1) Excellent accommodation. 2) Excellent location, 3 Good weather. 4) Dog friendly accommodation & beaches. Doldeg had all of these during our stay, with excellent weather. Plenty of Dog friendly sandy beaches close by with good swimming not far away. Criccieth, Pwllheli, Abersoch and Porthmadog are all worth a visit. So we would be very happy to return to Doldeg.

Good living space and excellent WiFi. However, the ensuite has a power shower but the cubicle door should be sliding and not hinged as the room is very small. The bathroom cabinet is strategically placed above a microscopic wash basin so that you crack your head if tooth cleaning etc. The extractor fan did not work so the room smelled musty as the shower was completely enclosed.. There is a shortage of crockery so the dishwasher has to be used more frequently than should be necessary.
