What our customers say about their holidays

  The furnishings and furniture throughout the cottage are all of a high standard and definitely not cheap flat-packed furniture.

  The kitchen looks brand new and comes with a dishwasher, which gives confidence that the cutlery and plates etc. used by previous tenants, will be clean. The cottage has clearly had a lot of money spent on it and that is shown in features such as the central heating system. The bathroom has a fantastic digital shower (walk-in) with rain and handheld shower options. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms with good quality bedding and furniture. The towels provided were soft and ‘bath’ sized. Again, something simple such as the softness of the towels is reflective of the attention to detail, that the owners: Gary and Lisa, provide. In the master bedroom is an en suite toilet and sink. I’ve not used the log-burner, in the lounge, yet, but I will. The location in Dolgellau is perfect with a very short walk to local pubs and restaurants for eating. We eat at The Ship Inn a couple of times – their Sunday roast was superb and very good value. The cottage has lots of brochures and guides on the local area. One of them contains 20 walks around Dolgellau – we did walk no. 15 today. Outside the cottage is a large decking area with stone BBQ. Not really the weather to properly use it in late October, but in Summer, it would be a great area to sit out and enjoy a summer evening. I love the size of the cottage. It’s in a narrow street with lots of other similar stone and slate cottages. Absolutely gorgeous. A perfect and relaxing break. I would absolutely book Bro Dawel again.

  We really enjoyed our stay at Bro Dawel.

  Dolgellau is a great location, walks on the doorstep, beautiful scenery, a choice of dog friendly pubs, restaurants and cafes and the Mawddach Trail is good if you enjoy running or cycling. The cottage itself is comfortable and cosy, really comfy bed, nice sofa and brilliant shower. It’s in a good location for stroll into town and we didn’t have any problem with parking, just one afternoon we couldn’t park outside but there are plenty of spaces just up the road if needed. The only suggestions on minor improvements we could make would be the oven has a shelf missing which is a bit tricky if you’re doing a few bits and outside a slight issue as we arrived and didnt appreciate the couple of steps down into the garden area are quite high with gaps between… so our small dog who ran down in excitement stumbled down. But there is a gate there and we kept it closed after that. I’m sure any bigger dogs would be fine, it’s something to just be aware of. A great cottage and lovely holiday, we would be more than happy to stay again.

  The cottage was ideal for us.

  It was homely and spotlessly clean. Beds very comfortable and kitchen well equipped. As I am wheelchair bound the accessibility was imperative. It was easy for my son to wheel me over the threshold both at the front and the back into lovely big garden. Loved watching the birds on the feeder including a beautiful wood pecker! Thank you Sarah for patience when we were very late arriving and Gavin for coming out to direct us to property. Enjoyed chatting to Gavin. Loved the way he was very apologetic about weather! How else would the area be so beautifully green? Loved the wood burner with free wood etc. for lighting. We always love a wood burner! It was perfect really in every respect and felt we would have been able to approach owners had there been any problem. We will book again - hopefully soon. Thank you again to Sarah and Gavin for warm welcome to North Wales which is so beautiful. My advice is not to miss Portmeirion as it is only half an hour away. It is positively astounding.

  Really enjoyed my stay at Bro Dawel.

  Thank you for the welcome gifts, really appreciated as well as starter pack of wood for the log burner. (Although I didn't use it as it's been warm nearly all week). Cosy little cottage, well fitted out and maintained and sparkly clean. All the kitchen items I needed to cook, fantastic shower and great heating to keep you nice and warm. It's really well located right in the centre of Dolgellau and as my visit was in November it was easy to park by the cottage free of charge every day. My only personal issue was the comfort of the bed. Excellent bedding, however you need to be a fan of a soft mattress to enjoy a great nights sleep.

  We had a great time at Bro Dawel.

  The house is equipped with everything you could possibly think of. It was lovely and warm when we arrived which was nice after a long drive. Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The bed is one of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in! The enclosed garden is perfect for the dogs too. Plenty to do right on your doorstep or in a good location to drive a bit further afield. Lots of dog friendly days out and cafes/pubs nearby too which is a bonus. We’ve never been to Wales before, the house and the area are beautiful and we are already looking forward to hopefully returning next year! Thankyou for a lovely weekend.
