Beautiful, incredibly preserved small market town.
Beautiful, incredibly preserved small market town. The weather didn't allow us to explore close surroundingds as we wished.
The town itself has got plenty of pubs, cafes, gift shops, art shops.
The people we met so friendly.
The cherry on the cake is a second hand book shop. The books there just incredible!

The parking was not good steep narrow road I think once inside the property there was 44 steps or stairs some very steep and narrow, wouldn’t recommend to guests with any type of mobility issues. Lounge furniture needs replacing very old and uncomfortable lounge smelt musty. One of the bedrooms very damp with mushroom type mould Growing on wall and carpet. Bathrooms very nice modern plenty of them. Everything you needed supplied in the kitchen. Beds very comfortable lovely bedding. Garden unkempt and garden furniture rusty.

A well maintained property, with delightful hosts. Breakfasts very good.
Lovely gardens and views of the countryside/hills. Room facilities good, comfy & cosy. I plan to stay here again when next visiting the area. I have no hesitation in recommending it to others.
Good base for lots of things. great walking area. I used it as a base for a golfing break as it's in the centre of a triangle of some great links golf courses incl St David's [Harlech], Aberdovey, and Porthmadog, And the spectacular Welshpool GC with amazing views over 5 counties! The wonderful village of Portmeirion [famous for it's use in the 60's TV series 'The Prisoner'] is not too far away either

Great walking - either flat to Barmouth, or up the mountain. A great selection of pubs, all serving good beer, and a decent curry house (the Lemon Grass - but cash only and BYOB). Has everything you need for a few days away.

Beautiful thriving little market town with lots of unique shops, as well as a few staples, and a big Spar. The restuarant that we went to (Y Sospan) was amazing. You don't need a car to get around town, and if you bring your bikes or walking gear, the estuary and mountains are yours for the views and swimming.

A lovely little town with many attractive shops and restaurants.
We visited the tapas bar more than once.
The food was delicious.
It is an ideal location for exploring the Snowdonia area and for going south to Mid-Wales.
Had the hotel to ourselves as no other hotel guests booked in.
Location fab, lovely pub/restaurant/hotel.
Clean and tidy and very welcoming, friendly staff.
Breakfast was amazing.
Didn't eat in the evening as the one veggie option wasn't to our 5aste but they did offer to be flexible and offered us two other dishes but we decided to explore Dolgellau for a change. Have been to the curry night before...excellent definitely stay again.
Fantastic stay, the surrounding landscapes were beautiful with the Torrent Walk nearby and Dolgellau further down, logs provided for £5 too and showers/toilets nearby.
The receptionist was really pleasant and accommodating and the room was very well organised. Will definitely be staying here again 👍
The breakfast was absolutely delicious! Nick was so friendly with such a warm accommodating attitude, As I went climbing near by, he phone to check in when it got late to make sure I was safe, I missed breakfast the next morning, but he so kindly left me a nice bacon roll for when I returned.
Clean and comfortable accommodation. and helpful, friendly staff. The hotel did not provide dinner, but restaurants are readily available in Dolgellau and take-aways are allowed in the room. Breakfast is delivered to the room and was wonderful. A very enjoyable stay, thank you.
Generous hosts. Room had modern decor, well-equipped kitchen, nice breakfast options available, and a comfortable living area. Lots of on-site parking, and Dolgellau is a pretty town to spend time in. The area was quiet, and convenient for hiking in Snowdonia park.
Amazing view on Cader Idris through the window.
Great location, 10 minutes walk to Dolgellau.
Clean and comfortable room. All clean and fresh, homely feel, peaceful area.
Kettle and mugs in the room in case you'd like some coffee or tea.
Good wifi in the room.
The hotel manager, Kasia, was an absolute delight. Her grace and charm added immensely to our visit. The location was near hiking trails and a delightful pub across the 30 pence walking bridge. The view from the grounds was outstanding across the estuary.
The cottage is absolutely lovely and located near to the center of Dolgellau. Caroline and Kevin were friendly and very helpful. They gave us loads of information about the village, giving us trips of what to see and where to eat.
On the off set the accommodation was set in a really nice area with lovely scenery. The staff seemed very pleasant (when you could get them) and helpful. The design of the place was nice, just run down in a lot of places.
An excellent breakfast with plenty of choice. Lovely hosts, very friendly with plenty of tips for local area. Very comfortable room with nice extras such as mini fridge with fresh milk for hot drinks and welsh cakes.
Great views from the cottage. Lovely and warm. lots of different spaces to sit. Very beautiful area to visit. Good walking from the cottage so no need to drive. Close to Dolgellau for food shopping and cafes.
The staff, the food, the comfort was all outstanding. I have no doubt that the owners will manage to fix this hotel as the first 6star accommodation in Wales. I can not fault their devotion to this aim.
The staff were so friendly and made us feel so welcome , we loved our room it was quiet and we had a great nights sleep , food was delicious and a good atmosphere in the bar area .
spacious room, comfortable bed and sofa, large tv, good Wi-Fi signal, breakfast in the bedroom, hottest hot water in north wales, views over Cader Idris, peaceful morning.
