“Thoroughly enjoyed our week in Fro Awel.”

A beautifully renovated period cottage with everything you would need. Location is ideal with all amenities within walking distance. We would love to visit again in the Summer to enjoy the beautiful garden with the river running past. Diolch yn fawr

“This cottage was a change for us, we normally look for one in the middle of nowhere as my husband likes peace and quiet.”

I thought it might be nice for a change to be near shops pubs cafes etc but we were a bit disappointed when we first saw this lovely old stone cottage, right next door to an ugly 1960’s style sorting office. However it wasn’t too bad, bit of noise in the morning from all the vans and posties trolleys but otherwise quite quiet for a town centre property, and it was a lovely comfortable well equipped cottage with lots to do nearby ( if you like walking) and plenty of places to eat in the evening with a nice easy walk home afterwards

“Only general stuff like lubing door locks & hinges, plumbing taps need a bit of tightening you know, probably annual maintenance.”

Otherwise we had everything we needed plus useful supplies when we first arrived and very helpful owners. Kitchen was particularly very well facilitated. Location was superb, eveything within a few minutes walking distance. And on site parking!

“Really nice place with the added bonus of off road parking.”

“A gorgeous cottage with many original features including a magnificent fireplace with log burner.”

There is a small patio with good quality furniture at the bottom of the garden where you can drink your coffee and listen to the river. It's so relaxing. Very comfortable with everything you need for a family self catering including a good quality and well stocked kitchen. The shower is also lovely with really good water pressure and the heating is very efficient so the cottage gets really toasty throughout. Dolgellau is the perfect central base for a family break. There are walks directly from the cottage (turn left and head up the hill) but also amazing walks a 5 minute or so drive away 'Precipice Walk'. We cycled the flat Mawddach Trail into Barmouth, which was just under 10 miles each way and spent a lovely afternoon on the beach. (If you are a runner come and get your half marathon PB along the Mawddach Trail!). We also drove to Bala (about 25 minutes) and kayaked on the lake. Pubs were closed the week we went so can't recommend any good eating places but the fish and chips just across the road were pretty good. We definitely hope to visit again.

“Beautiful cottage close to the town centre, but lovely and quiet.”

Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Good facilities - shower, heating and log fire. The river flowing behind the garden gave it a lovely touch. Will definitely be coming back!

“Fabulous cottage in a lovely little town with everything right on the doorstep and places to visit nearby.”

there are parking spaces for two cars. . spotlessly clean and extremely comfy, upstairs in the main room there is a large comfy bed.There was only the two of us so we didn't use the other two rooms the lounge is beautiful with log burner,tv,dvd etc. very relaxing. made good use of the outside seating area as we were blessed with fabulous weather all week.it was lovely to sit and chill out listening to the river which runs right along the bottom. this is well fenced off so safe if you have children. kitchen was well equipped. Bathroom had good hot shower and deep bath. The only issue we had was that there was no way of ventilation upstairs in any room so it was were extremly hot and stuffy at night making it difficult to sleep. Th owner is aware of this and is looking at resolving the problem. apart from that everything was fine and if that issuie was resolved we would definitelty return

“We enjoyed our stay at Fro Awel.”

The house is spacious and well equipped. It is peaceful but close to the centre of the town. The garden is attractive and it is pleasant to sit by the river that runs by the end of the garden. The out-building is good for storing bicycles. Dolgellau is a fantastic base for exploring the area.
