Dolwen

We had a lovely week at Dolwyn Cottage.

It is our second time there and already thinking about another holiday. It was clean warm and well equipped. Owner always on hand if needed anything which was great. Some nice walks from the front door and amazing views from the back. Local shop very handy and weekend pub opened with friendly staff. See you soon

We had to change our booking due to illness and Denise couldn’t have been more accommodating.

We loved the little village and will definitely be back

What a lovely little cottage.

We loved our stay and will certainly be considering staying there again. The rooms were lovely and clean and comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for our stay.

Great property in a lovely location

Lovely little cottage in the heart of a traditional Welsh village.

Ideally placed for walking, exploring the local beauty spots and for travelling further afield. The pub is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and the village shop is open until 8pm each day. It is a quiet location, sheep and birds contribute to the ambiance of the experience. There is an elevated rear garden where there is a table and chairs and barbeque, and it's a real suntrap from early in the morning. The views from the back of the house are lovely, so the little sun room on the back of the house is a real bonus. We bought our dog and he was perfectly safe in the garden. We did have a few issues with the recycling and garden maintenance but the thoughtful owner Denise, will have sorted this I am sure. We can thoroughly recommend.

We had a great time at Dolwen.

Denise was very helpful and easy to contact. The property is very cosy, with a well equipped kitchen. Penmachno makes a great base for exploring the area. There is a stunning drive to Criccieth. We visited Bodnant Gardens, went on a little train at Llanberis, strolled through Conway and enjoyed walks straight from the house.

We were disappointed with the amount of cigarette butts in the plant pot outside the backdoor.

We contacted the owner direct about this and was told that this issue was addressed with the cleaners. We did think someone might have come during our stay to resolve this but no. The cottage is very nice and overall we enjoyed it. We did put a contribution in the church car park. Would we go back - no it just wasnt for us and we would want a little bit more attention to detail

We loved it, the cottage was lovely, the log burner a real treat and the facilities were excellent.

We had a lovely restful stay in the cottage, it has everything we needed.

The garden was enclosed for the two dogs which was paramount for me. Logs in the shed for the log burner and a bottle of fizz for us in the kitchen. Very clean and tidy. Local parking available for a small donation nightly. Would recommend and we’ll be back!

Loved the cottage.

It was like home from home. The scenery was beautiful. Easy access to everything we needed. Would highly recommend this beautiful cottage.

Cozy cottage, with good facilities in quiet location on the slate trail.

We would recommend!

Was a nice comfy cottage .

ideal spot for exploring lots of parts of wales .got no issues to report .thank you for the welcome message

We had a wonderful stay in this cosy, well equipped and brilliantly situated cottage with walks nearby and well located for Betws-y-coed.

The owner was exceedingly helpful and kind and I would definitely stay there again. Great access to Snowdonia's attractions but in a peaceful village. The fact the shop is a few doors away is also very handy!

Sykes you were not responsive when l contacted you about the booking.

In the end after 2 hours l eventually found the information myself.

Had a great stay at Dolwen.

The cottage had everything you may have needed. It was perfect for us in terms of location for what we needed & has beautiful views. The little village is lovely and quiet, if you’re after something a little more lively as in bars/restaurants, 10 min drive to the next village and you’ve got more going on.

Fabulous stay, very warm and comfortable.

All the little extra home comforts left by the owner were very appreciated. Excellent location to access all local tourist spots. Overall very good value for money and would definitely book this property again!

Lovely cottage.

Unfortunately, I found the bed in the front room very uncomfortable. The idea of a good night’s sleep is important at my tender age of 77. Snowdonia is unbelievably awesome. If we did return it would have to be a bigger place to stay.

Beautiful cottage, very cosy and lovely wood burner

An absolutely gorgeous cottage with a superb hostess who has provided everything and more for her guests.

Thank you for a brilliant short break.

Both Sam and I stayed at Your beautiful Dolwen cottage,Penmachno, North Wales,28th October/03rd November 2023.

Situated in a quiet,idyllic village surrounded by countryside views, grazing cattle on the hillside. This is the perfect holiday to retreat to, to recharge our batteries. This is a stunning hidden gem, fabulously stocked up with everything you could possibly need. Including a village church, pub and corner shop, there is nothing else you would possibly need. Definitely a home from home. Denise is a perfect host, being on hand to answer any queries if need be. Will definitely be returning!!

Lovely place to stay, great location, nice relaxing holiday

We had a fabulous stay, lovely attention to detail for dogs was much appreciated.

The cottage is small but comfortable and cosy, we had everything we needed in the cottage, with a shop at the end of the road and a pub (didn’t visit the pub), a little table at the end of the garden - we sat in the sunshine with a drink & game of cards with our kids each evening surrounded by sheep & lovely views. Zip World is brilliant if you have kids and Conwy Falls was a great little find! Good weather helped but there is so much to do in this beautiful area we ran out of time, the walks & views were breathtaking & we will hopefully be back to visit places we didn't get to go to!

We just loved staying at your beautiful holiday home.

Hope to come back some time. Kitchen is great, well equipped. Great shower.

Had a wonderful stay, perfectly placed for exploring the region

a cosy, peaceful cottage in an idyllic spot for visiting the sights of Snowdonia the views of the hills around us, made our stay.

Fantastic stay in Dolwen.

The host was so thoughtful, all the little things mean so much . Kitchen had everything you need , home from home comforts ! It was sad to leave x

We had a wonderful honeymoon at Dolwen!

The cottage was even more beautiful than the description online and there were amazing views of the lambs outside our bedroom window. Denise had really thought of everything - the kitchen had everything you could possibly want, she updated us about local news, and provided so much information about local attractions and places to eat! There isn't car parking at the property, but the village car park is super close, you just have to move your car on a Sunday for chapel. We just wish we could stay there forever!

We had a very comfortable stay.

The cottage was warm and clean and had everything that we needed. The welcome note and gifts were a lovely touch.

Really nice cottage with everything as described.

The location is amazing. Also, a pub and local shop just a few steps away.

Lovely little cottage, with all you need.

Great view from the dog friendly garden of hills with nice patio to enjoy. Small pub and shops few yards away in village. Lots of local walks from the village or as a base for short drive to all the key hiking routes. Being centrally based it’s an ideal location. Kitchen and accommodation had everything you needed for home cooking. Perfect!
