Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Plas Dolguog is often praised for its peaceful location near Machynlleth, offering nice views of the hills, sometimes seen from a rooftop terrace. Many guests enjoy the tasty breakfast and some have particularly appreciated the deli platter offered for supper. While a few guests have mentioned that the room cleaning could be improved for the price, the location near Dyfi mountain biking park and the secure shed for bikes are definite advantages.

underwhelming stay

faulty showerno heating

the heating wasn't working when i got there it only started working after i left the following day. it was quite cold that night. also the walk-in-shower caused flooding in the bathroom the water did not drain fast enough. i told the manager about it and he apologized but the issues detracted from the experience

I had problems WITH the tv in the room. there were no staff around, so i called and the woman said she couldn't come until later but her husband might come at 8pm. He didn't. the bin had old rubbish, like EMPTY cider cans.

I had some issues . The TV remote didn't work at first, but staff replaced batteries quickly when I asked? there was no key for the veranda door in my room, and , made me worry. I didn't feel totally secure with my belongings in there. Housekeeping also skipped my room one day. Considering what I paid I found that unacceptable.

The building is beautiful and it sits in a quite location. Check in was easy and its great the hotel welcomes dogs. The bed was comfy and I liked the temperature in the room.

Instructions to get into the room weren't in view, that was annoying. The best parts of the hotel are off limits to guests, that seems strange.

the breakfast was delicious, with a good variety. the staff was helpful with my breakfast order! the hotel decor was very charming and full of character. the piano room had beautiful furniture and a lovely choice of drinks with an honesty box.
