    Capel Soar is one of the best places to stay - ever. Capel Soar really is fantastic. Convenient yet quiet location, half way between Dolgellau and Barmouth just a short 400 metres from the Mawddach estuary in a wonderful setting. So quiet we could hear lots of owls calling each other as soon as dusk fell. Warm and cosy with so much space. The master bedroom with en suite is enormous. The dining room seats 10 people easily. Lovely lounge and log burner. Very well equipped, super clean and comfortable. The broadband was incredibly fast. On arrival we had a wonderful surprise- a newly fitted electric car charger, which saved searching for one and queing if we were lucky enough to find a public one working. We will definitely return to this idyllic property.

    It was in a great location and it was easy to get to Dolgellau, the estuary and lots of fantastic walks. The property was very clean and well presented with a good level of equipment. It was very spacious and comfortable. Highly recommended.

    Perfect location for Barmouth and Dolgellau. The children loved the spacious rooms and pool table. Very well equipped and super comfortable.
