Dolgellau Spa Hotel

"Really clean, beautiful setting and friendly staff. The food was good too. The only reason for dropping a star was the pool facilities. They felt a little tired and in need of some proper maintenance. The lockers and changing areas were quite ropey – with outdoor shoes effectively allowed right up to poolside. There’s only one shower in each changing room, and in the ladies there’s just a single private changing space sectioned off with a shower curtain. What impacted our stay most was that the pool is only accessible via an outdoor route. On both visits we had to run back across the car park in wet swimsuits to return to our room to shower and change. It also meant we didn’t make use of the pool after checkout. Checkout was 10:30am but pool access was available until lunchtime, which would have been lovely in theory. However, as a family of four staying one night, the bedroom facilities were so good that we just couldn’t justify showering and getting ready in the gym changing rooms."

"Superb period accomodation. Faultless service. Exceptional food. Fascinating art works in the garden walks. Treat yourself to a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce tour of North Wales"
