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.
