- Great stay, outstanding host/owner. Located in downtown area.
- Parking is on public street, I was able to find a spot in front of hotel, but could see where this could be an issue in the busy summer months.

Bedroom and bathroom facilities were good and bedclothes and towels were top quality. It was within easy reach of pubs and restaurants with live music and friendly people. Dolgellau has a lot to offer for a couple who break their journey. We loved Ivy House and Margaret was most welcoming.

The proprietor Duncan provided a right and proper welcome, helping us get oriented to the locale and answering our questions forthrightly.
Two pet cats added a degree of hominess to the accommodation.
We enjoyed the breakfast which was cooked to order and served by courteous staff.
We thought the room rate was certainly fair and we wouldn't hesitate to book again if we were ever to venture back to Dogellau.

Room 5 is right at the top of the stairs and has a small but adequate ensuite bathroom. It's a good sized double room with a view of the street. The bed was very comfortable and I slept really well.
In the morning I was served an excellent breakfast and went on my way prepared for the day. Thanks to Duncan and the staff.
