We had an excellent holiday staying at Dol Llan. It was lovely walking to the beach in the mornings even though a climb up the hill back.The cottage was lovely. Llangranog is a lovely place to stay with a pub, cafe and fish and chip shop by the beach.

A pretty cottage that was very clean with all that was necessary for our stay. It was very quiet. A negative, is that the access roads are very steep and narrow. The cottage was cosy, but we needed to use the heating, which was very effective, in the evening.The local pub was lively with good food, with generous portions. The beach was lovely and it was worth the effort to visit the nearby beach at Pembryn, although the cafe was only open at weekends at this time of the year.A very enjoyable break and I would recommend Doll Llan for a short stay.
