Nice hotel in a town that shuts down too early.

Nice hotel, and the most popular venue in Dolgellau. Ensure you arrange your evening meal before 8pm, as everything stops serving early (out of season), including the hotel. Was extremely disappointing to be left with just a kebab shop at 8:20pm, with absolutely no alternatives. Town has some nice eateries, but everything shuts early and it feels like a ghost town by 9pm.

Beautiful little hotel in the middle of town. Easy walking to local shops. Rustic, but in a great way. Feels like what a family owned hotel should feel like, and super easy check In/Out.

Stayed for a long weekend with my little daughter as a treat and will definitely be back! Staff were ever so helpful andwent out of their way. The room and food were lovely. Parking in the central car park is just down the road, very convenient.

Great room and lovely staff. We managed to get a space in the carpark so the car was safe. We ate in the pub and the food was good, easy food. If you are a light sleeper, maybe ask for a room away from the church as the bells ring every 15 minutes. Although I am told sometimes they stop at 11pm, but you can’t guarantee.

A good hotel that could easily be excellent, with slightly better attention to detail.
