Ivy House B&B

The Ivy House was a wonderful place to stay! We randomly stopped in Dolgellau on our way to Conwy and found the Ivy House right when we entered town. We didn't have a pre-booked reservation, but luckily there was a room available for the night. Duncan and the entire staff were welcoming, funny and extremely knowledgeable about the town and surrounding areas. We really loved their insight on the places to see and where to go around Wales. Our room was lovely, clean and tidy. The bathroom was fully modernized and the shower was amazing after a long day on the road as well! Breakfast is the morning was also lovely!

It is a while since I have stayed in a guest house and it felt somewhat different to a hotel. I was greeted at the door and taken to my room however there was no offer to help with my bags up the narrow steep stairs. The room was well appointed if a little old fashioned, and comfortable. I wasn't too keen on the owner coming in the room with me though he had to later to look at the radiator. I was informed on arrival of breakfast time and also that I had to leave by 10.15 'at the latest' The room was a little chilly but a heater was brought up quickly. There was no blind on the bathroom window and I had no idea where it looked out so this felt a bit awkward. The cleanliness was great and the bed very comfortable. The location was in the town but quiet which was a bonus. Not easy to find a parking spot. Breakfast was served by a young lady, it arrived promptly and was good. I was pleased to see a 5 star hygiene rating. Overall a good experience I would say however I personally am not keen on the rather claustrophobic feel of a guest house as you are staying in the owner's home and it felt like it. It is a good spot for the town centre and for walking or various activities nearby. I was simply meeting friends a 3 minute walk away.

Great host who offered semi secure, out of eyesight parking for our bikes. Breakfast was good and filling. The waiting woman Jean was a treasure. She was real first class, very attentive and proactive Room was a bit cramped with the dogs but manageable. Clean and tidy. Down side was the noise from the road/street at nigh or early morning….. Not the guest houses fault though.

Great B&B clean nice rooms comfortable bed hot fresh breakfast shower was clean and worked great good location enjoyed a stroll around Dolgellau town kitchen staff were pleasant helpful I would definitely recommend and I would stay there again

Liked everything about it. Staff were very friendly and helpfull,breakfast was very good and the room was comfortable . Very nice town centre location and parking nearby in the main town car park(free between 4.30pm and 10am)

Very welcoming host and everything for a very enjoyable stay. Would recommend for anybody staying in this beautiful area. Was even offered a bacon butty to takeaway as i was out too early for breakfast each day, great service!

Great B & B. Excellent stay with a breakfast fit for a king. There is no parking but this was not a problem as there were a few parks nearby

Duncan was a superb host, room comfy, local pubs and restaurants aplenty, fabulous breakfast, fully recommended.

The proprietor Duncan provided a right and proper welcome, helping us get oriented to the locale and answering our questions forthrightly. Two pet cats added a degree of hominess to the accommodation. We enjoyed the breakfast which was cooked to order and served by courteous staff. We thought the room rate was certainly fair and we wouldn't hesitate to book again if we were ever to venture back to Dogellau.
