Westhaven

Photo: Westhaven Apartments

Westhaven suits couples, small families and friend groups after a coastal break. This first-floor flat occupies part of a historic Georgian building in Aberdovey's centre, within a minute of the waterfront. The living room's bay windows face the water—a pair of seats lets you settle in and watch boats on the estuary. Beyond lies a glass dining table in the kitchen/diner, where you can prepare meals with room to gather. A utility room with washer and tumble dryer handles laundry for the week.

The main bedroom has a kingsize bed and ensuite shower; the second bedroom is a double. Both rooms connect to proper sleep space without compromise. A family bathroom serves the property, heated towels included. Essentials like electricity, bed linen, towels and wi-fi are covered; the kitchen equips you for cooking, with a range, dishwasher and American fridge. One car space sits outside.

Aberdovey offers independent shops, cafés and restaurants along the water. The village sits between four miles of sand-backed beach to the north and Eryri National Park inland, making it accessible for both seaside days and hill walking. The Talyllyn Railway and Dyfi Osprey Project are nearby. No smoking inside.

Highly recommend this lovely apartment. Perfect location right in the heart of Aberdovey. Aberdovey is one of our favourite places, the beach goes on forever, there a lovely little shops to potter around, gorgeous places to eat, crabbing off the jetty, a playground for the children. We can’t wait to go back.

We feel so lucky to have found this place and to been able to make such special family memories here. It’s location is just perfect, it manages to sit right the heart of the town and provide a wonderful vantage point to watch people coming and going, yet it’s first floor keeps it secluded and private at the same time and from the bedrooms at the back one could believe they were not in a town at all, as a tall cliff protects the silence for a restful sleep. Overlooking the beach makes the unpredictable Welsh weather a less of a hazard, as one can watch for the perfect weather window to steal an hour on the beach, or even a sea swim, returning to a warm shower or to soak in that fabulous huge bath. If the rain should hold off, which it blissfully did for us, the sandy beach stretches for miles, backed by a wilderness of dunes and grasses perfect for children to race down and explore, and the apartment is close to nip back to and prepare a picnic from, or even a BBQ on the sand. I could go on and on! The children found the jetty a wonderful place for crabbing and the handy picnic chairs were much appreciated by we adults as we rewarded ourselves for supervising with delicious locally made ice creams from the shop a few doors down from the apartment. I strongly recommend this place for a family although please don’t book for the same week as us because we’ll be returning for sure!!!

JENNY MATTHEWS RECOMMENDS SEA VIEW ABERDOVEY DOT COM 5 Stars – Highly Recommended. Sally’s flat was a revelation – luxurious to a high standard, with a dream kitchen providing all one would need, comfortable beds, and a beautiful bay window with 2 relaxing chairs in which to sit and watch the goings-on in the RNLI centre, with the expanse of beach beyond, was gorgeous – but we found ourselves nodding off having breathed all the wonderful sea air! I went to Aberdovey with my family when I was 10, so it was a real joy to go again as an adult, and realise the place was still as lovely and had not been spoilt. We ate at 2 seafront restaurants and loved the food, and friendly service. Round the corner in the quaint little streets we found individual shops with a marine flavour, but also Sea Salt and Joules to browse in if we were in a browsing mood. It was impossible to pass by the ice cream shop! We will definitely come again to pass another weekend to remember. Spacious rooms Thoughtful amenities Historic Building
