Great for absolute peace and quiet. The views, all 360 degrees are stunning.The cottage is beautiful, but….. needs a little TLC. It needs a deep clean, new room furniture and a shower where you don’t bang your head on a beam. I would also suggest that the garden would benefit from new outdoor furniture with a few sun beds. When sunny, you have it all day sun.Our dogs loved the freedom of a large garden which is fully surrounded by fences, making this perfect for safety.Dolgellau, pronounced Dolgethi, has plenty of shops, including a large Spar for groceries and the chippy does a rather nice take out.Overall, if you want peace. This is the perfect location.
