Set in the lakeside town of Bala in Snowdonia National Park, this beautiful barn conversion blends original features with contemporary comforts for a truly delightful stay. Located a stone’s throw from Lake Tegid, the largest natural lake in Wales, this inviting retreat is ideal for couples and solo adventurers who love the great outdoors. After adventure-filled days walking in the mountains and enjoying water sports on the lake, this cosy cottage is the ideal place to rest and recharge.
Lovingly renovated, this two-storey barn conversion exudes warmth and character. Wooden beams and upcycled farm equipment add rustic charm, while stylish furniture and underfloor heating ensure it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Compact and thoughtfully designed, the kitchen is well equipped to prepare delicious home-cooked fare. Romantic meals can be savoured on the dining table for two or at the bistro table on your private patio. Then snuggle up on the plush sofas for a cosy night in. Upstairs, a charming super-king-size bedroom ensures a restful night’s sleep, and the contemporary bathroom allows you to refresh with ease.
Stroll to the lakeside cafes for morning coffee with a view, then lace up your walking boots and take to the trails. Paths include town and heritage trails, as well as a stroll around the lake; the narrow-gauge Bala Lake Railway covers part of its southern shore. If you love messing about on the water, there are a range of options from fishing, canoeing and kayaking to sailing and windsurfing. Serious walkers will love the challenge of climbing Snowdonia (Yr Wyddfa) (19 miles). If you fancy something a little more gentle, hop on the Snowdon Mountain Railway, which runs between April and October.
