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.

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.
