I highly recommend the Dolgoch Falls Hotel. It’s a beautiful setting with bus and steam train transport close. There are beautiful waterfall walks on the doorstep and mountain walks or beach strolls within reasonable distance. …

Fantastic walk, well worth the 40-45 minutes spent reaching the top. Easy to moderate walk/climb. Safe for young children if supervised. 8 thoroughly recommend this walk. The cafe is great back at the start next to the car park. It has a nice secluded garden sesting area.

This was our second stay at The Dolgoch, it’s a lovely place to stay and Nigel remembered us from last year and the reason why we were there. The room was clean and tidy and the breakfast was great, Nigel couldn’t do enough for us. …
