. We would have appreciated WiFi access and would have preferred for the end of holiday cleaning to be part of the package rather than having the responsibility ourselves.

Lovely house with a beautiful view!

We were a family group of 7 aged between 6&70. We stayed here for a week at the end of July. The house is lovely. The facilities are good, it had everything we needed. The weather wasn’t great so we were inside more than we would have been! It was a lovely 5-10min walk along the front to the beautiful beach. It’s a lovely little area that’s very dog friendly! Most of the shops don’t take cards, so take cash with you! If you forget, you can get cash out from the post office. Nice peaceful and relaxing holiday - Thank You!

We are a family of 5 who have had many a fantastic holiday in Aberdovey. The activities have changed as the children have grown up from playing on the beach and crabbing to now kayaking, paddle boarding and jumping off the jetty.
