... a short walk down into Dolgellau and beautiful views of the mountains at the front, and a field of cows at the back due to the upside down accommodation. Easy to park, especially if you back into the drive each time you return, very well equipped kitchen and living areas, comfy beds and a nice shower. Access to a lovely little garden if the weather is nice and a friendly owner next door if you have any problems. A great place to stay.
