This tranquil retreat enjoys an elevated position overlooking the River Dee, just 3.5 miles from the charming market town of Bala. The property sleeps four guests and makes a great base for couples and small families looking to rest and recharge in beautiful surroundings. You’ll be on the eastern edge of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), with its myriad of walking and cycling trails, and you’ll also find pretty footpaths to explore within the surrounding farmland.
A ramp leads to the single-storey barn conversion, which is set on a 220-acre working farm. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming, contemporary holiday home with a bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Spend time here, cooking up a storm in the kitchen area and sharing delicious meals at the cute dining table. In the evenings, sink into the plump sofas to watch the TV/DVD or simply admire the magnificent valley views through the patio doors. When it’s time for bed, choose from two inviting twin bedrooms. A stylish shower room completes the accommodation. Outside, enjoy an al fresco breakfast or a sundowner at the picnic bench on the enclosed terrace. Guests are welcome to explore the footpaths within the grounds and stroll down to the picturesque River Dee.
The traditional Welsh market town of Bala has a great range of independent shops, pubs, and restaurants. The town is home to Wales’s largest natural lake – Llyn Tegid – and is a hotspot for all manner of water sports, including kayaking, windsurfing, and paddleboarding. The lake is popular with anglers, and you can also ride the steam train of the Bala Lake Railway along its majestic shores. The area is a haven for walkers, with exhilarating tracks and trails to explore through the Aran, Arenig, and Berwyn mountain ranges.
