The best B&B in town! Alisair and Pat are excellent hosts who make you very welcome and make sure you have everything you want. They both make a fantastic cooked breakfast which included fresh eggs from their chickens. We stayed in room 6 and slept very well indeed. The room was very clean and well equipped and we would definately... More

On a business trip,which turned into a pleasure trip,I was made most welcome at Dolawel by Pat and Alister.The accomodation couldn't be better,quiet,comfortable,spotlessly clean and the hosts most helpfull in every aspect.The breakfast is delicious,and will keep you going all day.A packed lunch is available,if required,for those who wish to hike around the nearby mountains,and there's plenty of those.The two...

We spent five days with Alistair and Pat along with Denver and Kellen and their chickens. It was like visiting with Aunt Martha who wants you to have a pleasant time but doesn't want to intrude. The company was great, the facilities quite excellent and the location was superb for seeing northern Wales including Snowdonia. Like Aunt Martha, they were... More

We had 3 nights here in 2010 and found the accomodation, food, and hospitality to be of the highest standard. Alister and Pat (and the dogs) made us most welcome. This year we also had 3 nights there, but were able to compare Dolawel to "the Premier Hotel" in another town, and Dolawel won hands down. Alister and Pat are... More

This is a great place to use as a base - the town isn't the greatest for facilites but is well connected by bus and train (including historical routes) - we had a car and on our day off travelled to see waterfalls, castles and beaches. The owners could not have done more to be friendly and welcoming providing good... More

Dolawel is warm and friendly place to stay while in Blaenau Ffestiong; Pat and Alister Harvron run the guest house and make you feel quite at home and spoil you with their hearty breakfast. Nice and comfortable rooms with ample space for parking, superbly clean and complementary tea or coffee in room. Highly recommend More

The accommodation was neat, clean and very tidy with excellent facilities! The hospitality was very friendly and warm and the owners had extensive knowledge of the surrounding areas, especially the mountains and gave us some great advice. The breakfast was also fantastic. We'd fully recommend anyone to stay here if you're planning on visiting the area, it's suitable for all... More

Had a two night stay with Pat and Alister as part of a short walking trip in Snowdonia. Four senior males trying to keep our knees from seizing up. A lovely large house on outskirts of Blaenau Ffestiniog. Rooms were good size, very clean and comfortably furnished - more importantly we were made most welcome by Pat & Alister. Excellent... More

I travelled to Snowdonia to climb Mt Snowdon, and experience the stunning scenery. Dolawel Guest House is superbly situated in a wonderful location, which provides excellent flexibility for both mountaineers and casual walkers. The rooms were homely, very clean, and had excellent en-suite facilities. Pat and Alister were a wonderful couple. They were very respectful and friendly throughout my stay.... More
