Plas Dolguog in Powys

The best weekend, I came here for a birthday retreat and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish ! The hosts were wonderful and so welcoming, we laughed and laughed ourselves to tears with them, what a fabulous hotel beautiful with stunning rooms surroundings and exceptional standards, we’ll be back for sure

A lovely stay here on our bike packing journey through Wales. There was a bike store and they kindly let us use their washing machines for our cycling kit. Breakfast was delicious and for dinner there was the option to order cold platters (as long as you ordered before 6pm) which were also very tasty - see picture. Would recommend to anyone cycling through the area!

This hotel is really well located for walks around the area. The hotel dates back to the 16th century but has recently gone through a refurbishment. The rooms are really well thought out with an operatic Italian vibe and have everything you need for a comfortable stay! The shower is really modern and amazing! The stay also comes with breakfast, and it was superb, coming down the stairs to the smell of freshly baked pastrys and a cooked breakfast served to your table! There was also fresh fruit and yogurts and granola. The hotel also offers services for weddings and other events and has some spectacular views over the valleys! For the best price i recommended looking on the website or ringing them for a personal discount.

Plas Dolguog appealed to be class-apart with a strong character best suited for leisure. The site maintenance is impeccable. Friendly host. Good chance one falls in love with the place. The balcony views are beautiful. Love every bit of it ❤️

Old building in the middle of Welsh countryside. Therefore exhibits those characteristics. It was ok but I probably wouldn't return

Not your traditional hotel, but really a place with a nice quiet atmosphere

Recently refurbished Manor House style b&b with beautiful gardens. Stylish, comfy rooms, ours also had a great view. Staff very friendly, no fuss checking in/out, breakfast was great served in a beautiful room. Bar was also open with impromptu welsh folk jam on the go. Really great.

We had a fabulous stay to celebrate our Ruby anniversary. The room was sumptious and the balcony views stunning. Rosie made sure we were well looked after with her friendly and engaging manner and conversation. Each day started off on the best footing with delicious breakfasts prepared by James.

We had an amazing stay here during Mach Comedy Festival. Breakfast was superb, with lots of delicious options for vegans. The hosts were also so warm and welcoming. Planning to stay here again for sure!

Plas Dolguog is an amazing bed and breakfast that my husband Pree and I always stop at for work and for vacation. The staff are so friendly and incredibly helpful. They answer quickly, they keep the rooms incredibly clean, with views of the mountains. The breakfast is so delicious and it's perfect every single time we go. They have juices and honey that's locally sourced and they take great care in maintaining the property. They are attentive to every question and every need and consistently take feedback to make this place a safe, family friendly, and incredibly comfortable stay.

The hotel is located in a beautiful setting a short drive away from shops, restaurants, bars etc. However the Hotel bar is well stocked and the restaurant food is of a very good standard. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room we were in was spacious and comfortable but I have taken one star off as I felt the decor was a bit tired and there was a bath with a mixer shower. I have to say that I knew about the lack of a power shower when booking.

A beautiful, family run hotel in historic Machynlleth, great for exploring Mid-Wales. Well appointed, spacious rooms and friendly staff make it a lovely place to stay and my family enjoyed our break. Lovely grounds and river made for a peaceful pre breakfast stroll.

Great place to stay, what a little gem! Will be going back very soon, Tina and Anthony are really nice people and great hosts. This lovely place really helps you relax in beautiful surroundings and stunning views. Highly recommended.

Great setting, lovely views, friendly staff, nice play area for kids. Shame food and drink prices have shot up recently. Needs more outside tables. Food served 4 to 8pm and drinks 4 to 9pm , which is a bit off putting when you fancy an evening drink. Opening hours very short compared to most pubs and restaurants.

Great place, location and rooms. Disapointed with mains food. Deserts were good though

Beautiful food, lovely friendly staff, awesome gardens. We have been before and will certainly come again 😊

Beautiful location, but the meal we had was only worth 3 stars.

Love hotel lovely people and really friendly

Lovely friendly welcoming, food fantastic and a lovely room. Just a shame I only stayed for one night and that was work related. Would love to go back when everything has reopened again and have a proper explore.

