  From the minute we arrived at Dolly we were enchanted.

  The weather was not good all week however we were there to relax. Dolly had everything required to acheive this. The woodburner made the van warm and cosy and the inital supply of logs was most welcome we had also brought our own. Books and games are supplied too. The kitchen is well equipped and on arrival it was a nice surprise to find a complementary fine selection of local goodies and treats for our bedlington terrier Barney. The bed was so comfortable and the linen sheets and duvet cover were delightful. The bathroom is in a seperate building a few steps outside but dont let that put you off, it was warm, clean, and modern . On days when it is dry there is a private sitting out area and a ring to tether hounds to as this is a farming area. The owners were welcoming and responsive. Dolly is set down a quite county lane with ample parking available. A half mile walk along the main road will find you at a local pub which brews beer and makes excellent pizza. Just a 3 mile stride to the coast gives you another pleasant walk, again with a pub to supply refreshments. On the one dry day we went to New Quay, a short drive away and we were rewarded with the sight of dolphins playing just off the harbour, which was a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this accommodation for comfort, location and the effort the owners put in to make guests feel relaxed and welcome. Helen , Alwyn and Barney Bedlington

  We originally intended to stay elsewhere and thank our lucky stars that that didn't work out!

  Because it wouldn't have held a candle to our glorious time at The Old Stables. The gracious, charming and witty hostess couldn't help us enough. The accommodation sports a cosy and supremely comfortable bed; the kitchen is well appointed and has everything you need to cook any meal--plus the basic condiments, cutlery and even fresh rosemary and quince jelly. The setting is sublime--peaceful, with only the sound of the nearby river Usk coursing by, an ancient forest, a carpet of copper beech leaves, two affectionate ponies in the pasture. lots of hyperbole here? Only because it's well-deserved. The Old Stables offer anything a body could want for a wonderful restorative break. Looking forward to a return.

  That was a last minute decision. We spent our Christmas in this pretty cottage.The cottage is well-equiped. Very clearn. We got everything we needed. We cooked out Christmas dinner. The owner is very kind. They put up the Christmas decorations and provided seasons hamper. Feeling warmly welcomed. The bathroom is spacious. The shower is so powerful. Lucky us! The location is so easy to everywhere. 5-minute walk to the late, 5-minute walk to the hills, and a couple of minutes to shops, coffee shops and pubs. We had a few walks and drove around the lake and to places. The rural road to Dolgellau is so beautiful. So many walking routes. We will come back when the weather is good.

  Absolutely outstanding!

  Cannot praise the presentation of this quirky venue enough. Yes it is small and given the steps and adjacent (but beautiful ) bathroom you need to be reasonably agile but everything has been thought out perfectly. Have never seen a better prepared guest information folder could serve as example of how to do it for new Sykes owners. Wonderful welcome pack and a delight to see that owners very into recycling. The EV charger onsite was a lovely bonus. Peaceful location but only a couple of miles from nearest beach and beautiful part of Wales. Realistic attitude to dogs with spare blankets and bowls if you have forgotten anything. Loved every minute

  The property was easy to find located very centrally and close to shop and eating facilities. The property was exceptionally clean and everything was to a high standard. Everything you could need was provided as well as a tea coffee sugar and Welsh cakes! The owners Manon and Gareth were very friendly and welcoming. We have stayed in lots of cottages and this one is one of the best. Plenty of places to visit including the lovely Portmeirion Village. Really felt like we were in Italy (apart from the weather).vThank you once again Manon and Gareth for a lovely few days.
