Welcome!
Welcome to Dolgadfa and Crogen Estate, situated on the River Dee and home to
the Robertson family. John and Lou Robertson have carefully restored their Grade
II listed farmhouse into a comfortable home for themselves and their family.
They have now converted one of the Grade II listed detached barns for residential use, offering excellent quality serviced accommodation for up to six adults. The barn overlooks and has stunning views the River Dee which runs through the bottom of the garden. Dolgadfa offers a unique experience for its guests; for unwinding and relaxing, as a stepping stone for other attractions or for the more energetic a variety of activities either within the boundaries of the 2500 acre private estate or the adjoining Snowdonia National Park. There is now an opportunity to stay in the beautiful surroundings of the Dee Valley.
