There is no parking on site like website states. If you can park across from the Inn it is free. There is a big public car park near the beach which is park and pay. We had a nice Sea View room. Room could benefit having a sofa.

Great views, comfy.

Stayed here for a weekend event at the Talyllyn Railway in Tywyn - chosen as it was close to the station and other amenities. Had a pleasant stay, no noise from bar other than some rowdy guest arriving early morning for a few minutes. Lovely view of the beach, close to cafes and shops. Short walk to the beach and not too far for the train station. Only issue was the shower being too hot with no obvious way to cool the temperature, AC in room was a little noisy at random times - but I got used to this on second night. Overall a pleasant stay.

Lovely setting

The hotel is a fully functional pub and hotel. This was not a problem for me. Clean room, friendly staff, comfortable bed and a great view from my window over a beautiful coastal bay. The only issue I had was that the shower temperature was difficult to control.

Exemplary customer service and friendly staff - cannot fault them at all! Great dinner and breakfast too. Great location for anyone wishing to escape to a quiet fishing village and/or the local hills, whether for the views or watch the military jets flying low overhead (or below them!) Would very happily return and recommend! Highly recommend visitors also visit the birthplace inspiration behind Thomas The Tank Engine at nearby Tywyn Wharf Railway Station.

Last minute 1 night away to our fav destination

Aberdovey is a great place to visit and the location of Dovey Inn is perfect close to beach and shops, Great view from bedroom. We tend to eat out but the atmosphere in the Dovey is friendly and fun and dog friendly in the bar. Go often as we live only 1hour away.

Scenic stay in an old inn

This is a fantastic location overlooking the beach and inlet and our room offered wonderful views. The building has been an inn since 1729 and has lots of character. Rooms have recently been done up and are very comfortable. There’s sn excellent range of breakfast options to choose from for a reasonable price. A great place to stay!

Great place to be !!!

Value for money stay and so much more at the Dovey right on the harbour front you are very much connected to the sea with dramatic mountain back drop when weather allows you to enjoy the views. Great atmosphere created by friendly staff team and "locals" who enjoy the great beers available. Food is great good menu Will return personally to enjoy Aberdovey again.