Positives....Location, views, scenery. Good base for exploring the area. Nice homemade chips. Tasty lasagne. COVID one way system. Comfortable bed.Negatives.... The food, first night dinner - the peas were inedible, like bullets.Breakfast- the cheapest most tasteless sausage ever.Mouldy shower screen, cobwebs in bedroom and bathroom. COVID one way not in use during the day as the main door is locked!

The service is excellent and the food is excellent, and served in beautifully surroundings

We enjoyed a pleasant two night’s stay at Plas Dolguog during a motorcycle trip. A comfortable hotel with great food and really friendly, helpful staff, it was the perfect base for our trip.

WoW.. Going the extra mile springs to mind. My Family and I (8) in total stayed over for a long bank holiday weekend close by and ventured out looking for somewhere to eat. Finding this off road rertreat after being turned away from a local establishment (locals only) I ventured inside to be welcomed by a lovely lady by the name of Tina. After listening to my previous encounter elsewhere, Tina took up the challenge and found a space for us to eat.Initially outside then a family table inside. Service fantastic / Food fantastic / Surroundings fantastic and just to add what a real pleasure it was for the chef to take time interacting and educating the grand children with regards to the Golden Eagle statues. I cannot fault the professional attitude and service from Tina and her staff who made my family and I feel truly welcome. Tina, you are a STAR.. Thank you

Had an evening meal it was fabulous, the service was excellent, the restaurant was set up for social distancing made you feel very safe, and the food was amazing

Stunning location, friendly cheerful staff, large clean rooms, good food. No complaints at all, will definitely be visiting again.

I stayed at Plas Dolguog overnight on the way to the south of Wales. I would have happily stayed for a fortnight. Absolutely stunning landscape, extremely helpful staff and very comfy beds. The gardens were fun to explore and the walks I took alongside the river in the early morning were magical.

Lovely position with great views, staff welcoming and friendly. Beds really comfortable and the food was great.

Lovely place great views, freindly people

Beautiful location Food and staff excellent

Great hotel in the most beautiful location

Gardens that can offer a real exporation of nature and senses. From Kingfishers on the river to bug houses, stone circles and totem poles - kids would love it.

Beautiful views and gorgeous setting. Good food and staff very pleasant and helpful. Great place to de-stress.

Fantastic views, great atmosphere, friendly clientele

Room 4 very tired. Needs major update. No shower. Staff very friendly

Another most enjoyable stay at Plas Dolguog Hotel, our fifth. But despite the usual excellent service from its staff, it is quite clear that the hotel and gardens are in a sorry state, not the restaurant though. Grandma’s Garden, once a joy to walk round, is now overgrown and neglected. The decor in places is in need of refreshing and cleaning. The toilet seat in our en-suite was very loose and, at times, dangerous. Surely the room attendant would have noticed? But despite the need for some sensitive TLC the hotel does retain a feeling of welcome, peace and charm. Not sure if we’ll make a sixth visit though.

We arrived on a bus. Lovely food fast service , friendly. lovely surrounded by country side.

Excellent food,good service ,perfect lication

Really disappointing menu and food terrible

Don't even think about it!!!!!! The meals were half portions, top money. Very, very dissapointing. The staff don't give a damn.

Food fantastic and great staff couldn't do enough for us

Great food. And pleasant helpful staff

Great outlook of the dyfi Valley with good food and pleasant atmosphere

Best hotel I've used in this area super staff and food

Lovely place Staff helpfull and very friendly. Will go again

Good stop for a short walk to a waterfall. There is also a longer walk if you don't mind a climb'!

Super friendly and thoughtful staff. Any small issues were fixed straight away

Really pleasant place. Great view across the valley. Good food, great beer nice staff.

We had a lovely mid week evening meal whilst on holiday in Machynlleth. As it was mid week the restaurant was very quiet but the staff were super friendly and food served quickly. The food was very tasty with a good choice available (and reasonably priced). We were lucky enough to visit on a lovely sunny evening so enjoyed our drinks / meal outside and enjoyed the magnificent view.

Staff very friendly and helpful. The food is good but the accommodation is quite basic. Stunning views and beautiful scenery

Fantastic service and meal at Dolguog. Asked for my Gannon well done and it was cooked perfectly. The garlic and herb potatoes were delicious. I am a bit a chocolate pudding queen and the hot chocolate fudge cake and ice cream didn't disappoint. We will definitely revisit.

