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.
Reviews
"I booked Braich-y-Celyn Lodge through Sykes Cottages for a week. The cottage is in a fabulous location with lovely views over the estuary. BUT. We had problems with the cottage. There was no hot water when we arrived which we would have expected as the immersion heater should have been on that morning. We discovered that it was set to come on for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon but it was only set at 20 degrees. We were told that it was to provide hot water for the kitchen sink and the bathroom hand basin. We should us the shower to bathe.If you advertise a bath with shower over you expect to be able to use the bath, why advertise bath if you can not use it? The cooker oven did not work and there is no microwave oven. We tried to contact the owner but got no response so called the caretaker Alan. He came out to sort the problem out for us on the Saturday evening and was eventually able to get it to work, apparently this problem had happened before. There were signs of slugs or snails on the lounge carpet and on the stairs and the whole cottage needed a good hoovering. While we loved Aberdovey and hope to return in the future we will not return to this property. We wrote to Sykes Cottages when we came home about the problems we encountered."
"My elderly mother and I had a very good week staying in this cottage with plenty of room for four if needed. My mother was a little anxious about the gap in the banister at the bottom of the stairs but she adjusted and after that we just enjoyed its cosiness and superior views. It is very well equipped and has lots of little touches that show the thoughtfulness of the owner. We would stay there again in a flash as apart from its own features it is a good centre to explore and enjoy the mid Wales area."
"the house is well placed and easy to find, the layout was modern and well layed out with comfortable beds. For our first first holiday in Wales this was a good location to pick, we found plenty of places to go and eat, we dined out 6 out of 7 nights. We will defenently going back soon."
"Lovely cottage with great view. Spotless and pleasant decor. Ideal spot for touring the area and very nice beach locally."
"Our week spent at Braich Y Celyn was most enjoyable in a very comfortable cottage situated in an ideal private location. The advantage of being able to park outside is quite considerable for aberdovey, and the close proximity to the main seafront area is really convenient particularly with the free car park pass provided. The cottage is warm and comfortable with all modern conveniences apart from a microwave which would be difficult to fit in. Everything was as promised on booking and we will look to stay there again."
"lovely white cottage in a great location with amazing views. facilities are great and modern. lots of space for the little ones and also incl safety gates and cots. the kitchen was good but lacks pots and pans overall a great place to stay and will revisit in the future"
