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.

A lovely large, clean room with a sea view. A very comfy bed, plenty of sockets by the bed and around the room and a decent sized TV. A great shower with plenty of hot water. We didn't have breakfast at the Inn but we did eat our evening meal there a few times. We always booked a table as it did look busy. The food was the usual pub grub and was hot and tasty. We would definitely stay here again.

Just a lovely place room was really nice over looking the sea. The only problem was that they couldn’t get the ovens mended but it was out of their hands. So it was a limited menu but the meals we had were really nice. Good choice on breakfasts as well. The only thing is I think it would be really nice is to have some throw away paper place mats to place on the tables as sometimes a table gets a bit sticky.

We are returning customers. We are never disappointed staying at the dovey inn. Staff are great, food is awesome and the rooms are clean and extremely comfortable. We sleep better at the dovey than we do at home.

Avoid Hotels.com as they don't issue refunds
The room was perfect apart from the air conditioner which was so noisy even when switched off, it woke us up every 30 mins, Hotels.com have not issued a refund even though Dovey hotel were very happy to do this. Avoid booking through Hotels.com, unable to speak or contact them.

First up, the beds were clean and super comfortable so was happy about that. What we really couldn't cope with was the fact that we couldn't open any windows in a 32° heatwave. It was absolutely sweltering in the room. We were given two tiny desk fans which didn't help much. The bathroom was unpleasant and had peeling plaster on the walls and a mouldy shower curtain. The pub itself is dirty and unloved. We used to use the Dovey Inn twenty years ago or so and it was always homely and we'll kept. It doesn't look like Marston's taking over has done anything to improve it, rather the opposite. Patio area outside was filthy and unkempt, glasses left on tables for ages. Was really disappointed to see the decline of this once lovely seaside pub. The staff were lovely, I did raise the issues with the last who checked me out, who was lovely. For just under £300 for two nights, I feel ripped off.

Hotel was a little ways up from the train station, but it was flat, so no worries! Stairs are a bit narrow and step, so if you’re like me and have mobility issues, be sure to ask for a room on the first floor. Location is prime! Would stay there again.
