Dolgellau hotellia

Plussat: The staff were so incredibly attentive and welcoming. Sophie and Marilyn run the B&B with a level of personalised service above that of a 5-star hotel, with the warmth of a family home. Parking is very close to the entrance door. The room was warm on arrival but we had access to our own thermostat which my partner was grateful for as he likes it to be cool. Fresh milk and filtered water were provided in the mini fridge and a comprehensive selection of locally sourced tea and (real!) coffee. The bed was gloriously spacious and comfortable! The feather duvet, mattress topper and squashy pillows felt like sleeping in a cloud. I was worried I'd be uncomfortable without my pregnancy pillow but there were ample pillows provided. I mentioned in passing I have a dairy intolerance and the next morning at breakfast I was provided with almond milk, and a little bottle of it appeared in the mini fridge too! The breakfasts are wonderful, great quality food and no expense spared. Would recommend the waffles. The saltwater fish tank is a masterpiece, and when we visited we were shown the tiny starfish babies that had just hatched, sticking to the side of the tank. The view from our room was gorgeous, and walking through the gardens you can catch a beautiful sunset over Barmouth from the old boat house. The TV has an on demand film service with every film you can think of for free, no adverts. The wifi is strong and we had no trouble connecting. The shower in the bathroom is a real treat, the bathroom had underfloor heating and was very well designed. There's some really exciting furniture and artwork dotted around the place, a really unique style. We chose the hotel for its proximity to Cadiar Idris, our favourite mountain climb. It's a perfect distance and a perfect place to relax after a long hike. My partner proposed to me during our stay, and Sophie and Marilyn even got us some flowers! Their kindness was the icing on the cake of a perfect weekend.

Plussat: We have stayed at many similar style of accommodation but this property is a cut above the rest, a real find.

Plussat: The house and hospitality...and thee breakfast!!

Miinukset: It was a little cold in the room.

Plussat: Excellent hosts with helpful and informed suggestions of things to do and see. We paid extra for breakfasts (the cottage is self catering and, of course as such, doesn’t come with breakfast included. The breakfasts were good and plentiful with lots of options.

Plussat: The warm welcome and small touches such as fresh milk and local Welsh Cakes in the room. The hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and recommended some good walks. Great house with bags of charm and history, facilities were excellent, great bath to enjoy after a hard walk on the mountain!

Plussat: Lovely, spacious room with a comfy double bed; quiet location and friendly dogs.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: V cosy and warming. Really good facilities for cooking. Amazing views!

Plussat: We had a very warm welcome on arrival and were shown to our family room. The room was large and clean and beds very comfortable. Breakfast was made to order and was excellent. We will be back!

Plussat: This is a fantastic place to stay Jackie and Graham work hard to keep standards high and are welcomeing and friendly.

Miinukset: The twin bedroom is very small, it could be described as cramped. We expected a smaller room, but not quite as small as this. Unfortunately the mattresses on the twin beds were uncomfortable. Comfort upgrade needed to compensate for lack of space. Maybe suitable for children.

Plussat: Clean, comfortable room, delicious breakfast, kind host, lovely puppies, wonderful view from the garden

Plussat: The breakfast was good. The lounge was tastefully decorated. Our bed was comfy and the shower was efficient. Biscuits with facilities to make cup of tea in room. Lots of info about the old railway which was interesting.

Miinukset: The rooms could have been warmer. We used heater in bedroom but lounge wasn’t warm enough to relax in. No comfy chairs in room. We didn’t get good view from our room- not of Penmaenpool.

Plussat: Excellent breakfasts and local advice

Plussat: Breakfast was delicious in fact if the bacon had been any thicker it would have matched a gammon steak. Bacon just the way I like it. Great presentation and very timely as we had a tight schedule.

Miinukset: Light in the bedroom could have been brighter.

Plussat: Very nice breakfast with options like laverbread

Miinukset: The only thing I did not like was the bathroom floor was cold

Plussat: Excellent all round with very good food and a comfortable bed.

Miinukset: Could hear talking in neighbouring rooms quite easily.

Plussat: Everything except as stated below

Miinukset: Quirky shower controls difficult to understand how to operate. Later found explanation in Brochure! Still found pointless the quirky styling and operation. Plenty of simple power showers available. Towel radiator did not work and had a leaking valve. Stains on floor from leak. Instructions on Bathroom heating not applicable - no switch outside bathroom etc. Thermostat outside did not bring heating on.

Plussat: Friendly welcome - loved the fresh biscuits! Room was spacious and clean. Our evening meal and breakfast were delicious and cooked fresh to order.

