    Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Owners were very welcoming. All the little niggles which are annoying were covered. Plenty of tea pots, extra crockery, hooks on doors and good supply of toilet paper. Also good off road parking.

    Dolau Farmhouse has something for everyone! The house is very well equipped, from the the kitchen utensils to the games room (complete with an arcade machine),to Netflix, Disney and Prime on the TV! Special thanks John, who would made us feel at home and went out of his way to help make and outdoor firewood stove for our large crowd! We particularly enjoyed spending time outside playing family games of cricket, football & tennis, as well enjoying BBQ days and stargazing at night, all within the comfort of the grounds of Dolau. Even though we had a lot of sight seeing planned for the week, the group rarely felt like leaving the farmhouse, so we spent most of our time at home and it was perfect. Will definitely be returning!

    The house is spacious and has everything you need, the owners are very welcoming and accomodating - greeting in person on arrival, sending lots of information through via email prior to the stay and were also available via phone to answer any questions in the lead up to the stay. Facilities wise the 2 bins available are not enough for a week for a large group and we found the instructions regarding the waste a little confusing. The one thing I didn't feel was made clear enough was that the working farm aspect of the property includes a daily visit (sometimes two) from the owner; including one the night before we were due to leave checking that we were all packed and ready. Whilst this wasn't an issue for some of our party, it would personally put me off booking again.
