Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A four-star country house hotel above the Mawddach estuary at Penmaenpool, just west of Dolgellau in southern Eryri. It has the Afon restaurant and lounge dining. It suits walkers and couples who want a quiet estuary base in southern Eryri. Dogs stay in five dog-friendly rooms, and you can eat the full restaurant menu, breakfast included, in a dog-friendly dining space.

Dogs stay in five dog-friendly bedrooms, booked by phone or email. They can't go into the Afon restaurant, but the restaurant menus are served in a dog-friendly dining space for breakfast, lunch and dinner (worth pre-booking), and there's informal dining from the lounge menu in one of the lounges.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
