1) Excellent accommodation. 2) Excellent location, 3 Good weather. 4) Dog friendly accommodation & beaches. Doldeg had all of these during our stay, with excellent weather. Plenty of Dog friendly sandy beaches close by with good swimming not far away. Criccieth, Pwllheli, Abersoch and Porthmadog are all worth a visit. So we would be very happy to return to Doldeg.
