Breakfast: Toaster provided with butter, marmalade, jam, etc. Fresh fruit, cereals, tea, coffee, orange juice. Cooked breakfast of your choice would be provided upon request which is plentiful and delicious. Chris and Louise are very friendly, welcoming hosts and clearly go the extra mile to ensure you enjoy your stay. Our room was nicely decorated, clean and well presented with lovely views from the window. The ensuite bathroom had a lovely large walk in shower (pressure problems asside) with a modern suite. The bed was extremely comfortable. The lovely, well kept gardens are extensive and are filled with established trees, flowering shrubs and is a haven for birds. It offers plenty of places to dine elfresco or just sit, relax and enjoy the wonderfull surrounding views over the town to the mountains in the distance. The property is characterful and of typical traditional style of the area located up a hill a few minutes walk from the town centre which has plenty of eating establishments to choose from. The immediate roads leading to the property are narrow as is the driveway up to the house and navigating them can be a little challenging, but you soon get used to it. Do not let that put you off, as Bryn Mair is a wondeful place to stay in every sense of the word. Thank you Chris and Louise for making our stay so enjoyable.

Our only minor issue is that the ensuite shower had pressure problems during our stay. Chris the owner was very concerned and arranged for repair. It did not impact our stay or bother us unnecessarily.

My original plan was to use the Bryn mair as a base to drive an hour or more further north for hiking trails closer to mount Snowden and a castle. But the town was so charming with a good selection of moderate hiking trails with scenic views there was no need to drive further. Between the Stag inn, Torrent walk hotel and the Royal Ship hotel there were good choices for food an cask ale.

The narrow streets with the one way routing was too challenging for this American driver, but honestly the public car park, free from 1630 - 10:00 was an easy alternative.i had no difficulty walking the one km up to the Bryn mair. So if I had known about that option ahead of time I would not have been put off with the walk, since I travel with a backpack.

Breakfasts were very good with excellent personal service from Chris. Coffee bags in the room were a nice touch. Parking was very convenient once access was achieved! I loved hearing about the life and community of Dolgellau

Location - vehicular access was traumatic. Nothing that can be done about it though. Steep lanes were too difficult for Liz, who has mobility issues. Room was initially cold but soon warmed up with radiator. There's a structural issue of course - windows are not double glazed due to planning restrictions. Is secondary glazing possible?

This is a beautiful property which is thoughtfully run by lovely, friendly people. The room we had really was exceptional. It was super comfortable with everything that you could possibly need and with the bonus of a stunning view of Dolgellau. Can't fault the hosts, the facilities or the property. Breakfast was fresh and delicious and you really did feel 'at home' there. Easy walking distance to the centre of town as well. Would love to stay again if we are in the area.

It is a little difficult to get to, especially in a big car or van. Dolgellau is a very old town with the traditional windy, narrow streets and lanes so great care should be taken following the owners directions and not just blindly following the satnav. Totally worth the little extra effort though!

The B&B is beautifully positioned on a hillside overlooking the town of Dolgellau and mountains beyond. The view from my room was nothing short of spectacular! Friendly, attentive hosts. I loved all the attention to detail in the rooms / furnishings - you can tell the hosts have put a lot of thought and consideration into creating a beautiful, relaxing space for their guests.

The place was a bit hard to find initially - I found it was best to follow the sat nav but take the turning after Love Lane. Probably not the easiest road to navigate if you don’t have a small car (thankfully I do!)

Very enjoyable stay at a lovely property in a quiet residential area above Dolgellau just a short walk from the centre. Chris and Louise gave us a very warm welcome and the thoughtfully appointed room was delightful, as was the beautiful garden with views over the town. A very good breakfast was provided with a range of options and the homemade Shakshuka is recommended. We were only passing through the area but would happily come back for a longer stay.

Nothing at all - as other guests have mentioned access is via narrow roads but clear directions were provided so not a problem.

Absolutely gorgeous place with a nice view and parking just in-front of the building. The room was lovely and bed was very comfortable. There were also a few choices for breakfast, which was also good. Chris and Louise are absolutely lovely hosts. They made us feel very welcome and comfortable and were very attentive. Furthermore, very responsive on messages on here before and during our stay, and even after we had left( had a pressing question about the maple syrup that was served at breakfast) Chris promptly answered my question as well. I truly believe that you would be hard pressed to find a better place to stay.

Nothing to do with the booking itself, however the road to the location is a little tricky to find and rather narrow at certain parts, so make sure to follow the directions from Chris, otherwise you might struggle.

The location is great with superb views over the local town and some stunning gardens. However, getting to the location was a little difficult but Chris, our host, sent us detailed instructions with, believe or not, accompanying photographs which was a terrific help. He also welcomed us to his house and showed where everything was. Our room was very spacious, comfortable and clean. Breakfast was just what we wanted with lashings of toast, butter and jam. We were offered a cooked breakfast but my wife and I declined the offer. The house is only a few minutes walk to the local town square with a good choice of bars and restaurants. We took advantage of ‘Chippy Tuesday’ (Reduced price fish and chips) in the Royal Ship Hotel for our evening meal which was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bryn Mair and would not hesitate to stay again.

Difficult to get to without Chris's very helpful directions with accompanying photographs.

Excellent location with onsite parking. Short walk downhill into the town if your mobile. Very friendly and helpful owners. The room was a good size with large ensuite bathroom. Breakfast was yummy. Good choice for food and drink in town also.

If we're being really picky, we think the self serve part of breakfast would be better in the same room rather than in the hall. A bit more choice of the fried breakfast would be good, but what we had was an adequate portion and good quality. Just our opinion but not a complaint. Would thoroughly recommend Bryn Mair 🙂

A very friendly welcome, from Chris the owner. The house is beautiful and overlooks the town of Dolgellau. The room was cosy, the bed was probably one of the best I've slept on. The breakfast was freshly cooked and a good size, in a very nice dining area. Chris, who served breakfast was again very attentive and very friendly. I'd certainly recommend it to family and friends.

My only negative critique is that the roads leading up to the house are very narrow. But that's not the fault of the owners, if you have a big car just be wary.
