  • "N ideal spot for visiting the area, with main roads nearby, We were given a parking permit for the long stay car park which is a 5 minute walk away (not to be confused with the short stay which you have to walk through)."

    You can park on the next street but only for 2 hours during the daytime. Stairs in the cottage are really steep but there is a bannister, though the toilet is downstairs. Quiet street, even though you're in the town centre. Central heating is super efficient and plenty of storage. Could do with some new pillows as they're a bit flat.

    Unfortunately the wifi didn’t work after the first day which was a problem as we both required it for work on several occasions.

  • "The property worked really well for the 2 of us had everything we needed."

    The parking in the car park was close by. The cottage was very central so shops and pubs close to hand. The single mattress was a bit uncomfortable and the TV was an issue getting tuned in.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay and exploring the area."

    The cottage location couldn’t be much better for the local amenities and the parking arrangements were convenient considering how close the property was to town. The living area and kitchen were great for our needs and aligned to expectations. The main bedroom was fine with plenty of storage albeit the wardrobe could appreciate a little maintenance. The main bedroom is on the front of the house but very quiet at night albeit a short walk from town. My friend was staying in the second bedroom so can’t really comment on this. The bathroom was functional but could benefit from updating in some areas particularly the sink area. Overall a great few days in a beautiful area and look forward to staying in the region again.

    The cottage is lovely. The area is fantastic. The parking situation could be a little hairy if you have a larger car. Parking in Dolgellau can be feisty. The bathroom would benefit from some updating. On the whole well worth a visit. We would come back. Thank you Debra and Mr Debra.

    The only small qualm we had is that the mattress good do with updating in the main bedroom but no biggy. Debra is a great host and even decorated the cottage ready for Xmas, would definitely stay again.

  • "We were expecting great things from Dolgellau based on previous reviews."

    However a lot of shops were closed, there was no market and only 1 coffee shop suitable to take our dog. The cottage had everything we needed. It was very dark though and decor quite tired. The bathroom in particular (downstairs and stairs VERY steep) could do with a refurb. Weather was awful and we ended up leaving early. Not our greatest Sykes holiday!

  • "Excellent value for money."

    Lovely lady owner who was very kind and helpful. Wonderful shower-very powerful and hot. The owner is probably making a loss at the incredible price-the outgoings and general costs of running a business like this will be far greater than the price we were charged for a week's stay-agents fees/house insurances/rates/wifi/fuel bills etc etc. Would return again. Dolgellau is a great little town.

    We had a lovely time staying in this sweet little cottage which had everything we needed.

This permit could also be used in many more car parks so we saved on lots of parking fees.

Comfy curl-ups, warm nights and lots of squirrels to get excited about on our walks.

    There is a super restaurant, 'Y Sospan', a short walk away. The cottage is compact and easy to manage. The cottage owner provided a parking permit which we were able to use at some other locations too (but do check on the sheet provided as some are pay-and-display). The large car park on the entrance road to Dolgellau is pay-and-display, but the residents' parking area is BEHIND that car park (carry on down the narrow road) in front of the town's rugby club. This is a much better the trying to park outside the cottage (and it is only a couple of minutes' walk). We were very pleased with our stay.
