• "Lovely cottage and had everything we could have needed, only grumbles were that the kitchen tap drips constantly (probably an easy fix but I wouldn't know where to start) and that the outside decking and BBQ area could do with a good clean and tidy up."

  Everything else was spot on and we really enjoyed our stay.

• "We really enjoyed our stay at Bro Dawel."

  Dolgellau is a great location, walks on the doorstep, beautiful scenery, a choice of dog friendly pubs, restaurants and cafes and the Mawddach Trail is good if you enjoy running or cycling. The cottage itself is comfortable and cosy, really comfy bed, nice sofa and brilliant shower. It’s in a good location for stroll into town and we didn’t have any problem with parking, just one afternoon we couldn’t park outside but there are plenty of spaces just up the road if needed. The only suggestions on minor improvements we could make would be the oven has a shelf missing which is a bit tricky if you’re doing a few bits and outside a slight issue as we arrived and didnt appreciate the couple of steps down into the garden area are quite high with gaps between… so our small dog who ran down in excitement stumbled down. But there is a gate there and we kept it closed after that. I’m sure any bigger dogs would be fine, it’s something to just be aware of. A great cottage and lovely holiday, we would be more than happy to stay again.

• "It is extremely misleading to state that there is a free public car park nearby."

  The truth is that there are a few spaces opposite the cottage that are always taken by neighbours. The owner is well aware of the problem and suggests parking illegally on single yellow lines as a solution. We found that not having access to the cottage between the hours of 9am and 6pm prohibitive, so came home early. Other than that, the cottage is nice enough. The sofa is very deep, so not very comfortable. Double bed was comfortable. Shower was good. Kitchen a bit small with very little work top space. A bigger fridge is needed. Garden ok. The surrounding area is beautiful.

  Hi Amanda, many thanks for your feedback. This is the first time in 8 years that we have felt the need to respond to a review, but for the purpose of this excercise we will stay with the facts and not individual opinions. 1. There is free parking directly opposite the cottage as stated in the welcome email, this is purely on a first come first serve basis. This is a small residential town with residents, tourists and cars and provides the same challenges as most similar small towns in the UK. Number of complaints recieved in last 8 years - 0. 2. In the welcome email I made you aware of the restrictions of single yellow line parking, the choice is down to the individual and at your own risk. 3. I fail to see why you did not have access to the cottage between 9am and 6pm. 4. Brand new sofa, number of complaints - 0. 5. Yes the kitchen is quite small, but given that the building is a 200 year old cottage and the walls are over 2 feet thick, we are somewhat limited with our options for a larger kitchen location. 6. Standard fridge with small freezer is provided, number of complaints in the last 8 years - 0. Refer to item No.5. We do our best to provide quality accommodation for our guests and our overall score of 4.8 out of 5 suggests this. Whilst we welcome your opinion a lot of the comments are purely down to individual opinions. The description of the cottage provided by Sykes is extremely accurate and is also provided with photos to support this, so our guests are well aware of what they are booking. Property Owner

• "The cottage is fitted out to a high standard and is very cosy and comfy."

  There is also a nice, quiet garden to sit and relax in. Set in the picturesque village of Dolgellau, it is perfectly situated for exploring that part of Wales with lots of walks and attractions nearby. Whilst the village is only small, it still has lots of bars and restaurants serving a variety of delicious food and drink. The host, Gary, was very helpful and responsive and the welcome pack, containing lots of lovely local produce, was most appreciated. We would have no hesitation in going back and would recommend Bro Dawel to anyone looking to stay in the local area. David, Rachel and Bailey.

  It was beautifully warm when I arrived and is such a well looked after property. There was nothing I wanted for. The garden looks fantastic but it was far too cold to even have a coffee in the decking! I'd say it's a boon outside of winter As I was leaving, I met the owners who were delightful and friendly. There is no doubt I'll be back there soon - there's a lot of exploring to be done in the area.

  Thank you for the welcome gifts, really appreciated as well as starter pack of wood for the log burner. (Although I didn't use it as it's been warm nearly all week). Cosy little cottage, well fitted out and maintained and sparkly clean. All the kitchen items I needed to cook, fantastic shower and great heating to keep you nice and warm. It's really well located right in the centre of Dolgellau and as my visit was in November it was easy to park by the cottage free of charge every day. My only personal issue was the comfort of the bed. Excellent bedding, however you need to be a fan of a soft mattress to enjoy a great nights sleep.

  Very pretty with good neighbours and friendly people and stunning surrounding area. The garden was comfortable and pretty to sit/eat out in and we really did have a wonderful holiday. I did have to do a spot of cleaning when we arrived as the cupboards/fridge in the kitchen were not up to scratch. The bathrooms also needed a quick wipe down but all in all it was clean and tidy. My daughter and I found the mattresses on the uncomfortable side however my husband and son were fine - possibly a little of The Princess and the Pea going on. All in all we had a great time. Thank you

  Dear Danielle, I am surprised to hear that there was some discontentment with your stay at Bro Dawel cottage, due to the cleanliness of the cupboards and fridge not being up to scratch. We do give all guests our telephone number should there be any issues and would have willingly rectified any cleanliness issues had you called. However we did not get any such call! We pride our selves on keeping a clean & tidy house and would have happily and quickly dealt with any request for further cleaning. Regards the mattresses, thank you for your feedback, it is personal taste as to the type of mattress people like and we cannot please some of the people all of the time.

• "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.

• "Really enjoyed a relaxing week."

  Cottage is modern pity that the garden is a little overgrown but as the weather was not that warm we only sat out one afternoon. Dolgellau is a great base with many pubs and restaurants that are dog friendly and friendly locals.

• "A great rental."

  Well furnished and equipped. Comfortable bed,great shower great Tv. Only2/3 minuteswalk to the centre of Dolgellau so don’t really need a car. Parking is very tight but we survived with no problem during our 4 night break. Nice little patio at the rear of the cottage with table and chairs just right for a glass of wine in the evening. I would rent again.

  Great walks and cycle routes from the door. We parked the car outside the cottage and had no real need to move it. Had some wonderful meals in the town. Had a relaxing few days and would definitely recommend.

  Dolgellau is a lovely little town that is full of charm and the people there are extremely friendly. Everything is within walking distance, including groceries and a number of eating/coffee establishments, some of which are also dog friendly. We will definitely be going back and highly recommend Bro Dawel.

• "The cottage provided a really lovely, comfortable base for our holiday."

  The log burner was a fantastic feature and there was plenty of wood supplied. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The hosts provided ample information both before and during our stay. Dolgellau was a great location with cosy pubs and restaurants, the tapas was a great recomendation. The only way this lovely cottage could be improved is by adding a mini welcome pack with tea, coffee and sugar to get your holiday started. We would love to stay again.

• "Very comfortable cottage in a good location for the town centre."

  Excellent condition and very clean - felt like home from home. Parking could be an issue in busy times but we found a space opposite cottage every day so not an issue for us. Garden could do with a tidy up but apart from that a lovely cottage.

  A great location for getting out and about and Dolgellau has many lovely places to eat and drink. All in all, even though we travelled on possibly the wettest weekend of the year, we had a really relaxing break and a great time. Will definitely book again!
