We just love reading through the fabulous comments left by our guests……

“We have thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night break in The Old Lifeboat House Aberdyfi .
The accommodation is fabulous. The interior fit has been done to a high standard and provided us with everything we required during our stay. Although it has been very wet outside the large windows give plenty of natural light and the bedroom windows give a tranquil view of the Dyfi estuary which is quite special. Relaxing on the bed you could be forgiven for thinking you are onboard a cruise ship!
The original floorboards are amazing and ooze with the history of the building This is the 4th holiday home we have stayed in Aberdyfi and it is our favourite so far.
We enjoyed coffee and cakes in Coast and walks on the beautiful beach with our dogs as well as relaxing in the lovely accommodation.

Thank you for the bottle of wine and dog treats and a cosy home on arrival, a lovely touch and much appreciated. We shall return!”

A view from the windows to match today’s comment in the visitor’s book……

“At last we got here after a 2 year wait! The tide ebbs and flows around the ‘house’ and the rhythms of the sea are felt. A wonderful place.”

Wonderful photo by Welsh photographs

The old lifeboat house, Aberdyfi, Gwynedd, Wales, UK 01.01.21
Aberdovey, or Aberdyfi, was once a sleepy Welsh fishing village with few inhabitants or dwellings. At the end nineteenth century, the village grew rapidly as the industrial revolution took hold and proved to be a boom time for Aberdovey. Ship-building transfomed the tranquil village into a busy, vibrant place with virtually all inhabitants involved with the sea. Just between the years of 1840 to 1880, forty five sailing ships were built at seven yards between Penhelig and Picnic Island, with each ship taking a year to build.
All of this increased sea activity necessitated the building of a lifeboat house and Traeth Dyfi was built for that purpose in 1837. The first lifeboat, Victoria, was purchased for £67 and housed here for twenty years. She was sail and oar powered boat on a wheeled carriage, which was pulled through the village by horses to a suitable launching point, sometimes many miles away depending on the tide and wind directions. There are documents telling of her beaching as far away as Llanegryn and the lifeboat men having to walk back to Aberdovey
