Evenings spent by the water’s edge, cosied up round the firepit and watching the sun set over the river? Simply blissful, and a regular happening for those who make their way to Smugglers Cove Boatyard, a properly peaceful place down on the Dyfi estuary three miles from Aberdyfi and seven from Machynlleth. The views by day from here are pretty special too, looking out over the river towards Ynys-Hir RSPB reserve and Borth Bog National Nature Reserve. When the tide’s out a little beach appears for paddling; when the water’s higher it’s possible to swim or launch canoes or boats from the slipway (bring them along to use the boatyard’s storage facilities if you wish). Adding to the chilled vibe is the lack of cars down by the river’s edge – wheelbarrows are provided to help you transport your kit along the 100-metre stretch between the parking area and pitches, which travels through the traditional working boatyard and along part of the coastal path. This path has uneven ground, as it's between the river and the tree-line, and beneath the embankment of a raised coastal road. If you can tear yourself away from gazing out over the water, there’s plenty of wholesome activity to be had nearby, including boating, beaches and birdwatching. The Cambrian railway line runs through the property along a raised embankment and disappears into a tunnel deep in the hill behind the foreshore and pitches, and the coastal A493 also runs above the property; most of the guests don't seem to mind this, but the owners want you to be aware. Smuggler's Cove is a working boatyard and therefore there will possibly be some noise such as clanking rigging and people working on their boats.

Plass for telt (Dyfi) på blandet underlag , uten strøm

Likte: I found the boatyard interesting and full of history. The Pitches. All pitches are Sth Faceing and has the sun all day,nice for the summer. Pitches, 3 inall, have excellent coverage on all 3 sides with trees and bushes and a step bank at the back. Coverage from the wind and rain is good. Spent 6th/19th October there . So yes good coverage. The views and scenery are out standing. Apart from the 2 weekends when other people where useing other pitches, I did not see a soul. Campfires allowed and each pitch had it's own firepit. From car park to pitches is a bit of a hike and a quarter of the path is uneven and needs a steady foot. Wheelbarrows are provided to cart your equipment to the pitches. Suggest a look 1st. Other then that quarter part of path reast ok. Showers and toilets(2) are very clean. I used the one at car park. If you like wild camping and be offgrid, then this is the place. So quite and tranquil.

Likte ikke: The quarter part of the path.

Likte: Great stay yet again, made use out of the barbecue this stay and was very enjoyable. Showers were super hot and clean. It’s very peaceful as this boatyard is so quiet and visitors are respectful. Not to do with the accomodation - Be very very carful of the tide! Walked out shin deep and came in above knee in less than 5 minutes!

Likte ikke: Would have loved our own covered area outside just in case the weather turned, it could be equally as quirky as the boat however this didn’t ruin our stay.

Marina, ankerplass, fortøyning The Boy John 1 rom

Likte: Boy John is an amazing boat! The area to explore is fantastic, the accommodation inside the boat is excellent, spacious and clean. There are places to sit in the Sun in the shade outside of the boat, as well as inside, it is a place to chill unwind and find yourself. There is a sink on board the boat and there is a shower block with a toilet just a short distance away. Adequate lighting on board for the dark evenings.

Plass for telt (Angell) på blandet underlag , uten strøm (XL)

Likte: Fab views and sounds of nature.

Likte ikke: Getting to pitches with gear from car is potentially a pain despite wheel barrows provided. Not suitable for less agile individuals or those visially impaired.

Marina, ankerplass, fortøyning Hannah 2 soverom

Likte: We stayed in the Hannah, although a small boat, it had everything we needed and the layout was convenient and there was lots of storage. We loved our stay and the boat was incredible. The views were stunning and staff were friendly and attentive. The facilities were kept clean throughout the day and the site has a lovely atmosphere about it. I highly recommend the Smugglers Cove Boatyard.

Plass for telt (Dulas) på blandet underlag , uten strøm

Likte: Everything… absolutely stunning location we had pitch Dulas this was the only one available when we booked but it did not disappoint. Views spectacular. Rained while we were there however this did not disappoint we were slightly sheltered by the trees. Swimming in the sea on an evening before sitting down to a campfire and a glass off red wine. Facilities are as expected clean and fit for purpose. Wild camp experience will definitely visit again.

Likte ikke: Nothing

Veibeskrivelse av ruten

Using the postcode on satnav may redirect to Aberdovey Luxury Lodges. When you're close, ignore the directions and stay on the A493 until you see the entrance to the boatyard, on the river side of the road (left if coming from Machynlleth, right from Aberdyfi). Park up and walk up the path to the right of the curved building and under the railway bridge. The Boy John is on your right, Hannah just beyond. For the pitches, go down the slipway, turning left along the path below the sea wall.

Lokale attraksjoner

Bring your binoculars if you’re into birdwatching, for there’s much twitching activity nearby – geese and wading birds fish just by the site, and there are nesting ospreys along the river at the Dyfi Osprey Project. More spotting, along with super views towards Snowdonia, can be had from Ynys-Hir RSPB reserve (home to the BBC's Springwatch programme for several seasons), which is around a 20-minute drive away. If it’s beaches you seek, your nearest is the wide sandy stretch in Aberdyfi, 10 minutes away – also a good spot for a round of golf, a bit of fishing or watersports including sailing, canoeing and kitesurfing. For a bit of town time, head into Machynlleth, 10 minutes’ drive away, for independent shops, a leisure centre and concerts or exhibitions at the MOMA Machynlleth performing arts centre. Cultured types might also like to pay a visit to the renovated 1920s Magic Lantern Cinema 15 minutes away in Tywyn.
