Plas Dolguog

This place was perfect from start to finish. The rooms are beautiful, really bespoke and ornate. A lovely balcony to take in the views. Everything was clean and well presented and Dafydd who served us breakfast couldn’t have been nicer. We arrived quite late so the self check in was useful, and easy to follow. Would wholeheartedly recommend Plas Dolguog.

This was a dreadful experience from start to finish. We arrived on a Sunday evening to a deserted hotel, There was no one to greet us, envelopes were left outside for guests to open, with a code to open the main door and a code for a key safety open the room. When we opened the door to our room - which was called 'Puccini' - we were shocked. The duvet on the bed was a crumpled screwed up mess, it hadn't seen an iron and I even wondered if it had been washed. It had obviously been pulled out of the laundry basket and put on the bed, I just prayed it had actually been in the washer. We had two numbers to ring for attention, but neither were answered. As we had travelled for a few hours, we put the kettle on to make a drink, while we continued to ring for the duvet cover to be changed. No one answered and we discovered the two mugs in the room were also dirty, tea and coffee stains in both of them. In view of this I just didn't want to stay in the room, but we had nowhere else to go, we looked around but there didn't seem to be anyone else in the hotel. That also had us feeling insecure, as the location is very remote, yet there are envelopes outside giving any potential intruder the code to the front door. We had no choice but to stay and there was worse to come. We discovered the bathroom was filthy . It was so bad that both of us decided not to use the shower. The fittings are black which made the layer of dust on the radiator and the soap scum on the shower head and taps very visible. The shower tray was filthy, with dirt and hair around the edge and the glass screen was spattered with soap stains. It was all appalling. It was listed as offering a "gourmet breakfast" and while I wasn't keen to eat in such a dirty place, my partner wanted to try it. We seemed to be the only guests but at last we discovered another human, a member of staff appeared in the breakfast room. She took our tea & coffee order and as she left the room I turned my cup over ready, only to find it was even more stained than the mugs in our room ! So was my partner's, I attempted to change them with the cups on neighbouring tables, only to find they were all badly stained. The silver plated cutlery was also black with tarnish. The "gourmet breakfast" consisted of a sausage, a fried egg, two small scraps of bacon, a laverbread cake, some vine tomatoes and mushrooms that were obviously canned sliced mushrooms cooked until they were shrivelled. Thank goodness it was then time to leave !

Excellent stay in this gorgeous guest house. Super friendly welcome by the family there. Amazing views down the Dyfi valley from the lawn and the beautiful garden. The room and bed was super comfortable and plush, excellent shower and everything we needed was provided. The attention to detail and high quality of the decor is amazing - a total pleasure to be there. Excellent breakfast too! Couldn’t fault the place - thank you Plas Dolguog

We had the most wonderful stay at Plas Dolguog. The location and setting are stunning, the rooms are beautifully decorated, the en suites are appointed with quality fittings and L’Occitane products, the breakfast sets a new standard for bed and breakfast, and above all else the people are warm and welcoming. What a treasure!

As a family we attend the Easter event, it was brilliant! Great entertainment and fun for the little ones while the adults enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Also a special thanks for the gluten free option. We look forward to future events and highly recommend.

Very comfortable and inviting bedroom. Cool décor and lovely Breakfast. Staff were very polite and attentive. Countryside was very beautiful with rolling hills. Went on business on the Friday but stayed an extra night to visit Port Merrion.

After a bad experience in Bournemouth, what a relief to find this hotel in the heart of mid wales , with parts of the house dating back to the 1500’s. A fantastic room , with a view over the Welsh countryside, relaxing watching the colour of the hills/ mountains change during the day while sitting on the balcony. The Full Welsh breakfast can only be described as one of the tastiest we have ever eaten, with local produce. Bed large and comfy, room clean and beautifully decorated , bath huge in the Wagner room. Dogs welcome. We will return

There are no comfortable chairs in the rooms

Booked through *********** 29th July (confirmation email on that date) for 1 night booking on 9th Sept for £130. Payment taken 9 days before by hotel when normally a couple of days before arrival date is normal practice. Then 2 days before the booked date, I received a standard email from *********** stating hotel had double booked, no explanation and I would be refunded free of charge!! No message from hotel to apologise even though they had my details, very unprofessional, I had specifically booked way ahead of time as travelling over 70 miles to a wedding, there were no alternatives available within 20 miles all booked up as they had left it so late to inform me. Very very poor way to run a hospitality business!!
