Dolffanog Fawr is an 18th Century farmhouse that has recently been thoroughly renovated and converted into one of the finest small luxury bed and breakfast guest houses in Snowdonia. The house is situated in the heart of the stunning Tal-y-llyn valley. We (Alex, Lorraine and our sports mad son Morgan) pride ourselves on creating the perfect bed and breakfast accommodation and an exceptionally high standard of comfort and cleanliness.

All 4 ensuite rooms at the guest home, named after local rivers, are simple yet stylish, neutrally decorated with woollen carpets, local artwork & Melin Tregwynt throws. Large beds with top of the range pocket sprung matresses & crisp Egyptian cotton together with clean Welsh mountain air make for a sound nights' sleep.
Services
Dolffanog Fawr offers 4 ensuite bedrooms all decorated to the highest standard to give a traditional yet contemporary feel. All rooms have large pocket sprung beds, luxurious Egyptian cotton linen and contemporary welsh woollen throws. The rooms also have LCD or LED televisions, alarm clock radios and tea and coffee making facilities.
Dolffanog Fawr is set amongst lawned gardens and a variety of shrubs and trees, guaranteeing colour whenever you visit. The birdfeeders dotted around the garden attract a wide variety of birds at different times of the year, including Nuthatch, Great Spotted Woodpecker and Siskin. Red kites, Buzzards and Peregrine Falcons are also seen from time to time, along with visits from the odd Heron and escapee lamb.
Please note, following several recent incidents, we do not allow dogs to be left unattended in bedrooms unless shut in a pet crate. During meal times they should be left in the car. In order to receive our very best prices please book direct via this website or by phone 01654 76124. Should you chose to book via a 3rd party agent we cannot guarantee you will receive the best prices.
This part of southern Snowdonia is famed for its mountains, scenery and long sandy beaches. There are castles, historic houses, gardens, museums and craft shops. You can watch red kites and other wildlife including otters and dolphins or play golf and go white water rafting. There's also pony trekking and narrow gauge steam railways.
Dolffanog Fawr is situated right in the middle of some of the best mountain biking in Europe. There are four centres nearby; Coed y Brenin, Machynlleth, Nant yr Arian and Antur Stiniog. The first and arguably still the best mountain bike centre in the UK.

The ever increasing network of trails offers something for everybody from the green and blue graded Yr Afon and Minotaur trails (the most popular trail in Europe) up to the fearsome Tarw and Beast trails.The purpose built visitor centre offers hot drinks, snacks, main meals, bike hire and a fully equipped shop.

Awesome place and wonderful food. Nice people who will accommodate your weird requests too. The only thing I didn't like was that all guests dine together, same time, same table. However, you can have your own seperate table if that's an issue. We chose to engage in conversation instead. I will happily return.

Lovely B & B. We stayed for two nights and Alex and Lorraine were lovely hosts. Food very good had an evening meal one night which was excellent.
Breakfast also very good with a cooked breakfast and an additional contintal style as well.
Rooms very clean and contemporary with stunning views. Weather was poor when we visited but scenery is still stunning.

We are a group of wine lovers who spend a boozy weekend here every year. Alex and Lorraine are excellent hosts, he as front house and she as brilliant cook. This property is beautifully located and very comfortable. Highly recommended.
