Rock Bottom is a quaint cottage on the shores of the Dovey Estuary. Built in 1850 with slate which was blasted from the cliffs and tunnels during the time when the Cambrian Coast railway was being built for the workers to live in. The cottage has the classic view of Aberdovey, looking down the estuary and out to sea were you can watch the tides ebb and flow throughout the year.

In 2005 the property was extensively renovated to the highest standard. A raised decked area with seating was also added, this offers stunning views over the Dovey Estuary, as well as being a sun trap in the summer.

Please be aware there are steep steps in and around the cottage, these are not suitable for children to play on unsupervised or for the elderly and disabled.

Inside the property on the ground floor is an open plan kitchen and living area with LCD TV and a set of double doors leading out on to the front patio. On the first floor there is a bunk bedroom the second floor has a double bedroom , modern bathroom and an outside door leading to the rear of the property.

Parking is in the local pay and display car park just over 100m from the cottage, one car pass is provided for guests.

The cottage is located in the Penhelig area of Aberdovey close to the sea, Local Park, the Old Roman Road and a small Penhelig railway halt. From here you can explore the Dovey estuary foreshore along the Old Roman Road to Picnic Island, fish off the rocks, visit the beach or just relax with the views across the estuary. Also situated nearby is the award winning Penhelig Arms Hotel, with its excellent selection of beers, wine and outstanding restaurant.


If hill walking is your passion, you can trace the footpath into the centre of Aberdovey and follow the signs up onto Bwlchgwyn and along the path down in to the beautiful Happy Valley, or walk the ridge line to the mysterious Llyn Barfog (Bearded Lake). Although some parts of these walks can be strenuous, they are well within most people’s ability (remember to take warm clothing and good boots).

In the summer take a picnic and spend the day in the hills with the wild life, fresh air and outstanding scenery, it will be a carefree day your will remember for a long time.

Dovey Cottages can supply you with route cards for all these walks, as well as advice on local sites and attractions to visit. Whatever your interest or sport, just give us a call.
