Apartment 1

Apartment 1 comes with everything already sorted: bed linen and towels are provided, wi-fi is on, heating and electricity are covered, and there's a welcome pack waiting. The kitchen is fully equipped for proper cooking—electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer included—so you can eat in as easily as eating out. A 50-inch smart TV is in the living and dining room for quieter evenings.

The two bedrooms and two bathrooms mean everyone has their own space. One bedroom has a double bed with an ensuite shower; the other has a kingsize. The second bathroom combines a bath with overhead shower and a heated towel rail. Everything is on the ground floor. Parking is arranged via permit for one car in public car parks, with additional on-road parking available. One well-behaved pet is welcome.

Location-wise, you're 100 yards from the beach in Aberdovey itself, with a pub and shops equally close by. The village sits at the southern edge of Snowdonia National Park, putting walkers within reach of serious terrain, while the 18-hole golf course and local sailing, fishing and windsurfing cater to other pursuits. A tapas and wine bar operates Thursday to Sunday. Non-smokers only, please.
