Head to Snowdonia National Park for a romantic retreat for two at this charming and characterful cottage in the lakeside town of Bala. Surround yourself with nature and make the most of the scenic walking routes, mountain biking trails and beauty spots nearby. Spend cosy evenings snuggled up on the sofa after enjoying a home-cooked meal in this homely property.
Step inside and feel the heat from the underfloor heating as you move across the open-plan living area. All in one sociable space beneath a wooden beamed ceiling is a farmhouse-style kitchen with wooden units, a lounge with a spacious sofa plus a dining table and chairs. Climb the stairs to reach the modern bathroom with a shower over the bath and a king-size bedroom with a slanted ceiling with beams. Outside is a small patio area with seating and a BBQ.
Start your day with a stroll into the centre (less than 0.5 miles) of the market town of Bala where you can grab a coffee and some breakfast before setting off on a walk around the largest natural lake in Wales – Bala lake (less than 0.5 miles). Just 3.5 miles away is the Aberhirnant national forest, or if you fancy a challenge, hike to the top of Aran Fawddwy (13 miles). For an action-packed day out, visit the National White Water Centre (4 miles) for some rafting. Or the Pistyll y Cain Waterfall (24 miles) in Coed y Brenin Forest Park offers a more relaxing afternoon out.
