Arnant is a well-received holiday cottage in Dolgellau, praised for its cleanliness, modern furnishings, and convenient location. Guests appreciate the cosy atmosphere, well-stocked kitchen, and thoughtful touches like a welcome cake. While some guests mention issues with bed comfort and neighbour noise, the majority report a pleasant stay with easy access to local attractions.
The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as spotless and tidy. However, one mention of finding dirty underwear slightly impacts the score.
The location is frequently described as ideal, with easy access to local shops, pubs, and attractions. The proximity to a main road and occasional parking difficulties are noted, but do not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While the heating and garden are appreciated, several guests report issues with creaky and uncomfortable beds, which affects the score. The presence of noisy neighbours also impacts the comfort level for some guests.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and extra amenities like bike storage. However, some guests experienced issues with broken beds, heating control, and a lack of instructions for appliances, which lowers the score.
Guests often mention thoughtful gestures such as welcome packs and cakes, contributing to a positive experience. It is noted that such gifts enhance the stay, though they may vary and are not guaranteed for every guest.

This was one of our priorities when booking the holiday let. Parking at the front was not always available due to other cars being parked there. Parking at the back was not available due to other residents parking. It compromised some of our holiday plans . Also there were noisy dogs at the adjacent premises, day and night. Apart from that the property was comfortable, and Dolgellau offered some attractions.

Only slight problem was parking, two days we could not park back or front near the house and had to park way up the street, Deborah the owner had mentioned this before we went. Very convenient place to stay for visiting lots of lovely places, loved Dolgellau village for eating out.

The garden is not fully secure for dogs sadly but pup loved it on the lead anyway. Very nicely decorated inside, clean and fairly comfy. Had to contact the host while there and they were super helpful and friendly. The location is really special with some great walks nearby and beautiful views of cader idris from the window, which I climbed while there. Had no issues parking right outside the front of the house the week I stayed. I read reviews about noisy neighbours and I concur, sadly they are very very noisy, so I had to sleep in the childâs bedroom at the front of the house in single bed as I couldnât sleep in the main room due to noise. Still, I probably would stay here again as the area and house is so lovely and Iâd recommend to others, just bring earplugs ;)
