Savour the serenity of this rustic Welsh retreat, which sits in picturesque surroundings 5.5 miles from Bala. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom holiday home offers comfortable accommodation for a small family or two couples eager to explore North Wales. With both the Snowdonia National Park and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within easy reach for day trips, the former barn is also ideal for anyone wishing to be close to Llyn Tegid (also known as Lake Bala) with its walking, cycling and water sports.
Let yourself into the enticing hideaway, which also welcomes four-legged friends, to find it still presents an abundance of original barn features. Make your way into the kitchen/diner to prepare tasty Welsh dishes for your family and friends and to enjoy together at the table. Stay here afterwards to watch TV or amble down a couple of steps to the lounge, where there is a TV/DVD for alternative viewing. Play games in here instead or discuss the exciting adventures of the day. Climb the stairs to the first floor to lay your head for the night in either the double bedroom, which has an en-suite shower room, or the twin. The family bathroom is also up here. The first-floor spaces have some restricted head-height due to their characterful, sloped ceilings. Spill out into the sunshine of your private garden to light the BBQ, dine out in the fresh air and absorb the glorious views. There is parking at this cottage.
Venture deeper into Snowdonia to find footpaths to follow and peaks to climb. Pack a picnic and plan a trip to scenic Llangollen, 16 miles away in the other direction. Here you can undertake an 11-mile hike along the magical Llangollen Canal, pausing at the striking Pontcysyllte Aqueduct as you pass.
