Bro Dawel, Dolgellau

I’m currently staying at Bro Dawel for a long weekend at the end of October; and what a fantastic cottage it is! Check in time was after 16:00. When my wife and I got to the Bro Dawel, we opened the front door to a toasty warm and very welcoming cottage. I’m currently sat in the lounge on a Sunday afternoon, writing my review, on a comfy corner sofa. The furnishings and furniture throughout the cottage are all of a high standard and definitely not cheap flat-packed furniture. The kitchen looks brand new and comes with a dishwasher, which gives confidence that the cutlery and plates etc. used by previous tenants, will be clean. The cottage has clearly had a lot of money spent on it and that is shown in features such as the central heating system. The bathroom has a fantastic digital shower (walk-in) with rain and handheld shower options. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms with good quality bedding and furniture. The towels provided were soft and ‘bath’ sized. Again, something simple such as the softness of the towels is reflective of the attention to detail, that the owners: Gary and Lisa, provide. In the master bedroom is an en suite toilet and sink. I’ve not used the log-burner, in the lounge, yet, but I will. The location in Dolgellau is perfect with a very short walk to local pubs and restaurants for eating. We eat at The Ship Inn a couple of times – their Sunday roast was superb and very good value. The cottage has lots of brochures and guides on the local area. One of them contains 20 walks around Dolgellau – we did walk no. 15 today. Outside the cottage is a large decking area with stone BBQ. Not really the weather to properly use it in late October, but in Summer, it would be a great area to sit out and enjoy a summer evening. I love the size of the cottage. It’s in a narrow street with lots of other similar stone and slate cottages. Absolutely gorgeous. A perfect and relaxing break. I would absolutely book Bro Dawel again.

Bro Dawel is a fantastic cottage, ideal for a couple or family. We stayed for a week with our border collie and the cottage was so clean, cosy, a good size and really well equipped. We loved the location - perfect for town and for local walks and attractions. The cottage worked really well for us and we really liked the little touches like the incredibly comfy bed, huge fluffy towels, all matching crockery and Emma Bridgewater bedding. The owner Gary emailed us a few weeks before with some recommendations which were perfect and was able to suggest somewhere special for our anniversary dinner. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and will be recommending to friends and family.

We recently stayed in the beautifully decorated Bro Dawel. We absolutely loved staying there. It was so clean and tidy and had everything you could possibly need. Great location for all local towns, beaches and walks. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to return soon.

Fantastic cottage, beautifully done with everything you will need. The most comfortable mattresses and the shower, well it's amazing. The town of Dolgellau is just a stroll with plenty of places to eat and drink. Great walks from the doorstep and a short drive to the coast. This cottage really does have everything for us, we have hugely enjoyed our stay.