Miinukset: Our only negative was the bed frame! The shape and size resulted in us banging our shins on several occasions!!! Be careful!

Plussat: I am at a loss for words to describe the excellence that was Cross Foxes. It is an outstanding hotel with exquisite chefs, overtly friendly staff, centrally-located to both North and South Wales, and an overall amazing hotel.

Plussat: We had supper, which was very good, and breakfast also, although service was a little slow. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Miinukset: Having to carry a heavy suitcase up a flight of stairs to the entrance, then up two flights of stairs to get to our room, was difficult. The room was lovely and the bed very comfy. However, the beautiful modern bed had a timber frame with a shelf all round which stuck out at shin level. it was difficult to avoid when walking round the bed and we now have several bruises as a result. Particularly difficult (and painful) when half asleep in the dark! Every thing else was lovely.

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: Great place to stay, the staff were so friendly and welcoming, they made you feel right at home from the moment you arrived. Our room was very clean, and had everything we needed. We ate in the restaurant, and the food was delightful. Definitely a 10/10 place to stay.

Plussat: The dinner was fantastic. Beautiful setting. Communal areas were all beautiful and comfortable.

Miinukset: Breakfast was quite limited in choice and portion size and very overpriced for what it was The bedroom was a bit dated, particularly the bathroom. Returning to the hotel on our wedding night, we had been left with no toilet roll and no staff available!

Plussat: breakfast was superb - lots of choice.

Plussat: Friendly helpful staff. Good food and beer.

Plussat: Suihkussa riitti lämmin vesi, sekä paine. Wc toimi moitteettomasti. Ravintola erittäin hyvä ja palvelu erinomainen. Huone ok, ei remontin tarvetta. Aamupala todella hyvä ja riittävä. Suosittelen.

Plussat: Welcoming staff. We had hot welshcakes and tea on arrival which was a lovely touch. Great recommendation for a close by restaurant the evening we arrived and the restaurant delivered! Cosy and clean room.

Miinukset: Poached eggs were hard. Sockets were too far from mirror, therefore I was unable to dry and style my hair in front of a mirror. Next doors guests were heard during their evening activities aswell, though nothing could be done on your part about that...I guess it was their romantic night away

Plussat: Warm and comfortable, friendly staff and service.

Miinukset: Quality of the breakfast ingredients a bit lacking

Plussat: Absolutely fabulous perfect location

Miinukset: Light bulbs out in bathroom, literally that was the only fault and don’t really call it a fault x

Miinukset: It was rather cold weather whilst we were there. Should have asked for heating to be put on earlier. When we did they onliged

Plussat: Excellent full Welsh breakfast provided, accompanied by such a range of modern Welsh music that you could have been in Cerys Matthws' front room. Location was idyllic, on the side of a secluded lake in a tranquil valley under Cader Idris. Decor was tasteful and done with great sensitivity and a lot of heart. Bar when we we arrived was cheerful and welcoming, servingvery fine Baty Bach draft beer form the Wye Valley. Dogs were made welcome.

Miinukset: Nothing,

Plussat: The food was exceptional every night & Maggie & Dai made us very welcome

Plussat: Everything, arrived and found a small piece of paradise. Location is beautiful and perfect for walking, room and facilities were faultless, food was superb, the beer even better served in the smallest but best bar I've had the luck to be in. Maggie & Dai and their amazing small team of helpers were superb and could not make you feel more welcome in a friendly and relaxed environment. Don't hesitate book into the Gwernan, I'll definitely be back as soon as I can. 10/10.

Plussat: Dog friendly ,staff very friendly and helpful place very clean warm and homely

Miinukset: Food on menu soon sold out so this could of been better

Plussat: This is a magnificent location and after a very expensive revamp it is a fantastic setup. Very comfortable rooms with good facilities. Robyn and Lucy, the duty managers were very good and saved the day.

Miinukset: The inexperienced staff and the food/kitchen were poor. The general manager and chef need to take responsibility here, as there is no excuse in a country like the UK, to run out of many items on the dinner and breakfast menu and to have staff that have not been trained properly in even the basics of running front of house. Poor knowledge of menu availability. Was offered one drink by waitress the whole evening, even though, our empty glasses were standing around. Wrong drinks delivered to table, low levels of customer service in restaurant overall. We were not the only clients on the night to be very unhappy.

Plussat: Location , stunning view

Miinukset: Room small but cosy

Plussat: The views from the room cregennan were amazing. Great breakfast in the morning with amazing selection of food. Beautiful area.
