This characterful self catering holiday Wales is in the heart of Dolgellau, in Snowdonia National Park, North Wales. The cottage is on a quiet street in town, and close to the many places to eat, drink and shop in historic Dolgellau. There's good wifi and a small car parking space. The little stone cottage sleeps 3 in 2 bedrooms. It has been stylishly refurbished with a sparkling new bathroom and kitchen. Located in a peaceful and unspoilt area of Snowdonia National Park, making this Snowdonia holiday cottage convenient, comfortable town base for couples, friends or a small family. If you need to work while you're away there is a table and good wifi. The Victorian cottage is cosy and compact with colourful vintage touches, period features and modern kitchen and bathroom. Walk in through a small room with a dining table and chairs. Make yourself at home in a comfortable arm chair and plan your days out with the local maps provided. If you’re not popping into town to eat out, the large digital TV means you can relax after a day exploring and log into your Netflix or the i-Player. You are welcome to bring your dog on holiday with you but as there is no outdoor enclosed space you will just need to pop your shoes on to take doggie a short walk to local woods and river paths. Please note there is a narrow flight of 11 steepish steps between the bedrooms and downstairs bathroom. For this reason we do not recommend the cottage for families with toddlers or those who find stairs a challenge.

The Cottage in Dolgellau is managed by John and Sarah from Graig Wen holiday accommodation and owned by John’s Dad Peter, a retired art and craft teacher. You’ll see some of the attractive ceramics Peter made on the colourful Welsh dresser and around the house. John and Sarah have been hosting guests at their glamping and camping site nearby on the Mawddach Estuary since 2007. We are delighted to be able to offer guests the chance to stay in our lovely local town of Dolgellau in this little gem of a cottage.