Room quite comfortable nice area breakfast was nice ok place

Beautiful place and wonderful food.

Very smart and situated in a nice part of the Dovey Valley.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception here a couple of weeks ago. The staff are lovely and Tina was so helpful throughout. We couldnt have picked a better place for our special day. The location and views are incredible especialy on a beautiful day and the place has such a warm and friendly feel to it. I also have to say the food was the best i have had in a long time. From breakfast to the evening meal it was all lovely. Couldnt fault the place or staff at all and can't wait to go back.

Lovely hotel set in fabulous grounds. Wonderful staff, great rooms and superb breakfasts!

Nice rooms and great bar and restaurant. Very helpful staff

Beautiful setting although not immediately obvious on approach. Cool quirky Grandma's garden. Good choice of food be wine reasonably priced. Friendly staff. Very clean. Suitable for all ages Will definitely visit again.

Nice location, lovely views, evening meals and breakfast offer a good choice. Clean rooms and a good size.

Friendly staff and good night's sleep!

We had a lovely meal here and the Staff very friendly and helpful Food was reasonably priced with a goos selection

Lovely buffet and views for a wake.

Lovely place to stay great seanary

I stayed at this hotel from 20th to 22nd November. The hotel is situated in a lovely location, the appearance on the outside is very nice and inside does not disappoint. It is nicely decorated, clean and has period features including wooden beams.The room I stayed in was warm, clean and spacious, the bed was comfortable and had a nice en-suite bathroom.The restaurant was very nice and again had nice features and the food quality was excellent with excellent value for money.Highly recommended.

Good place to stay, helpful friendly staff. reasonably priced. Good breakfast too

A very nice place with helpful staff.

Muy agradable, buena ubicación, aunque a lo largo de un prolongado trackway que conduce a la ruta Machynlleth. Excelente habitación, muy limpia y muy cómoda. Comidas - desayuno y cena - fueron excelentes. Buen servicio. La otra cosa muy buena es el entorno - con vistas a la Dovey. Muy tranquilo. Jardín de la abuela que vale la pena visitar.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

Visited for a wake, very nice facilities, buffet was really nice. Not much parking

We arrived at the hotel at 8.45pm (food stopped at 9pm) we ordered lamb with all the trimmings.. all cooked fresh absolutley beautifully! The service we received from all staff throughout our stay was exceptional. The view from our balcony is stunning to wake up to! Our room is more than sufficent 'home from home' on suite bathroom and a bed you dont want to leave. Huge thumbs up and a massive thanks for making us feel welcome! 👍👌

Had the steak offer. This was basic well cooked good food. Great chips. The desserts were really good.

More variety in healthy choices needed as I have to watch what I eat. Chips seems to come with everything, No choice of salads. Can order potatoes and vegetables but need more main meals to choose from to accompany them.

Manager and staff were excellent treated us very well, will certainly be returning, I understand the manager has only been there about five weeks but If he treats all his guests the way we were treated he will be a great success.

La actualización ha comenzado en la place, y al parecer después de sólo un par de semanas, estoy seguro de que esto probablemente pronto será uno de los mejores de la zona, si el interior se puede igualar las espléndidas vistas y el personal agradable, impresionante. El bar es sólo el comienzo.

Nice quiet location, food was quality, garden are a nice walk, and staff are very friendly.

Lovely hotel in lovely surroundings. Very friendly staff that do as much as they can to make you feel as welcome as possible. Restaurants food is very good with good portion sizes. All very reasonably priced.

The food is excellent and varied and the restaurant is in the conservatory with wonderful uninterrupted views to the hills beyond the gorgeous Grandma's Garden.

I have tried almost all the menu and will get to the rest, all well cooked and presented all round a good feed.

Good space for parking. Quiet and peaceful. I was picking up a friend so not sure what the service is like.

Stunning tucked away location with breathtaking views from the main lounge. Ideal for a quiet/romantic dinner. Food was spot on - well priced and delicious. Book early evening for the most exceptional sunset over snowdonia park.

