1. Plas Isa
Type: Independent Hostel/Guesthouse
Nestled centrally in Dolgellau, Plas Isa provides a welcoming environment particularly for walkers, cyclists, and outdoor adventurers. Its charm lies in private rooms, many with bunk beds, complemented by shared bathrooms that offer excellent facilities. I found the self-catering kitchen, lounge, and dining area perfect for connecting with fellow guests over a meal or planning the next day's exploration. The complimentary continental breakfast is a great start to any day in Snowdonia. The hosts are genuinely helpful, offering local insights and ensuring a comfortable stay.
