This B@B is located in the centre of town. It is the only hotel/B@B in Dolgellau that has secure private parking on site. The interior is very tastefully decorated without losing the atmospherics of what is a very old property. The rooms too are well equipped with showers, TV, tea and coffee making facilities but above all immaculately clean and tidy. Kevin and Caroline are the ultimate in B@B owners who put the needs of their customers at the forefront. You will be well looked after in Aber Cottage.

Stayed for 1 night. Lovely bright, clean room and en suite.. Right on the road going into Dolgellau. Perfect location for us. I would suggest ask for a back room if you're a light sleeper. Breakfast was lovely. I'm not keen on pre ordering the night before but I understand why the proprietor have decided to do it.

What a wonderful stay. From tea and welsh cakes upon arrival then a superb room as a family of four our children could have a bed each. Breakfast was fresh and plenty. This is a lovely place to stay with wonderful hosts who could not have done more. Everything spotless in a gorgeous building. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay in which we have no hesitation to stay again.
