A really cosy retreat from the rat race. The cabin is so comfortable with all mod cons, offering a super relaxing stay. The ambience, wildlife and all were unforgettable. Aberdovey is a charming resort, unspoilt and very welcoming. I would fully recommend the cabin and area if you're seeking solitude.

very Clean and tidy and dog friendly, but very very quite, maybe a television should be added just for a bit of entertainment and there is only so much reading you could do in a week.

An adorable chalet. Completely set back up in the hillsides. Beautiful views, amazing views. Incredible at night. Perfect for a family reset, no tv or wifi so you talk, get to know each other again. Especially after a tragedy when someone needs to talk. Brought us peace. My dog absolutely loved it too. Beaches are a drive away. Perfect evening walks. Picnics in the day. Perfect for the budding photographer. Everyone is so friendly. Completely away from all the traffic your head is used to. X I will be booking again
