Tom’s place is just perfect. We are very grateful to hosts that welcome fur babies and our two mini schnauzers loved every moment. The house is tastefully decorated and extremely welcoming. We enjoyed the welcome treats too, an extra bonus that we didn’t expect. The house is immaculate throughout and very well appointed . We only used one of the three double bedrooms but all were of the same standard. Obviously, access to the most beautiful locations was a given and the added bonus of Dolgellau being so beautiful in itself made access to shops and restaurants a stones throw from the property. Plenty of choice for evening meals and lunches. Thank you Tom, we will be back x
