General

Originally a stable block to the former Bishop of Bangor's Palace which was destroyed by fire in the 1950s, the Old Stables were converted into luxurious apartments. The apartment sleeps 4 people in 2 bedrooms offering either a twin or king size bed. Both bedrooms offer fabulous views over the estuary and the double bedroom has doors opening out onto the private wrap around terrace. The apartment is fitted with underfloor heating throughout so it is nice cosy at any time of year and it is also pet friendly so the whole family can come along.

The Old Stable apartments are situated in a peaceful hillside location in Aberdyfi, at the southern tip of the Snowdonia National Park. The apartment has a south-facing terrace from which you can enjoy the fantastic views of Dyfi Estuary, an RSPB and Unesco Biosphere site and Plynlimon Hills beyond. Remember to bring your binoculars with you as Ospreys are known to nest on the estuary in the summer months.

There is plenty to do locally in Aberdovey which is only 3 miles away. For the outdoor lover there is plenty of mountain biking and hiking available in the area. However, further afield, a 70 minute drive north will bring you the popular tourist attraction of Portmerion or the sandy beaches at Barmouth. Travel an hour south and you will come to Aberystwyth. Stroll along the Victorian Promenade and visit the oldest pier in Wales. Walk up the 430ft Constitution Hill to get the best vantage point of the sea, the town and 26 Welsh mountain peaks. Whilst there, make sure you visit the world’s largest Camera Obscura giving a bird’s eye view of more than 1000 square miles. End the day by taking the Aberystwyth Funicular Railway back down. Return to your accommodation after your busy day, fire up the barbeque and then dine alfresco as you watch the sun go down.

Terms & Conditions

General
A contract for a letting is made between the person who makes the booking and Steeplehouse Ltd, the owner of the property. That person is deemed to have accepted these booking conditions on behalf of all the members of their party and is responsible for informing them of these.
Bookings are for holiday purposes and cannot give rise to a tenancy.

Short Breaks
Tenancies are usually for a minimum of one week but, where agreed with Steeplehouse, short breaks can be offered. These will be charged at of 65% of the advertised weekly rental for 3 consecutive nights, 4 nights = 75%, 5 nights = 85%, and 6 nights will be charged at the full weekly rental.

Making payment
A deposit of 30% is payable within seven days of Steeplehouse accepting a reservation and issuing a booking reference and is non-refundable.
The balance of the payment is due 8 weeks prior to the start of the holiday and can be paid by cheque or by debit/credit card.
Once confirmation has been issued, you are legally liable for the full balance payment. We therefore recommend that cancellation insurance is taken out to cover the full rental cost in case of cancellation.
If after cancellation by you Steeplehouse is able to re-let the property, the booking fee already paid will be refunded, less an administration fee of 10% of the total deposit. In the event that the property is not re-let, then any booking fee already paid will not be refunded and you will remain liable for the full balance payment on the due date.
If any payment due in relation to your booking is not paid by the appropriate date, Steeplehouse will treat your booking as cancelled by you.

Pets
Small well-behaved dogs are permitted at a charge of £20 each (maximum 2). Dogs must not be left unattended in the property and should be exercised off the premises. Pets should not be allowed in the bedrooms or on the furniture and must be kept under control at all times. Cats are only permitted with prior approval due to potential allergy problems for future guests.

Alteration or cancellation by the owner
Where Steeplehouse is unable to honour a booking for any reason, every effort will be made to offer a suitable alternative property. If this is not possible, a full refund of all monies paid will be made. Steeplehouse will not be liable for any further compensation.

Complaints
All complaints should be notified to Steeplehouse immediately to ensure sufficient time is given to investigate and/or take the necessary remedial action. Compensation will not be offered where the Tenant has denied Steeplehouse the opportunity to rectify matters during their holiday.
