“Property is cosy with stunning views over the estuary.”

We had a great week and would go back. The wood burner is lovely and the facilities are easy to use. Bring roasting/baking dishes if that is your plan, also a cafetière if you drink coffee. No bbq but we brought our own travel one to use on the patio area. A great place to eat is Salt Marsh Kitchen in Twyn. The book of walks in the property is useful and we did several lovely ones- particularly recommend the hike to Bearded Lake. My friend felt the twin bedroom she stayed in was a bit damp, ...

My friend felt the twin bedroom she stayed in was a bit damp, although my room was fine. The property is set against the hillside so doubtless that is common. All in all, views to die for and cosy interior, would recommend.

“Firstly on arrival, having just driven almost 300 miles; all we wanted was a hot drink, there was nothing in the cottage at all, we've stayed in numerous cottages across the country and this is the 1st time we've never had a complementary tea/coffee/milk left.”

Bearing in mind it's a Sunday in Wales we had to get back in the car and go on a hunt for a shop still open. The cottage did have clean bed linen and towels but the place looked as if it hadn't been hoovered since the last visitors left, there was coal dirt all over the lounge floor, woodlice and a slug/snail trail across the floor and lounge wall. There were cobwebs in nearly every room. I attempted to hoover which was virtually impossible as it didn't have a carpet attachment! The bath still had a soap ring around it from the last visitors. There is no chance of walking to the village as there is no footpath or lighting along the 60mph road. One of the bedrooms has some kind of extraction unit which is running continuously. The overall experience and comfort was not what we were expecting, to the extent that we left 2 days early cutting our holiday short.

“Comfortable cottage, beautiful location”

The cottage is in a wonderful spot. All front windows look out over the vast Aberdovey estuary. We could not stop looking at the changing tides, bringing with them changes in colour and texture. The outside seating area is much better in reality than the promotional photo. It is completely off the main road and you could eat outside or sit and read in the shade of the trees. The cottage is cosy and well furnished...we wanted to stay longer. It’s location is excellent, close to Aberdovey and yet very quiet and peaceful. On arrival we did have to go and purchase toilet rolls, washing up liquid, dish cloth and paper towels. Cooking equipment, especially for baking / roasting is very limited, but if you plan not to self cater, it is fine. Take a cafeteria if you want coffee. For some reason power to all appliances was off when we arrived. It took us quite a while the work out how to unlock the oven and hot plate and various other items. Once sorted we had a great time and we would recommend staying here.

“When I booked the cottage I was aware it was a mile into Aberdovey but wasn’t made aware that you couldn’t actually walk in as the roads were too narrow and there were no paths, I would not have booked this cottage had I known that.”

The ‘garden’ area where the table and chairs are is not a welcoming area, it’s badly neglected and needs some TLC.

“It is a nice cosy cottage as described with a fantastic view that I wish I could have taken home with me!”
Miss Haxby October 2018

“The cottage was just as described and the views over the estuary were amazing.”

“The lodge was superb throughout.”

Stunning location and exceptionally quiet at night.
Mrs Utley August 2018

“Lovely stone cottage situated in a quiet spot overlooking the beautiful estuary.”

The views are incredible and always changing depending on the tides and weather. It was very restful sitting on the patio in the sunshine watching the views and estuary birds. Good use has been made of the space and the facilities were good with little luxuries like the wine cooler and heated towel rail. The underfloor heating was very comfortable and we didnt need any additional heating during our stay. Thanks for the welcoming bottle of wine - we enjoyed it. Aberdovey is a nice little seaside village and is centrally situated for visits to neighbouring market towns and seaside resorts. Thank you for a very nice stay.

“Delightful cottage in a delightful situation”

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.

“peace & quite with outstanding views & wild life”

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.

“Beautiful accommodation with fab view”

Lovely cottage with great view. Spotless and pleasant decor. Ideal spot for touring the area and very nice beach locally.

“Lovely cottage”

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.
Mr Marshall July 2011

“Excellent choice great views over the river dovey.”

We found this a very cosy cottage, even though on the main A493 did not notice the traffic at all very quite at night. Well place cottage for driving Snowdonia & mid Wales. We stop here back in 2011 and we still talk about the Braich Y Celyn Lodge.

The picturesque harbour village of Aberdovey is renowned for its mild climate, sandy beaches, sailing and a championship 18-hole links golf course (rated in the UK's top 100). The village is often referred to as “an artist's paradise” with its pastel-coloured cottages, small shops, inns and excellent restaurants which specialise in local seafood, all helping to create a relaxed welcoming atmosphere. Aberdovey boasts some of the finest beaches in Britain, with four miles of golden sand-dune-backed shoreline running north to Tywyn, home of the world-famous Talyllyn Steam Railway and crab fishing.
