Property details

This unique single level holiday home sits in the Welsh seaside village of Aberdovey. If you’re in need of an escape from city life, then look no further than The Glass House. Perfectly positioned just two minutes from the beach in the pretty seaside village of Aberdyfi, this unique bungalow is the perfect spot for up to two couples or one couple with a child. The Glass House is set high up on the hill from the village itself boasting tremendous views over the sandy beach and across the bay. Aberdyfi is one of the most picturesque villages on the coast of Gwynedd and is situated within the Snowdonia National Park. If you’re keen to kick back and put your feet up, not to worry, The Glass House has all the lovely home comforts you could possibly need. From the front terrace with views across the estuary, to the cosy lounge with Smart TV, staying put for a lazy weekend has never been better. The interior is contemporary with rustic nautical likenesses, with a light colour scheme creating a calm atmosphere whilst staying on the coast. All the facilities are on the ground floor, including two bedrooms: one king-size bedroom and one double bedroom. A stylish bathroom offering a double sink and double shower. The modern kitchen comes fully equipped with all mod cons and big sliding glass patio doors which open out onto the terrace. This private outdoor space comes with table and chairs, perfect for stargazing or enjoying your morning coffee. Aberdyfi is a small quaint seaside village with an air of charm about it. There’s a whole street of independent shops to browse offering Ice cream parlours, cafés, restaurants, a butcher, gift shops, clothes stores, and a convenience store. With three pubs to choose from, and all positioned perfectly to enjoy the view over a drink, you’re spoiled for choice. Perhaps fish and chips by the sea, is your thing. Take a seat on the jetty and soak in the amazing sights. The gorgeous beach of perfect sand and the occasional sand dune extends for miles from Aberdyfi to the nearby town of Tywyn. Golf is also popular here where Aberdyfi’s famous links course is one of the UKs finest. An 18-hole golf course with excellent walking in the rolling lush green hills. For those who enjoy an escape from urban living, the surrounding countryside is filled with walking trails, cycling routes, and stunning areas to visit. Snowdonia National Park has it all, with its numerous exhilarating outdoor pursuits, steam train rides, historic castles and visitor attractions all within easy reach. The Glass House truly is a perfect spot for your next coastal getaway. Beach ½ mile. Pub and restaurant ½ mile. Access is via a key safe your code will be sent before your arrival. There are direct trains from Birmingham and Wolverhampton to Aberdovey. From the minute you book you will be in the safe hands of Lisa French of the property manager who will do her best to ensure you have the very best holiday experience from start to finish. Aberdyfi is a picturesque coastal village situated where the mountains meet the sea at the mouth of the River Dyfi in Southern Snowdonia. Its beach, with miles of perfect sand and occasional sand dunes, stretches from Aberdyfi to the nearby town of Tywyn. However, due to strong currents around the estuary mouth, swimmers need to be cautious while venturing out. Once a working port, Aberdyfi now caters to sailing and watersports enthusiasts. Its bustling harbour is an ideal base for crab fishing, scenic boat trips, sailing, kayaking, kite-flying, dog walking, and sandcastle building, all with magnificent views of Cardigan Bay. Look out for the bell hanging from the pier, which rings with the tide. The southern shore of Aberdyfi along the Dyfi Estuary is a part of the UNESCO Dyfi Bungalow Coastal Within 1 Mile Customers' Choice Detached Property Dishwasher Gas Fireplace (with Faux Woodburning Effect) Garden or Patio Golf nearby Ground Floor Accommodation Ground Floor Facilities Horse Riding nearby Luxury Open Plan Pub Within 1 Mile Ring Security Doorbell Romantic Getaways Sea View Shower Cubicle Washing Machine Waterside Breaks Wi-Fi Location Exact address provided after booking All instructions will be in a folder on the table when you arrive.

We had a lovely week in Aberdovey. The house was exactly as expected and in very good condition with everything we needed in the kitchen. Lisa was tremendously responsive on every query. Recommend Pink Cow for ice cream and dinner at Sea Breeze and Proper Gander in Tywyn.
