Guests consistently mention the comfort of the cottage, highlighting the quality bedding, spacious rooms, and cosy sitting areas. The presence of a garden and the peaceful environment contribute to the overall comfort.
The facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the garden furniture. Some guests suggest minor improvements, such as new frying pans and attention to potholes on the driveway. A few maintenance issues like a leaky roof and loose fittings are mentioned.
Guests frequently express gratitude for the thoughtful touches, including welcome packs and treats for both humans and pets. While these gestures are warmly received, it is politely noted that such extras, while delightful, are not guaranteed with every stay.
About this property
Dolgellau 5.9 miles. Set amidst the wonderful landscape of the Snowdonia National Park, boasting breath-taking views of Cadair Idris and within striking distance of the coast, is the traditional cottage of Dwynant. This charming holiday home has been designed to offer a rural escape for family and friends or a base in which to enjoy all of the outdoor adventure that this part of North Wales offers, including both coast and countryside settings. Soak up the views of the secluded valley before venturing into the agrarian-style kitchen, where a traditional AGA takes centre stage before all of the essentials you could possibly need for a self-catered stay, including a conventional electric oven and hob, a dishwasher, a fridge/freezer and microwave, as well as a spacious dining area to seat all of your loved ones. After an action-packed day, relax into your evening within the home-away-home sitting room, where you can curl up on the plush seating arrangement with an oil-fired log-effect stove filling the room with a gentle warmth during those winter evenings. Younger guests of the group will be delighted by the additional snug that this holiday accommodation plays host to, where they can tune into the TV or play some board games brought from home. As the evening draws to a close, make your way up the staircase where three well-presented bedrooms await you.

Lots of books, board games & dvds provided. Two lounge rooms with tv's. Lovely big kitchen with everything provided, except an air fryer. Beautiful views & gardens. Garden seating & fire pit/ barbecue. There was a lovely friendly farm cat who explored the surroundings. Wish we'd booked for a longer stay.
