“We loved our time at Dorlan, wonderful cottage excellently presented couldn't have asked for anything better.”

Our teenage children and our dog loved the garden area, and my eldest spent time reading on the lower patio, listening to the river. I grew up in North Wales, so was a great spot to go and see all the areas that i remember and some new ones. I hadn't been to Halen Salt and NewBorough woods, dunes and beach. It was a much needed break for all the whole family. ...

Our teenage children and our dog loved the garden area, and my eldest spent time reading on the lower patio, listening to the river. I grew up in North Wales, so was a great spot to go and see all the areas that i remember and some new ones. I hadn't been to Halen Salt and NewBorough woods, dunes and beach. It was a much needed break for all the whole family. Thank you to both for this perfectly beautiful cottage. Parking was fine and garden dog friendly and no areas for our spaniel to escape through.

“Thank you for a lovely week in Dorlan and for the welcome basket.”

The cottage was lovely and warm and welcoming. Parking difficult but beyond your control. One suggestion would be a washer / drier as it was difficult to dry wet clothes when there were lots of showers.

- Wendy, April 2022

Hi Wendy, Glad you enjoyed your stay & thanks for your suggestion of a washer/dryer, we’ll definitely look into that…hope you didn’t get too wet with the showers! Kind Regards. Catrin & Chris Property Owner

“On the whole the house was in a fine situation great for the activities shame about the weather!”

! if possible a pair of scissors would be helpful in the kitchen. Unfortunatly the shower was quite small and the door didn't close completely thus bathroom ended up very wet.Not sure where it could go but a second toilet would be beneficial but thas a wish from me. Having constant hot water was great. Sheila

- Sheila, October 2021

Thanks Sheila for your feedback, Yes, there should have been a pair of scissors, if missing we shall replace them, Unfortunately, as you said, there is no convenient space for a second toilet, Thanks for bringing the shower to our attention we have plans to refit the bathroom, we hope these issues didn't spoil your stay in Dorlan. Kind Regards Chris & Catrin Property Owner

“Fabulous accommodation, looks like a cottage from the front and town house from the back.”

Loved the stream at the bottom of the garden with the garden table and chairs to sit and relax on. Well equipped kitchen. Very nice welcome pack on arrival and information booklet on the area. Log fire was very relaxing after being outdoors walking. Will definitely return, thank you Sue & Phil from Worcestershire

The property

Resting in an idyllic location, on the fringes of Snowdonia National Park is Dorlan, a cosy mid-terrace cottage found near the village of Deiniolen.

Well-placed for exploring the nearby national park, this property is ideal for a family or group of friends looking for an action-packed North Wales getaway to discover the incredible landscapes on offer.

Park on the roadside at the front of the property and enter this welcoming cottage to discover the immaculate living/dining room, where you can sit back and relax on one of the sofas as the wood burning stove warms the room and adds a cosy ambiance to the space.

The lovely dining table can comfortably seat six, so meals can be enjoyed together as a group.

Venture downstairs to the lower-ground-floor, where you will find the characterful kitchen, packed with appliances and mod cons, as well as traditional features like the rustic stone fireplace that houses the feature AGA cooker.

Head upstairs to the first floor to find a crisp white double and a lovely twin room, both of which are served by the family shower room, where you can prepare for each day with a refreshing rinse.

Resting under the eaves on the second floor is a third bedroom; a spacious double which boasts a neutral theme and offers wonderful views out towards the countryside.

Open the French doors from the kitchen to a patio and garden area which includes outside table and chairs and a BBQ, with a calming river flowing by at the end of the garden.

A soothing walk takes you into the village of Deiniolen, where you will find your nearest shop and pub.

Further afield, there is much to see and do within a short distance; the well-stocked village of Llanberis is just four miles away, for a choice of fine shops and eateries.

The property conveniently sits on the edge of the wondrous Snowdonia National Park, a landscape providing sublime opportunities for walking, climbing, cycling, wildlife spotting and even boasts the fabulous Zip World and Bounce Below.

The fascinating tourist spots of Bangor and Caernarfon are also within a 10-mile journey, boasting magnificent architecture and plenty to do to suit all tastes.

The island of Anglesey with its fabulous beaches and coastal walks is also only a short drive away.

Dorlan is a perfectly placed, characterful cottage for a well-deserved North Wales getaway.
