“A clean and well provisioned house.”

Stunning views and the upside-down layout works very well for this house giving a nice airy feel to the main living space. Thank you for a great stay.

Stunning views and the upside-down layout works very well for this house giving a nice airy feel to the main living space. Thank you for a great stay. The only minor quibble is it would be nice to have WiFi capability, but I still coped OK just using mobile data for looking up weather, maps, etc.

“While the cottage itself was comfortable,it was not dog friendly,the garden was very small and not suitable for pets to be let out,access was poor,and there were no gates to keep them enclosed.”
Mrs Williams August 2019

“The cottage is in a fabulous position, easy to walk into the village and fabulous views”
Dr Hawthorne July 2019

“Cottage makes a great base and has everything you could possibly need.”

It lacks WiFi, but you can use the dining room at the BnB next door if you're desperate. The owners clearly listen to feedback, as there are now garden chairs to use (as mentioned in an earlier review). I don't really have any practical suggestions for improvement - would certainly stay here again.

“This cottage was very comfortable to stay in and the view is wonderful.”
Mr Lloyd June 2018

“Lovely house with amazing views Dawn was a great host with fantastic communication.”

I would highly recommend staying here.
Mrs Wiltshire May 2018

“Very clean inside amazing views.”

Downside was garden area accessible by very steep steps with rickety hand rail nit suitable for children elderly or disabled and difficult if you had undisciplined dogs as no security to area and it is only accessible by walking out of front door and walking round the back and up the steps not great in the dark. However my dog is well behaved and we were out all day views from cottage amazing and so for us it was a great holiday.

“Lovely place to stay: comfortable, well equipped, great location and nice views”

This is a wonderful place to stay in the Dolgellau area. It's conveniently located just outside the main Dolgellau town (although uphill on the way back), so it's in easy walking distance but there's no need to drive through the narrow streets of the town and there's somewhere to park. There are some great walks (e.g. New Precipice Walk) which can be done straight from the cottage, and others only a short drive away (e.g. Cadaer Idris). Within the cottage, the upstairs open-place living space has large windows to give great views of the town and mountain out front, and sheep and chickens at the rear! The kitchen was very well equipped, the beds comfortable for tired walkers, and it was spotlessly clean throughout. Also dog friendly!

“Fantastic views”

A very pleasant, clean and well equipped holiday cottage. A perfect base for exploring the many coastal towns and attractions. Only a short walk into town for shopping, cycle hire and restaurants. A peaceful location with wonderful views, ample car parking, and easy to find from owners/sykes directions. Would certainly hire this cottage again.

“Ideal location for hill walking in the arrans and Cadair Idris”

Basically, it was as advertised. It was comfortable, spacious, well-equipped and clean. It was well located for hill walking, the town and supermarkets etc. There were spectacular autumn colours in the valleys throughout the area. Would certainly use it again if we ever go back to that area.

“A wonderful week of recharging the old batteries”

The cottage is located in a great location for exploring the Snowdonian Park and the coast line, it is well provided to cater for all needs and has wonderful views from the first floor lounge/ diner. The overall experience of this holiday was first class and the cottage comes highly recommended from this party.
