Reviews of Penty
"The cottage was great, very roomy and bright. The owner was very helpful and accommodating in storing our bikes for us. I highly recommend this cottage!"
Reviewed by Mr Fenton on 01/08/2016
"This is a wonderful place to stay in the Dolgellau area. It's conveniently located just outside the main Dolgellau town (although uphill on the way back), so it's in easy walking distance but there's no need to drive through the narrow streets of the town and there's somewhere to park. There are some great walks (e.g. New Precipice Walk) which can be done straight from the cottage, and others only a short drive away (e.g. Cadaer Idris). Within the cottage, the upstairs open-place living space has large windows to give great views of the town and mountain out front, and sheep and chickens at the rear! The kitchen was very well equipped, the beds comfortable for tired walkers, and it was spotlessly clean throughout. Also dog friendly!"

"The views from the cottage were absolutely spectacular, from overlooking the valley up to the breathtaking mountains and the fields to the rear with calves and rabbits. We never got bored of looking out of the windows and this was maximised by the upstairs downstairs arrangement. The cottage felt modern, comfortable and clean, a home from home. The owner was pleasant and friendly but gave you complete privacy, even though only next door, and made the offer of assistance if required. The nearby Precipice Walk is a must as we saw the most beautiful scenery we have ever seen and we would like to revisit."
