This fantastic property is the perfect escape for families or groups of friends looking for a relaxing base to return to after a long day out exploring. Sleeping six across three cosy bedrooms, it won’t be long before you’re all ready to get out and explore beautiful Bala Lake (5 miles) or Eryri National Park/Snowdonia (23.5 miles). Make the most of every moment by returning home and enjoying a soak in your private hot tub with a glass of your favourite tipple after a tasty BBQ on the patio.

The property, which is situated on a working farm, welcomes you up some steps and into a porch to take off muddy walking boots. The spacious kitchen, with wooden units and exposed beams, has everything you need to cook up a storm including a range-style electric oven; sit on the sofa and chat to the chef while they cook before moving through to the dining room. This bright and airy room has French doors out to the patio – why not dine alfresco when the weather’s fine? After dinner, retire to the lounge where an inglenook fireplace and wood burner beckon you to sink into the sofas and watch TV. Get away from the busy house and read a book in the snug or play some games with your fellow guests. Upstairs, a stylish shower room is filled with light through the sun tunnel, while neutral decor in the two double bedrooms and one twin helps you drift off to sleep.

If you’re an adventurous lot, head to the National White Water Centre (10 miles) for fun water activities. For groups looking for something more relaxing, hop aboard the Llangollen Railway (28 miles), or hire a bike and explore Llangollen along the peaceful route to the World Heritage Site Froncysyllte. Coed y Brenin Forest Park (21 miles) is well worth a visit with mountain bike trails, waymarked walks and picnic sites among stunning scenery.

A lovely house in a beautiful setting, very spacious and clean. Had everything we needed. Garden is very secure, so we didn't have to watch the dog every time he went out. Hot tub was an added bonus, perfect for easing stiff legs after a long day's walk.

This is a lovely place to stay so quiet and your away from everything and everyone. You have two living room areas with a tv in each so kids got to watch a movie whilst adults watch their own. My kids were fully excited by having tvs in every bedroom. The shower was perfect after a day of walking.

We went to Tesco in Porthmadog on a day out. Hide

A minor point. The toilet has been fitted a little close to the end bathroom wall (about 3"). Moving both the toilet and the sink/vanity unit a little would be far more comfortable.

We stayed here for a mountain biking trip and wanted something out the way but close enough to where we were riding. Located at the back of a farm the cottage had everything we needed and plenty of space. Nearest town bala was only 10mins in a taxi and the local pub also doubled as the shop aswell. All the locals were also friendly.

My wife and I stayed here with our 2 dogs. The cottage is very spacious and offers all necessary facilities for the perfect stay including the Hot Tub which we really enjoyed. The garden area is completely secluded and can be locked off, which gave our dogs the freedom to run around without the worry of them escaping.
