The Experience
Up to the first floor for a spacious open-plan living, cooking and dining area with vaulted roof, wood-burner, soft sofas and cushions, plus good books and games – a lovely convivial spot for dining, reading, talking or watching a film together, without the cook feeling left out. Well-chosen pictures, pretty fabrics and ‘objets’ collected over time from antiques shops in Wales cast a homely light on it all.
Downstairs are a cosy double and twin, with sumptuous beds and linen and handmade cushions and curtains. The family bathroom is gorgeous with both bath and a walk-in shower. To the front you have a small gravel garden encircled by picket fencing, a cast iron table and chairs and a barbecue. This faces west for magical sunsets listening to birds, waiting for stars to appear.
Across the lane is the shared indoor heated pool (open from 7am till 9pm) and outdoor table tennis. There are three acres to roam and the Wales Coastal Path to join for stunning walks.

This was our second stay at dove cottage. We only stayed 2 nights, I wish we had stayed for longer. Perfect for family of four. Dog friendly. Beautiful floral arrangements inside the cottage were a lovely touch. The grounds are beautiful, especially the hydrangeas. We hope to return very soon.

Climb the stairs and discover a fabulous open-plan living space with vaulted ceilings, a wood-burner centre stage and super soft sofas that invite you to sink onto them with a good book. The immaculate family bathroom is another treat. Beaches and mountains are all within easy reach and you have 3-acres on your doorstep to roam: find the secret bench at sunset to watch the sun dip into the sea.

Location
The neighbourhood
On the western edge of Snowdonia National Park overlooking Cardigan Bay and with Cadair Idris nearby. The truly beautiful Dysynni Valley runs inland a few miles away and has the ruins of Castell y Bere to visit plus craggy Bird's Rock to climb (30 minutes to the top.) The coastal town of Aberdovey is a short drive for a good pub, the Penhelig Arms. Walk 10 mins to catch the train to Harlech.
Local points of interest from Lisa Kay
- The Secret Garden - Come on a very special treasure hunt, and find The Secret Garden in Tywyn! Right next to the Magic Lantern Cinema, enjoy cocktails, mocktails and cinema snacks in a very special location.
- Dolgoch Falls Waterfall Walk - Dolgoch Falls are a series of three impressive waterfalls forming part of the Nant Dol-Góch stream, a source for the River Fathew, and can be reached via a short walk. There are a number of caves and tunnels which you can explore on the route up.
- The Talyllyn Railway - The Talyllyn Railway is the worlds first preserved railway, and a must-have place to visit on your trip to Tywyn. Originally built in 1866 for carrying slate from Abergynolwyn to Tywyn, it runs for 7.25 miles through beautiful and unspoilt countryside.
- Aberdfyi - Is just a 15 minute drive, beautiful white sand beach, lots of water activities, great fish and chips and the best ice cream shop around!
- Castell y Bere - It may be remote, but Castell y Bere a magnet for all castle lovers. Strung along a jagged rocky outcrop in the Dysynni Valley at the foot of the mighty Cader Idris, Castell y Bere is especially good at evoking the spirit and atmosphere of Wales’s native castles.
- Cadair Idris - Cadair Idris is one of Wales’s most iconic mountains, standing around 893m in height, and situated in Southern Snowdonia, overlooking Dolgellau.

Introducing
Lisa Kay
Lisa and Gareth were looking for a project in the area so that they had a reason to return – Gareth's father lived in Tywyn just down the road, a place which held many childhood memories with his Nain Blod. They are passionate about the environment so have modernised Llanfendigaid in a sensitive way to restore the magic of the place whilst taking every consideration to care for and protect the planet. Local resident Emma is on hand and will meet you.
We had an amazing time at Llanfendigaid Estate! The hosts were super welcoming and quick to respond to any questions we had. The location couldn't be better; just a short 15 minute drive to the beach, lakes, rivers, and even waterfalls. It's the perfect spot if you love nature. The estate is huge, with beautiful gardens and a fantastic pool. We also loved stargazing at night; the sky was filled with stars and of course the weather helped. We had a great stay and would definitely come back.
