Very enjoyable weekend break in beautiful countryside.

Pros: Lovely room and breakfast very good. Definitely worth another visit here. Perfect location for great walks and Mawddach trail.

Friendly and comfortable. Good food.

Pros: friendly and helpful staff, comfy bed, spacious room. Loved that they give you fresh cold milk in a thermos each night for your tea / cofffe in the morning.

Cons: Car park is very small ... we never managed to get in it. But there's a large public car park not far away which didn't charge overnight. Just a short walk with luggage.

Dolgallau winter stay

Pros: Lovely food, great breakfast. super comfortable bed. Great location right in the middle of town. Very quiet at night. Easy check in and parking which is at a premium in Dolgallau Very friendly and accommodating staff We had a lovely time, we'll be back.

Cons: I wasn't sure about the small flask of milk that was handed to us at check in? For tea in the morning i assume, but i didn't trust it to stay healthy from 3pm until the next morning so I didn't use it. Also our hot water plumbing was a little noisy, i hope we didn't wake anyone 😬

Lovely hotel
