  • "We had a lovely stay for a week in Penty."

    The house was perfect for our needs, warm, clean, comfortable, and with everything we needed. The view over the town from the front windows was fabulous, and the smart TV with firestick kept us occupied in the autumn evenings. The house has been recently renovated with thermostat controlled central heating and modern fire - it was always cosy. The owner lives next door but does not overlook the property. And a recommendation if you're visiting... T H Roberts tea room in town does fabulous homemade cakes....

    Spotlessly clean and with an extremely well-equipped kitchen. Great views over the valley. Very toasty with the new Gas central heating. Comfy beds.

    Care should be taken when parking as it is off a steep narrow road. It is best to reverse in but do it in 2 maneuvers

    A great location for exploring all of Snowdonia national park whilst also benefiting from the the amazing beach at Barmouth, we would highly recommend.

  • "PENTY cottage was as good as the reviews I had read before our visit."

    It was warm and comfortable regardless of the damp weather most of the week. The property is spacious and very well equipped with everything we needed. It would have been very pleasant to sit outside if the weather had been better as the views from the front were wonderful and from the back fields with cows and sheep. The only downside was that we were hoping to eat out most evenings as it was a short walk into the town but maybe because it was not high season but there was very little choice.

  • "Excellent holiday cottage on the outskirts of Dolgellau."

    On a quiet road with pleasant farmland view behind, and panoramic mountain view from the elevated lounge/kitchen area. Would certainly return if visiting the area in the future

    Thank you for your kind comments Property Owner

    Property is spacious and light, had everything we needed and was clean, fresh and quiet. Great value for money, have already booked to return. We did have to supervise the dogs in the garden as it is not fully enclosed, but we were aware of that before booking.

    The cottage was lovely, warm and well maintained and is in an ideal spot for exploring the area. A cheese grater, pasta bowls and a set of pasta bowls would be a useful addition. Dolgellau is a really nice town. I would highly recommend a stay in this cottage.

    It’s in a quiet location with spectacular views of the mountains all around. There are so many beaches and mountain activities all within east driving distance of the cottage. Our children loved waking up to see the cows in the field right by the back garden every morning. The cottage was extremely clean, and the kitchen was immaculate. We will definitely be returning again soon!

    The cottage had everything we needed and the views from the upstairs windows were amazing. The cottage is only a 10 minute walk from the shops, cafes and pubs which meant there was everything close by for our week away. Would recommend this cottage and will stay again in the future.

    The answer is yes to both. It exceeded expectations, it has everything you need, is reasonably priced and is in an excellent location. I bought my 82 year old mother here for a break and she loved it. Dolgellau is a lovely town with a stunning backdrop with the Cadair Idris mountains. Beautiful beaches at Abermaw (Barmouth) and Aberdyfi on the doorstep. And of course Snowdonia. The owner is there at the B&B next door but completely unobtrusive and respected our privacy but there if you need anything. Wifi was excellent too. All in all highly recommended, a little gem.

    5 ***** standard. The views of the mountains from the upstairs living area are outstanding. The cows and sheep with their young, which was the back garden view, was just beautiful. The cottage itself has everything you need and more. I took everything with me as have stayed at many properties that didn't have eg a tea towel / washing up liquid etc but I brought it all home again as Dawn who manages the property has made sure absolutely everything is catered for. We had a welcome gift when we arrived too which was delicious! I would highly recommend this property and hope to return. Well done Y Penty.

    Stunning views and the upside-down layout works very well for this house giving a nice airy feel to the main living space. Thank you for a great stay. The only minor quibble is it would be nice to have WiFi capability, but I still coped OK just using mobile data for looking up weather, maps, etc.
