In towncentre and yet so quiet! Shops bakery and pubs around the corner. Beds are good. Bathroom and dining area are very small. Beautiful walks and hiking trail just outside Dolgellau. There is a washingmachine but no room to let the laundry dry but at the end of the street is a laundry where you can use a dryer for a few pounds. There is no outside place (garden or patio) but for us it wasnât a problem, since we stayed in November. Parking is possible in the street for only 45 min but there is a parking permit provided for the longstay carpark, which is a 5 min walk. Weâre very happy with this permit because it can be used for all public carparks in county Gwynedd. A warm welcome with a Barabrith-cake and fresh milk in the fridge!

Close to the centre of town but on a quiet street, comfy sofas and bed, plenty of space for a single occupant. Works for me as I eat out a lot and only spend the evenings in the cottage watching television. The walk in shower won't be for everyone, and parking on the street outside is tight.
