“Excellent night's sleep, nice location”

I stayed at The Don on the recommendation of a business colleague and, I have to say, was surprised to find this little gem. The landlady was a very friendly, courteous host and had some useful tips on where to go and what to see locally. The building itself was very nice and the views of the surrounding Snowdonia were excellent.
A nice place to stay: family and business travellers alike will, I'd have thought, feel very welcome here.

The Don guest house surpassed my expectations. A large en-suite room with great views, very clean hroughout. A great nights sleep followed by a hearty breakfast cooked to perfection. There's nothing better to set you up for a day's mountain biking.
The landlady was very helpful and friendly. I have already booked my next stay at the end of August and can't wait.

“Warm welcome - made to feel at home”

We and our dog really enjoyed our stay at the Don, and have decided to return next summer, in the hope that the weather will be better and we can actually climb Snowdon! We were made to feel very welcome, and my daughter's fussy eating habits were no problem to the landlady. The room was of a good size, clean and comfortable. Good advice was provided about where to eat in the town and where to walk the dog (away from sheep).

A great stay at The Don. I go to Ffestiniog once in a while and would certainly stay there again. Charming family to stay with. I think we kept the landlady up a little late though :-)
