This guest house is situated right in the middle of Snowdonia National Park, it's the perfect location to go on a castle tour of North Wales and also see Porthmadog and Port Merion. I would definitely stay here again, as the proprietors were very friendly and helpful!

You will be warmly welcomed by Pat and Alister at this spotlessly clean, charming and comfortable guest house. Excellent breakfast and invaluable advice on visits and walking in the mountains. We hope to stay there again. Jenny H

Although we had never stayed before at the Dolawel Guest House, Alister and Pat greeted us on arrival with considerable warmth, and we were much impressed by their friendliness and helpfulness. As others have reported in their uniformly good reviews, the accommodation was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The excellent cooked breakfasts were generous and satisfying, and were accompanied by cereals,... More

I've just returned from a 2 night stay. As usual Pat and Alister were very charming. Room was very clean and light. The breakfast was superb... a hearty cooked breakfast, cereal, toast and tea. As a mountain climber, I often seek Alister's advice. His experience of the mountains, and of the local area has always proven invaluable to me. Pat... More

With family living nearby we chose this guest house for location and didn't read the reviews until now. We have just returned following a 7 night stay and we all agree with everything that has been said - The house is spotlessly clean, we stayed in the family room which was spacious and very well equipped, there is also Wifi...

We spent five days with Alistair and Pat along with Denver and Kellen and their chickens. It was like visiting with Aunt Martha who wants you to have a pleasant time but doesn't want to intrude. The company was great, the facilities quite excellent and the location was superb for seeing northern Wales including Snowdonia. Like Aunt Martha, they were... More
