The house was in the perfect place for us wanting to use Bala lake and explore the surrounding area of Betws-y-Coed and Snowdon, however the photos of the property are v flatterng in terms of space. While the bedrooms were a good size and the bathrooms perfect for our needs, the downstairs space was much smaller than had appeared on the website. ThRead moree kitchen in particular was very small. The external laundry room was brilliantly equipped and gave us somewhere to dry our wetsuits and gear from our days on the lake. The biggest issue with the property is parking. There is NO off-street parking, but the photos give the impression that the space outside of the property is for guest parking. This is NOT the case and we struggled most days to park conveniently - arrival and departure days were particularly problematic. Hide

Overall, the cottage had some good features but also areas that need improvement. On the positive side, the rooms were in good condition, towels were provided, and the hot tub was working well, which was a nice addition to the stay. However, there were several issues downstairs that affected the experience. The property would benefit from a mRead moreore thorough inspection and deep clean. The kitchen floor was very dirty, the pans are quite worn and may need replacing, and the sofa had visible stains and hair. There was also a noticeable odour of animal residue. In addition, a tie was left under the dining table, which suggests the cleaning may not have been fully completed. Access to the property was also a challenge, as entering was difficult due to a skip and larger vehicles parked nearby. With better attention to cleanliness and access arrangements, this cottage could provide a much more enjoyable stay. Hide
