Duncan's an excellent host - thanks for your top welcome and humour! Comfortable beds, excellent bathroom, and good breakfast. Perfect location in the centre of an exceptional town with good pubs and a surprisingly good cocktail bar...
Everything was fine.

My partner and I live this B&B. It is the prime lovation to visit family. Duncan is always so accommodating with our diet choice and he is possibly the friendliest person we have met.
Nothing that wouldn't bring us back again.

Very comfortable one night stay. The property is very old and very characterful. Our twin bed room was a decent size with all necessary amenities supplied. We had a delicious cooked Welsh breakfast but also available was continental style, fresh fruit compote and yoghurt.
The parking is difficult due to the streets being very narrow but we managed to find a space outside the property and there is also a large public car park nearby.

Good Location.
Friendly and Warming Welcome on Arrival.
Bed lovely and Comfy.
Nice hot shower, loved the bathroom tap.
Liked the Quirkiness of the place, felt like we were stepping back into the 80's.

Breakfast was lovely as were the staff, Duncan had a very British sense of humour and they even offered our dog a sausage for breakfast.
They had complimentary tea and hot chocolate in the room which was a little unusual since I usually see coffee and tea but I prefer hot chocolate anyway! It was lovely.
Honestly no complaints
4.4
the welcome set the tone: warm and good-humoured. in a great central location, we could abandon the car and walk to explore the town and reach our restaurant. we even managed to enjoy a brief sit in the colourful garden.
breakfast was a surprise, kippers were on the menu, which is always a treat for me!
we would certainly return to Ivy House.

Excellent central location. Really friendly host. High standard breakfast.
Would have preferred off street parking but not possible in a place as small as Dolgellau. Better to be central without dedicated parking as easy access to restaurants.

Everything was of a high standard and quality and the personal help and assistance by the owner was exceptional. Well done. Your assistance with my wife's illness was outstanding and is really appreciated.
Parking in the area is a challenge but even this was handled fantastically.

Great guest house, perfect location in the town centre and very clean and comfy rooms. The owner is very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast excellent. I would stay here again
4.4
Comfortable room. Good location in town centre.
Room dated and small. Staff not particularly welcoming. Advised to park in lay-by- other public parking significant distance away, would be an issue for anyone with a disability
4.4
Wonderful B&B just around the corner from the main town square.
Comfortable clean room. Full cooked breakfast set us up for the day, great variety available.
Duncan was very welcoming, extremely helpful and accommodating with our variety of requests.

great place in the middle of town ,room was tremendous everything that you need .parking for motorcycle was easy and safe, breakfast was a treat served by a young lady who asked what I would like nothing seemed a problem!
nothing to complain about worth every penny Duncan can answer any questions about all things regarding the town ,restaurants and pubs !

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly.
Excellent Breakfast.
Location is also excellent - very convenient in the town centre for restaurants etc.
Shower room is quite small and a little cramped.
Car parking close by is difficult - can do so in a nearby lay-by on a pot-luck basis with a 1 hour time limitation.

Lovely homely b&b. Tea tray very good. Bathroom and accessories lovely. Breakfast superb
Duvet too heavy for time of year - too hot
4.4
Breakfast. Quiet location. Place to lock up pedal cycles out of view.
Mattress was firmer than I prefer, but probably fine for most.
4.4
A comfortable and extremely clean B & B, although dated in decor this added to the comfort of the place, like going to your Nan’s for a sleepover, and as such it felt so safe and welcoming. Duncan was friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast waitress polite and helpful. Lovely breakfast with additional choices of yoghurts, cereals, hams, etc, plus a delicious fruit compote!
Nothing, the whole process from booking, to check in, to check out was easy.

central location & parking short walk away.
Nothing all good.

Duncan and staff were welcoming and friendly. Very helpful.
The bathroom facilities have a mechanical flush which makes an awful noise.
4.4
Friendly staff but poor standard of service; the place is very old and not well mantained (bathrooms are more modern though); hygiene was not satisfactory (cat in the kitchen, dirty carpets everywhere, no minimal tidying up of the room in the morning). Breakfast served early with a strict 1-hour window and just a very limited choice. One would definitely expect more for the price and the 3 stars.
4.4
Welcoming and friendly/helpful host, excellent breakfast, located in nice town with good pubs/restaurants.
4.4
Quirky but friendly and welcoming host explained where everything in the B&B was and offered good suggestions for parking.
Clean en-suite room. Comfortable beds.
Excellent location for the town centre!
Good hearty breakfast that set us up for the day.
Doesn't have its own parking, but to be fair, that's going to be true of most places to stay in the centre of Dolgellau.
Only one set of keys between two adults. Although this seems to be commonplace, it would be SOOO appreciated if a set of keys PER ADULT could be provided. I was not travelling with a romantic partner, we are not joined at the hip, and we have very different body clocks and preferences. It would be appreciated if we could have a set of keys each (even if this service required an additional deposit).

We had stayed for 1 night. Host Duncan was very Welcoming and his Wife friendly, when we saw here at breakfast time. The rooms were adequate and beds very comfortable and warm, hot shower. A good selection of breakfast items to choose from, the full breakfast was well cooked & very tasty indeed.
Personally the downside for me were the decor ie: curtains & carpets throughout (including staircases) being very well used and dated
