We received a warm welcome and enjoyed our stay at the Don. The view from our room was fantastic and the owners could not have made us more welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. The owners gave us a lot of local info as to where to eat etc. Unfortunately... More

We spent one night at the Don bed and breakfast. We were made to feel most welcome. Not only did our hostess recommend a restaurant for dinner, but also called ahead to inform them we were going (in that part of Wales places usually close very early!). Our double room with ensuite was extremely clean, quiet and comfortable and had... More

I stayed at The Don on the recommendation of a business colleague and, I have to say, was surprised to find this little gem. The landlady was a very friendly, courteous host and had some useful tips on where to go and what to see locally. The building itself was very nice and the views of the surrounding Snowdonia were...

The Don guest house surpassed my expectations. A large en-suite room with great views, very clean hroughout. A great nights sleep followed by a hearty breakfast cooked to perfection. There's nothing better to set you up for a day's mountain biking. The landlady was very helpful and friendly. I have already booked my next stay at the end of August... More

We and our dog really enjoyed our stay at the Don, and have decided to return next summer, in the hope that the weather will be better and we can actually climb Snowdon! We were made to feel very welcome, and my daughter's fussy eating habits were no problem to the landlady. The room was of a good size, clean... More

A great stay at The Don. I go to Ffestiniog once in a while and would certainly stay there again. Charming family to stay with. I think we kept the landlady up a little late though :-)

Cannot praise The Don highly enough. For walkers in the Snowdonia National Park, this would be my first choice of accommodation. The hospitality was exceptional, the views are superb. For the price, the quality of accommodation is tremendous and there is street parking close by. It's a short drive to Betws-y-Coed and Mount Snowdon. I checked in to compete in... More

This place was very comfortable, we took our 2 dogs Jake and Serafina (which can stay in the room) and places for them was no problem. Caroline (The Land Lady was most helpful ( she was originally from Essex! ) bhe was very knowledgeable about the area and a few times recommended to us places to go. The place was... More

Lovely place, Stunning views, clean, warm and comfortable. Pack lunch was good. And evening meal (although limited choice) was home cooked and yummy. Great friendly place - will come again. Close to all attractions and Owner full of advice as to where to go and what to see - very helpful.
