Cosy Fisherman's Cottage Near Aberdovey Golf Club
Cosy one bedroomed cottage nestled in a private terrace right in the centre of Aberdovey just set back from the main square. All amenities are in easy reach including the pet friendly beach and numerous restaurants, pubs and shops.
This charming cottage retains many of its original features including a wood burning stove with slate fireplace and oak flooring. It has a terraced enclosed separate rear garden that overlooks the village and estuary.
This cute, cosy cottage is ideal for couples- it has a light airy feel to the layout but a lovely wood burning stove cosy up to in the evening. Whilst it is tucked away in a secluded Terrace you are still right in the heart of the village just steps away from the dogs allowed beach, the restaurants and the lovely pet friendly pubs.
There is also an enclosed terraced garden which overlooks the village towards the estuary a real sun trap in the summer!
Once on Copperhill Street drive straight up and when you see FatFace on your right look for a small alleyway on your left in fifty yards between the two white houses. You can park to unload at the end of the alley but then you will need to move your car either further up the road under the railway bridge where there are often spaces along the roadside or down on the front opposite the main church if there are no spaces there there are two main car parks in Aberdovey one opposite the beach and the other next to the Penhelig Arms just past the railway bridge.
There will be a car park permit on the table for you to use whilst you are at the cottage. It is valid in both pay & display car parks in Aberdovey and any other Gwynedd Council run car parks.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO LEAVE THIS ON THE TABLE WHEN YOU LEAVE FOR THE NEXT GUESTS AS A REPLACEMENT COSTS £25
Check in is 4pm and check out at 11am we can sometimes change these if requested in advance.
Key found in key-safe to the left of the front door.
Recently refurbished to a high standard, this beautiful former Fisherman's cottage at Evans Terrace will provide you with the perfect seaside holiday in the heart of Aberdovey - a picturesque coastal village.
Situated in a secluded terrace, set back from the main square, you will be a hop, skip and a jump away from all this village has to offer and the local beach. The sandy beach is segregated into a family friendly area for building sand castles, water sports or a spot of crabbing off the ever popular jetty whilst further along is a pet friendly beach stretching for several miles. You will be in easy reach of shops, pubs and restaurants, whilst far enough away to remain undisturbed at night.
This charming cottage retains many original features, including a wood burning stove and slate fireplace. It also has many modern amenities including oak flooring throughout the ground floor, Wi-Fi and a fully equipped modern kitchen and bathroom.
