Located about one and a half miles from the market town of Dolgellau, Dolgun Uchaf is a small farm, offering bed and breakfast in guesthouse lodging, with views of the mountains and excellent walking, including the famous torrent walk that passes only a few hundred metres from the establishment.

Dolgun Uchaf is an award winning 4* Bed and Breakfast providing ensuite accommodation.

History to the present day

Dolgun Uchaf dates back to the 15th Century, where it started life as a medieval hall house.  In the 17th Century, Ellis Morris and family settled here and that is when Dolgun Uchaf started its history as a Quaker meeting house. George Fox visited the area in 1657 and converted many locals to Quakerism, and despite many Quakers being prosecuted for their beliefs, Ellis Morris continued to hold meetings in Dolgun. 

Dolgun Uchaf features in the novel Ystafell Ddirgel (The Secret Room).
