A stunning dining room off the lounge has an open fire and huge dining table to seat up to 28, while a second dining room overlooks the lake, has a table for 10 and houses the Hall’s library. To take the hard work out of large-scale catering, the kitchen has three range-style electric ovens and hobs, a double fridge, double freezer, fridge and two dishwashers. Head into the utility room and you’ll find a further electric oven and hob, laundry equipment and access to a handy boot room with the grounds beyond. For after-dinner entertainment, settle down with drinks and snacks in the lower ground floor’s 14-seat cinema. Once the movie’s over, back on the ground floor there’s a lovely bedroom with twin zip-and-link beds which can be made up as a super-king-size on request and its own en-suite wet room. Along the corridor there are two separate WCs and a super-king-size zip-and-link bed room that can be made up as a twin on request and has an en suite shower room. Upstairs, the first floor has a high ceiling, picture windows and access to the balcony. Here you’ll find a spacious super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom (which can be made up as a twin on request) with two additional single beds, corner sofa and en-suite bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. On the right is a king-size bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and another large flexible room has two super-king-size zip-and-link beds (that can be made up as four singles on request) with an en-suite bathroom with bath and separate shower. Moving along, you’ll find a further twin zip-and-link (which can be made up as a super-king-size on request) with en-suite bathroom and the master bedroom, which has an exquisite super-king bed, seating area, TV, dressing area and stunning en-suite bathroom with freestanding bath, separate shower and two sinks.

Another stylish bathroom ensures comfort and convenience for all, and every bedroom has its own TV. Whether you want to chill out or let off steam, the grounds here have something to suit everyone. Unwind with a soak in the hot tub, explore the shared grounds, or arrange a fishing or watersports session. There’s a lawned area that’s perfect for family games, plus a play area for younger guests, and up to three dogs are welcome to join in all the fun.

The Hall is just 1.5 miles from Bala where you’ll find cafes, pubs, shops and Wales’ largest natural lake – a great location for canoeing, swimming, cycling and walking; if you’d like something less active, take a ride on the narrow-gauge Bala Lake Railway.

Ideal property for large groups, we had 4 generations staying. There's plenty of space, inside and out, and it is well equipped. Great location and water sports were especially enjoyed by the younger generations.

This is a superb property for large groups and our three generational family group of 23 liked it so much that we have already booked again for next year. Bodweni is very well equipped and, with so much to do on site, you don't really need to go anywhere else but, if you want to, there is plenty for all ages to do in the area. We particularly likeRead mored the fact that everyone had a proper bed (no sofa beds) and either a private bathroom, or a shared one very close by. Everyone, too, had a very comfortable dining room chair - no fold ups - and all 23 of us could sit round one table! The view from the house was beautiful and the outside seating area felt very private. This property lived up to all our expectations and everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Hide

A great location, and a property well set up for a large group of people - enough dining seats and sitting space for everyone. The house was warm enough, and well equipped for our needs. Lots of fun things to do - the games room, the cinema, the outside space etc. I think the property was refurbished to a high standard, but it's now a little worn iRead moren places and could do with some TLC, but nothing that spoiled our wonderful vacation.

24 of us had an amazing week at Bodweni Hall to celebrate. Plenty of space for everyone to do their own thing and to come together to enjoy social time. Table accommodated all 24 for of us. The weather wasn't so kind to us but we played on the Lake and the river regardless. Swimming in the river was great.
