What guests are saying
This property is unique in its amazing location and the sympathetic way in which it has been developed within such a spectacular setting- including the very special garden area.
I was able to leave my car safely parked for the entire week while I walked every day from the house through countless trails in all directions. Dol itself is a 45 minute charming level walk along the Mawdach Trail. Of course you can drive but you do not have to. You also have the George a few minutes down the private woodland lane. Special thanks to Ryan, the owner, for all the support he provided which was never intrusive. A perfect mountain retreat. I would love to return already!
Y Bwthyn is a perfect little hideaway for 2.
The outside space is peaceful and lovely. The cottage has a lovely bedroom and en suite and the living area is cosy but we'll played out. Having read reviews that say the sofa isn't very comfortable I can confirm this and quite small when youre both sat on it. Its fine fir one of you to stretch out, we planned ahead and took.onw of our comfortable garden chairs so we had a nice comfy seat to use as well. We would stay again, this area of Snowdonia is exceptionally pretty.
Form over function, looked impressive on the photos but the reality is very different.
2 of the 3 shower room spotlight were dim so at first, because of the dark tiling and poor light, we didn’t realise how filthy the shower walls were! The sink had no plug which the owner said he’d removed because someone flooded the room, the sink was useless as a wash basin it was a small cloakroom hand basin. The spiral stairs were too narrow (were both slim) to safely carry stuff up and down. The bed was ok but against the window wall and higher than the window cill. The window opened inwards so, in the event of fire, if you couldn’t get down the spiral stairs you’d had to remove the mattress first so you could open the window to get out (you’d probably need to throw the mattress out for something to land on! Very smart hand made kitchen cupboards, nicely finished but dirty inside, especially the higher shelves. Inadequate utensils for proper self catering. If you used the wood burner, as we had to, it’s impossible not to fill the bedroom with smoke and fumes. Someone who ate out all of the time wouldn’t be bothered, assuming the cleanliness and safety issues were corrected, so to them this might seem a bit picky.
