Relish a coastal adventure, enjoy outdoor activities, or just relax and unwind at this cosy cottage. Walk to the shop, rocky beach and join footpaths from the doorstep. Take a gentle stroll on a sandy beach, roam the coastal path or climb Cader Idris in Snowdonia National Park. Enjoy the wildlife and waters of the Mawddach and the Dyfi estuaries, board the steam train on the Talyllyn narrow-gauge historic railway or go underground in Corris Slate Mines.

Once ready, continue through to the dining room with bespoke settle, table and bench with plenty of space for everyone to gather around and enjoy a meal together. After dinner, walk through to the lounge with comfortable sofas and Smart TV, relax with a film and light the wood burner for cosy nights in whilst planning your activities. After a full day out, take a leisurely bath or shower in the bathroom with shower over bath and WC. There are two lovely bedrooms to choose from, the double or the twin, designed for a good night’s sleep.

The pretty garden has a table, chairs, and a charcoal BBQ to make the most of the weather; it's the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sound of the babbling stream.

The cottage was situated in an ideal area if you wanted to explore the snowdonia area. It was very comfortable and cosy. The private garden was ideal if you had any pets with you on holiday.

We had a lovely week at By The River, very comfortable and homely cottage in a great area. The village is friendly with pretty lanes, many of which lead to the beach or train station, embellished by some fantastic creations by the local knitting group! Local pebble beach, nearby beautiful sands at Fairbourne, and many coastal and woodland walks. GrRead moreeat for dogs. Local trains and steam trains a highlight. Good access to Eryrl NP and Lleyn peninsular from a quieter and picturesque area. Will return Hide

Reasonable sized rooms, efficient heating so cosy. Nice quiet village but further from Aberdovey than expected. Need to drive everywhere, we were unfortunate with trains not working while we were there. Nice local pub close by but found the cottage too dark and cluttered for our liking. Amazing beaches and scenery in each direction from village.

The cottage was lovely and homely. The car park was a bit further away than we expected. The village was pretty and everyone we met was very friendly.

Fantastic location, brilliant secure garden, beautiful, peaceful surroundings and a great pub next door. Couldn't ask for more! A great base in which to explore Wales from. We all had a fantastic holiday and look forward to returning next year.

Wonderful cottage in a wonderful little village, the garden is secure so bringing our dog was a pleasure.. Well placed for both walking and touring.
