Aber Cottage

Aber Cottage sits on Smithfield Street in Dolgellau, a stone cottage and listed building thought to be around 250 years old, run as a bed and breakfast by Caroline and Kevin. Each of its en-suite rooms comes with a dedicated parking space in a secure private car park, a detail that matters in a market town with limited street parking. The owners cater deliberately to walkers, climbers and mountain bikers, offering secure storage for boots, bikes and equipment alongside the usual wi-fi and tea tray. Cadair Idris, the Mawddach Trail and the forest trails of Coed-y-Brenin all lie within easy reach, as do the beaches at Fairbourne and Barmouth. The building's age means some rooms and stairways may not suit guests with limited mobility.
