An unique spot on the stunning mid Wales coast\.\.\. \.\.\.offering group accommodation, camping and glamping in a working boatyard with an exceptional location\. This small, friendly boatyard on the Dyfi estuary, is located at an old slate works and quay in the Snowdonia National Park\. The boatyard is run by Geoff, Ben, John & Liz with the boats moved and launched by boat builder Giles Thaxton\. We have established a small, slightly eccentric, sustainable resource to be used by those interested in the outdoors\. We have a slipway and boat hoist, moorings & hard standing for smaller boats, our own stretch of estuary foreshore, toilets, showers, washing up facilities, camping, glamping boats and holiday cottages\. Located 3 miles upriver from Aberdyfi and on the A493\. Camping \- Along a coastal footpath, a hundred meters from the boatyard, three individual camping pitches on the Dyfi’s banks, tucked beneath the tree line and separated by greenery, provide the ultimate waterside location\. The Boy John \- a converted beached boat that offers either a communal area for campers or quirky basic glamping accommodation\.\.\.depending on your individual requirements, with outstanding views across the Dyfi estuary\. Hannah \- our newest boat, converted in 2021, an intimate, sympathetically repurposed wooden dream sits on the water's edge alongside The Boy John, perfect basic glamping accommodation for the sea leg\-less sailor\. Cottages \- a unique self catering holiday cottage complex accommodating 14 people \(18 using both available sofa beds\)\. Ideal for family reunions, celebrations, special occasions and get togethers\. The property consists of two closely adjacent buildings, Chapel House with five bedrooms & Quarry Cottage with two bedrooms\. The properties are only available to rent together as a single holiday let\. Boatyard \- a small resource with slipway, moorings, winter storage and lifting, repair services etc\. Located very near to Aberdyfi, the location is ideal for easy access to the numerous activities, attractions and beautiful surroundings of Snowdonia National Park, north and mid Wales\. Please be aware Smuggler's Cove Boatyard is a working boatyard and therefore there will possibly be some noise such as clanking rigging and people working on their boats\. Also it can get pretty windy and wild on the foreshore during stormy weather, and you are very close to the water, which can be exhilarating but is just something else to be aware of\!
