“Really lovely cottage in a perfect location with good walks from the door and easy access to Betws y Coed for food etc.”

Properly dog friendly, not just tolerant. The garden was ideal for us and them and the owners understand that you can’t necessarily keep dogs downstairs AND off furniture at all times. Definitely hope to return. The only very minor improvements would be to fix the toilet seat and have a blackout curtain in the front bedroom.

Thank you for your feedback, so glad you enjoyed your stay and we do understand that some dogs are really 'humans' so as not to offend them we leave throwovers for their use. We will get someone round to have a look at the toilet seat. There should be a roller blind as well as curtains in both bedrooms but we will check how effective these are in October.

“Beautiful apartment with a lovely private garden.”

Everything was thoughtfully arranged and well looked after, and we really appreciated that pets are welcome. The host even provided bowls for our dog, which was such a lovely and thoughtful touch. We felt so comfortable and at home that we actually gave up an afternoon of exploring just to stay in the apartment, relax in the garden and play pool downstairs! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.

Thank you for your lovely review and recommending Dola. We look forward to having you back sometime soon. Jane & Ray Property Owner
Bridget July 2026

“We had a wonderful week at Dola.”

The cottage was in a perfect situation, quiet area but within walking distance of the shops. The cottage was clean, very comfortable and cosy. It had everything you could need and had been really thoughtfully set up with every comfort. The garden was lovely and ideal for our dogs who enjoyed exploring in safety. The decking is perfect for sitting out, especially with the bi fold doors. We had an amazing week!

- Bridget, July 2026

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how much you enjoyed your week. We look forward to welcoming you back to Dola in the future. Ray & Jane Property Owner
Stewart May 2026

“Nice location, good clean cottage good for a family with a dog.”

Feel I should let the owner know that one of the top steps on the spiral staircase was loose and maybe leave the boiler accessible as a lot of people in Wales like to walk in the mountains whatever the weather and it would of been good to be able to dry our clothes. Other than that it was a lovely stay, so much so that we have booked to return in 6 weeks. Stewart and family

- Stewart, May 2026

Hi Stewart Thank you for your feedback. We will get somebody to have a look at the outside stair case. The thermostat to work the heating is in the lounge so that you can turn the heating on and off as you wish, the boiler is left on at all times. If you struggle to get it working please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our details are in the book. Enjoy your stay in July and thanks again. Regards Ray & Jane Property Owner
Thomas May 2026

“A very pleasant property just 15 minutes walk from the centre.”

Only a few of gripes and both probably aimed towards older people, the stairs are pretty steep and the bathroom is downstairs

- Thomas, May 2026

Thank you for your feedback, these old cottages do have steep stairs,. We hope the hand rail made things a bit easier for you. Hope to see you back in Dola sometime. Kindest regards Ray & Jane Property Owner
Andrew April 2026

“The cottage was lovely and well appointed.”

However it would have been helpful to let us know that building works were going on directly opposite! We came for a peaceful break over the Bank Holiday weekend.. the builders worked most of the holiday with loud music and burning fires throughout the day. Also dog barking everytime we vent into back garden admittedly it was told to be quiet eventually. The property was clean but and I have mentioned this regarding other properties please ask your cleaner to vacuum around the edges especially in the bathroom. Also as this is a pet friendly accommodation I wouid strongly advise investing in a Dyson pet vacuum… bit sad I know but always bring one with us and it filled up in no time with black dog hairs. This is an honest appraisal of our time here. Beautiful area with fantastic walks just 5 mins from door with breathtaking scenery. Thank you

- Andrew, April 2026

Hi there Thank you for your feedback. Apologies for the delay in responding to you. We visited the property after you left on Sunday to check on the points you raised. We have spoken to the cleaner who does use a Dyson but is going to pay more attention to the areas closest to the skirting board in the future. Regarding the building work opposite where the house is being renovated, we have been assured that this is now at the final stages. Up until now, we have not received any complaints over this, possibly due to it being at the front of the house so guests using the kitchen, sunroom and back garden would be unaffected and perhaps because the builders have not been particularly noisy up to now, I am sorry that this was not the case whilst you were there. I am glad that on the whole, you enjoyed the house and the area and hope that one day you will return. Kind regards Jane and Ray Property Owner

Will February 2026

“We had a lovely stay at Dola in February half term.”

A family with 2 children and a dog. The cottage was perfect for what we needed. The location was fab being a 20ish min walk away from the centre of Betwys-y-coed. We also enjoyed several dog walks from the doorstep too. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch to start off our holiday. We would definitely return.

- Will, February 2026

Thanks for your comments, really glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to have you back real soon. Jane & Ray Property Owner

Jane December 2025

“We arrived to find a Christmas tree, decorations and a lovely festive welcome pack for our stay over Christmas.”

We asked our hosts a couple of questions by text and they immediately helped us become familiar with the things we weren't sure about. A perfect Christmas break in a beautiful cottage - thank you.

Paul November 2025

“Excellent property & location.”

Close enough to walk into Betws coed in 10 minutes but far enough out to be quiet. Very dog friendly with a nice enclosed garden.

David September 2025

“Well located cottage in Betws-y-Coed, easy walk into the village, river walks close by and good road access to LLandudno etc.”

The accommodation is excellent, if you have dogs there are wooden and tile floors which is perfect. More should be mentioned of the cellar games room, great pool table and table football, plus lovely and warm. The cottage is well decorated and has everything you require for your stay.

- David, September 2025

Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed our cottage and the beautiful area. Hope to have you back again very soon. Ray & Jane Property Owner
Maria August 2025

“Beautiful little house, perfect for our needs.”

We’re a couple, and think the house may have been a little cramp for four. The garden is lovely and well maintained. We enjoyed beautiful country walks right from the doorstep. There are lovely pubs, restaurants and craft shops only a 15 minute walk away. We will definitely be back!

- Maria, August 2025

Thank you for your review. We look forward to having you back to Dola in the near future. Ray & Jane Property Owner

About the location

BETWS-Y-COED

Llanrwst 4 miles; Blaenau Ffestiniog 11 miles.

Betws-y-Coed, known as the Gateway to Snowdonia, is North Wales' most popular inland resort. Surrounded by dense woodland and magnificent mountain country, this is a haven for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. At Betws-y-Coed the River Conwy meets its three tributaries flowing from the west, and the beauty of the area is enhanced by cascading waterfalls, river pools and ancient bridges. Most famous of all are the magnificent Swallow Falls, situated where the Llugwy River hurls itself into a spectacular chasm. The village has shops, pubs, places to eat, miniature railway, a riverside golf course and the Tree Top Adventure High Ropes Course, and is home to The Snowdonia National Park Visitor Centre, as well as being the start of the beautiful Conwy Valley which leads to the coast and the lovely towns of Llandudno and Conwy.