One can spend hours walking around the gardens, from the river side with slopes and vegetation, to the open gardens with themed areas, pagoda, arch, azalea walk, etc. There are rooms to hire for conferences, one can stay in the secluded hotel or have a wonderful meal overlooking the valley and mountains in the distance.

Good menu with a variety of food choices with good presentation and quality. the restaurant had a wonderful 180 degree view of the surrounding countryside creating an very enjoyable environment.

Booked a family meal for my Mother's birthday. We requested the full menu to be available which gave a good selection of dishes.Very pleasant location and view from the restaurant. Food was good and a very plentiful supply of vegetables accompanied it.Excellent service.

went there for a sunday lunch, last visit was many years ago. place has changed hands, so we were looking forward to going, 4 of us. the setting is wonderful on the banks of the river dyfi, overlooking the valley, really nice. warm welcome. the usual selection on a sunday menu, something for everyone. not many people eating there either. the starter was really good - prawn salad, the pate was ok but should have had toast with it not bread, my opinion. the main of beef and lamb was ok, nothing special, looked as though the meat had been put on the plate a while, the vegetarian option was stodgy and heavy and very oily. we had to wait for the veg to be delivered to the table, had to ask for the wine list whilst we had our starters, only for it to arrive just before the main course......we did not bother with sweet. all in all, things have not changed here, the food is really only average, the service is the same. a real disappointment. left after meal, went home for a cup of tea!

Family booked a weekend stay in what on first appearances looks like a lovely little spot hidden far away from noise and distractions. The most exciting thing that happens is a passing train now and again. No shower caps provided, no papers available, food is pretty much a disaster, tired and shabby décor. Loud music (Harry Secombe?) on a loop that went round at least three times while we were having dinner. Garden only open on Wednesdays and Fridays and admission is not included in the cost of the stay. So much room for improvement...

Amazing location, beautiful views and walk, AMAZING BREAKFAST! Our room was a family room with a balcony facing the fields and trees. We had a great sleep and although we didn't eat dinner in the hotel, we ate an astonishingly good breakfast before visiting my sister. I recommend this place!

We had forgotten to book Sunday Lunch at the Excellent Maengwyn cafe, & a snap decision by my sister, she booked Plas Dolguog. An excellent meal was had by all, very good value for money, fantastic Welsh Vally scenery, Staff friendly & happy. very well worth a visit!

A real hidden gem. I thought I knew this area, but found Grandma's Garden on the internet. Curiosity got the better of me. Beautiful gardens well worth the contribution. And finished off with what must be one of the best cream teas I've eaten. The view from the patio and conservatory is magnificent. Two functions on this afternoon but still excellent service, and the buffet looked fantastic. We'll be back for a full meal in the not too distant future.

Can't fault the meal this Christmas Day at the Plas, we had a real nice day. The welcome was really nice and staff and owners went out of their way to make the day enjoyable. I believe we had Seven courses in all, so by the time we had the Christmas pudding we where stuffed. You expect to pay little more for Xmas day but well worth the money. We have been before for meals and can't fault the place.

An amazing find. Walking upto hotel the views and scenery where amazing. The hotel looked Fantastic. Especially when you walk into the restaurant the views outside were stunning and inside it was bright and spacious tastefully decorated. All the staff made our family feel welcome and were friendly. They provided an excellent service. The food was outstanding. Spoilt for choice. Excellent value for money. We had drinks outside where there was plenty to do for all the family from a play area to the extensive grounds. We went round Grandma's gardens which was amazing to. We had such a great experience we wanted to share it.

We stumbled upon this place and made sunday reservations without reading reviews first, we had a great surprise, the place is wonderful. The staff are professional and provide a great service, they are discreet and unintrusive whilst being warm, freindly and efficient and that is a rare skill. You don't feel rushed, the food is exquisitely cooked. We have been back several times. The restaurant is situatued in an extension with big glass windows and doors overlooking the gardens and Cambrian mountains, there is a place for children to play (and they are beautifully accommodating of children and engage with them which makes them feel welcome too).There are no negatives, it's an established well run hotel, with excellent facilities for large gatherings, weddings and parties.

I was at Plas Dolguog for post-funeral refreshments, sandwiches, cakes and the like which were fine. The problem was the low level of heat. During the couple of hours we were there the majority of people kept their coats on because it was cold.
