    Delightful semi-rural location with lovely grounds/view. Arrived early evening and pleased to find plenty of parking. Warm welcome and friendly advice. When enquired about places to eat, offered to provide a platter which I accepted, and glad I did. Beautiful selection with local produce and home made chutney; unsurprisingly the local bottled ale also went down a treat. Owners trying to do something slighty different, and reflected in breakfast choice which was refreshing. I was on the first floor and views were super. If you are in the area. put it on your list,

    Tim and Helen remained professional throughout our two nights stay. They were always available when I needed something and happily catered to the needs of my two small children. I loved the fact that they had birthday balloons in the bedroom on our arrival which made our stay extra special.

    From my perspective an option for firmer pillows. The ones provided were very nice, but quite soft (even though I was given 4!). Just a matter of personal preference on my side.

    Tim and Helen were very friendly hosts and breakfast was really great. The room was comfortable and had all the amenities we needed for our stay.

    I have nothing to report and indeed I point out that there was really no way to find something wrong because everything was absolutely perfect.

    The stay at the Old Vicarage Dolfor was unique and exceptional. The welcome is as warm as if we were at home and the facility is everything you would want from a hotel in Wales. The spacious and ultra-comfortable room characterized by furniture and tapestries typical of these countryside places, the bathroom with its imperial bathtub and the magnificent view over the green fields populated by the nice and exceptional Welsh sheep. For anyone traveling to mid-Wales, the stop in this place is not only recommended but mandatory. Tim & Helen are impeccable hosts, very kind and absolutely respectful of privacy. They are also exceptional cooks and the breakfasts are not to be missed!
