Dolau was one of the best it was clean and comfortable with lots of extra touches, toilet roll, hand soap, washing up bits, tea, coffee etc. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The table and lounge sat everyone something which can be lacking in some properties meaning we canât all sit together. The games room was a hit with everyone from pool tournaments to games of badminton everything was there. Most places to visit are around an hours drive but the host John and his family provided us with lots of info before and during our stay so we could plan days out. There is a local pool 5 mins down the road which the children enjoyed. The house is so peaceful none of us wanted to leave and I am sure we will return in the future. Thankyou John for a lovely week.

The accommodation was cosy yet spacious and very well equipped, the games room was a big hit with everyone in our group of fourteen. We highly recommend this property and would happily return for another stay. Our thanks to John and his family for the warm welcome and additional information sent prior to our stay.
