Nestled in the incredible Snowdonia National Park, this historic cottage is quirky, full of character, and has excellent mountain views. With a unique spiral staircase and a wonderful cottage garden to capture the imagination, Dolwar Cottage is a fantastic hidden gem from which to explore North Wales.
On the ground floor, there is a welcoming living room, with sofas and armchair to sink into and the television perched in the decorative range - still in situ from when the room was the original kitchen! With views from the back of the house out across the garden and to the mountains beyond, this is a great space to relax after your day of adventures.
On a lower ground floor level, the kitchen-dining room is equally characterful, with the dining space having a door out to the garden at the rear, dining table to seat four, and two additional stools at the breakfast bar if needed. The kitchen is very well equipped having a washing machine, dishwasher, gas hob, electric oven, fridge and freezer.
Upstairs, the bedrooms, one king size and one double, both enjoy beautiful far reaching views and have original fireplaces intact which make lovely decorative features. Continuing up to the top of the spiral staircase, there is a further room up on the second floor with skylight views, and lots of games and puzzles. The bathroom is also up on this floor, with a stunning corner bath and traditional handheld shower, fantastic for relaxing in peace and winding down.
The garden, nicely secluded with mature greenery, has two separate patio areas, the largest having dining table and chairs, and a smaller one at the end of the garden with bistro table and chairs, great for sitting out and enjoying balmy evenings.
Locally, there is a staggering amount to choose from when planning what to see and do. Llan Ffestiniog is a bustling village with local convenience store, historic church and friendly pub Y Pengwern. The larger town of Blaenau Ffestiniog is within easy reach, with it's popular railway, and the Llechwedd Slate Caverns and Zipworld only a short distance away.
Whether you love hiking, mountain biking and outdoor activities, or exploring the stunning coastline there is sure to be something for everyone. Mount Snowdon, or Yr Wyddfa to use it's proper Welsh name, is less than 20miles distant and the surrounding area offers plenty of walking routes and beautiful lakes amongst the mountains just waiting to be discovered.
Criccieth Beach, Harlech Beach and Black Rock Sands are all roughly 30 minutes away, and with Anglesey just the other side of the mountain, you'll be spoilt for choice.
Please note there is a travel cot and highchair available to use on request, please mention when booking.

A lovely stay in quirky accommodation.
The cottage was cosy and warm, clean and well equipped. Nice decor and decorated for Xmas (we stayed over New Year). Great location for hill walking. The spiral staircase was impressive but worth noting it goes from the basement through all 4 levels of the house - if you aren't great with stairsyou bring dogs which aren't then it's something to consider. Our dogs did find them a little tricky to navigate down to the kitchen where access is to the garden. Overall we really liked this home!

Lovely property in quiet village.
Lovely views from the rear of the property. You definitely need a car to get to places and the local pub isn’t much to be desired unfortunately. However, local people were friendly and the property was very comfortable and warm. We would definitely stay again if we were returning to the area.

Lovely quirky little cottage
Location was good
The garden definitely needs landscaping, it was unusable as so overgrown & such a shame as the views would be beautiful from the windows

This cottage is Wales has been one of the most amazing trips I’ve ever been on.
This cottage is Wales has been one of the most amazing trips I’ve ever been on. The pictures don’t do the location justice! Definitely for a cosy couple getaway. Host is really communicative and lovely. Within decent range of shops and pubs, and of course we had to climb Mount Snowdon (a 45 min drive away) A magical holiday and I can’t wait to go back

Wet well equipped cottage
Excellent cottage, very comfortable, warm and welcoming.
Very well equipped kitchen, great views and ideal for exploring.
If you are 6ft + like 2 in our party, get used to brushing your head on low ceilings and staircase on the lower ground floor.

Ideal for a carefree holiday
The accommodation has everything you need for a comfortable stay. You feel welcome upon arrival. The location is great for excursions and there are also beautiful walks from the cottage.
Unfortunately, there is no real shower in the house, you will have to make do with a bath. All the doorposts are a bit low, you have to get used to having to duck.

A little cottage
The cottage was well furnished with comfy seating and beds.
The garden was overgrown and so we couldn't sit out on the warm evenings.
There was a slight smell of damp coming up from the basement kitchen. This was noticeable after the cottage was shut up for the day.

Perfect
Great little gem, hidden away yet in a perfect spot. Lovely welcome pack and little details which added to the experience. The space is deceptively big and loved the separation. Beds were excellent and the kitchen well equipped. Lots to love and will come back.
The lack of a traditional shower was not a major issue but we felt the amount of water to fill a bath due to large size of the tub seemed a waste of water (from a sustainable viewpoint)

Stayed in this cottage for a week over Christmas’24.
Stayed in this cottage for a week over Christmas’24. Was a last minute booking but after eventually finding the place in the dark we were greeted with Xmas decorations (lit up!), Welsh tea cakes, Prosecco … and a charming cottage. Very clean and well presented with more than enough space for the two of us and our small dog. Awoke to find in the foothills of Snowdonia- Llan Ffestiniog is quiet village and a great base to explore Snowdonia which is what we used it for. The accommodation was great - clean, comfortable and very warm! It would have been 11/10 if it had had a real fire. There is no stand up shower but a fairly large corner bath on the 3rd floor with shower attachment. Kitchen is very well kitted out with all mod cons and a slate floor and granite worktop. No extractor fan but it didn’t seem to get too many fumes from cooking. Gas cooker was great! For what we paid we thought this was amazing accommodation and would have no hesitation in recommending to others. Thanks 🙏🏻

Absolutely loved how cozy the cottage is, and all the facilities available were a nice bonus too 😀 Such a warm and relaxing family home to stay on for 9 Nights! The bed was comfortable and the sofa too! I also loved how there were cats wandering the area and were greeted by the next door neighbour's cats in the window which was lovely Absolutely loved the staircase feature aswell so fitting for such a warm and cozy home 🏡

Everything except the lilliputuan proportions
Everything except the lilliputuan proportions. If you're above 5ཆ'' you'll need to watch yourself. Kitchen is really nicely furnished, nice tough having both milk and oat 'milk' in the fridge on arrival. Really liked the old fireplaces, comfortable couches. Beds are a bit short if like me you're quite tall, but I wasn't scared that a monster was going to steal my dangling off the edge feet, they were however extremely comfortable and i slept incredibly well.. And the views were absolutely astonishing. .
The bathroom wasn't ideal for me. Low sloping ceiling and my proclivity for banging my head made this room less than ideal. But if you're a normal person who's aware of their own size, I don't think it'd be too much of a problem.
