Lovely property and surrounds. Room clean, warm and comfortable. We chose to stay at this B and B out of several properties at the same price as it included breakfast ( confirmed in our booking email as advertised) On arrival there was a laminated note left in the room advising breakfast was not being served currently. There was however a voucher for £5 for a local cafe which wouldn’t even cover the cost of 2 coffees. If we’d have known in advance that breakfast was not included we would have booked elsewhere. Disappointing as it really was a lovely location

Property was very good. We were told on Expedia that free breakfast was included. We were offered one £5:00 voucher for a local cafe. Which we rejected. Very disappointed.

Lovely property and staff but it’s a good 1/2 hour walk to the town which is fine but it’s along A roads and B roads with no pavements. If you had children or a pram it would be really unsafe. No food or drink available at the guest house itself. Other than it’s a good place to stay.

What a BEAUTIFUL location with a stunning view of the mountains. Close to both the Torrent and Precipice Hiking paths!! (incredible) Close to the friendly, fun town of Dogellau with some great places to eat and shop. Close to the Mach Loop which was amazing to see the fighter jets go over!! Our family LOVED staying here. We so hope to visit again, if able, in the future. 5 stars in our book!!!

Originally booked for just 1 night but booked for 1 more as enjoyed the room that much (would have even booked for 3 more nights but no availability). Fairly large room with hob, microwave, sink, and fridge.

Beautiful
Lovely area with fantastic rooms. Had to change a room from a twin to a double when we arrived. The lady there was so bubbly and helpful coupled with being very attractive make the request easier. Would stay again as such a change from hotels

A little disappointing
Lovely setting with a nice clean room but was disappointing not to see anyone to welcome us or to check all ok, breakfast was listed as additional when booking but found out that no breakfasts currently served, from arriving to leaving we spoke to no one making the stay a little disappointing, pillows not great also, such a shame as with a little bit of effort the stay could have been excellent.

Comfortable and good breakfast
A tidy guest house with reasonable spec. Very clean. One thing to note is that it is said to be 'pet friendly' on hotels.com but in fact this is only partially the case. Some rooms are in the house and dogs are not allowed in these - so best to check first. We would stay again - it is handy for Dolgellau and Barmoth.
Statue of dolphins at nearby Barmouth harbour.
Interesting boat at the harbour at low tide. Barmouth has great beaches.

Beautiful property in idyllic location. Excellent room service and breakfast provided by friendly and obliging staff. Family room no. 8 provided excellent value with separate bedroom and living area with kitchen. Accessed by staircase but similar family room (no. 5) available on ground floor if stairs present difficulty. We shall definitely book here again when visiting Dolgellau area.

Didn’t seem like a 4 star guesthouse
I know this Hotel guesthouse has many great reviews, but we didn‘t feel like it was an 4 star guesthouse. The good things first. Everything was clean and the location is quite and beautiful. The shower was more powerful than imagined it to be for an old cottage. The not so good was that we hardly slept as the mattress was just too soft for us and every little move you made woke up your partner. Breakfast wasn’t very tasty, with cheap tasting sausages. You would of expected better quality sausages in a place that has 4 stars. One day the big tea pod had only one teabag in it, which made the tea taste week. Staff didn’t bother to ask if everything was OK. Eggs were undercooked. Muffins that were available, not sure how old they were but they tasted stale on our first day, and they remained on display for another 3 days. We used our towels more than once. Hang them up, but when we needed new towels we threw them on the floor as instructed by a sign, but they never got changed. It was too late in the day to do anything about it. Maybe our expectations were just too high for a 4 star establishment.
