Overview
Property code: OC-82768

Savour the serenity of this rustic Welsh retreat, which sits in picturesque surroundings 5.5 miles from Bala. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom holiday home offers comfortable accommodation for a small family or two couples eager to explore North Wales. With both the Snowdonia National Park and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within easy reach for day trips, the former barn is also ideal for anyone wishing to be close to Llyn Tegid (also known as Lake Bala) with its walking, cycling and water sports.

Let yourself into the enticing hideaway, which also welcomes four-legged friends, to find it still presents an abundance of original barn features. Make your way into the kitchen/diner to prepare tasty Welsh dishes for your family and friends and to enjoy together at the table. Stay here afterwards to watch TV or amble down a couple of steps to the lounge, where there is a TV/DVD for alternative viewing. Play games in here instead or discuss the exciting adventures of the day. Climb the stairs to the first floor to lay your head for the night in either the double bedroom, which has an en-suite shower room, or the twin. The family bathroom is also up here. The first-floor spaces have some restricted head-height due to their characterful, sloped ceilings. Spill out into the sunshine of your private garden to light the BBQ, dine out in the fresh air and absorb the glorious views. There is parking at this cottage.

Venture deeper into Snowdonia to find footpaths to follow and peaks to climb. Pack a picnic and plan a trip to scenic Llangollen, 16 miles away in the other direction. Here you can undertake an 11-mile hike along the magical Llangollen Canal, pausing at the striking Pontcysyllte Aqueduct as you pass.

The cottage was just beautiful with everything you need for the perfect stay. Spotlessly clean, warm and cosy. Ann, the owner, popped by to check on us and was a phone call away if we needed anything. Perfectly placed in a quiet location to explore North Wales. Local amenities in Bala were excellent and a short drive away. Just the best week!

Lovely cottage, beautifully furnished and very cosy. We had a warm welcome from Ann and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A very peaceful and quiet location, but within easy reach of several different activities . We would recommend very highly and will definitely be coming back.

A great property in a lovely location. Great for the dog too as it has stone or wood floors throughout so no concerns about keeping carpets clean after a walk in what was for us wet and muddy conditions, also the enclosed garden meant the dog could freely wander around outside without any fear of her wandering off. Good facilities and not far from Read morethe nearest town of Bala from everyday essentials. Hide

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting very short distance to Bala with ample restaurants/takeaways & shops. Surrounding areas are beautiful & Lake Vyrnwy is an absolute must as is Barmouth & Llangollen. The owner is so lovely & we cant wait to return to this stunning part of North Wales & stay here again.

Accommodation was very spacious, we didn't even use the lower lounge, & clean. Dog friendly, able to walk in fields surrounding the property on a lead as there were sheep about. 5 miles outside Bala itself so be prepared to drive to nearest pub, eateries. North Wales is a mecca for motorcycles so weekends are especially busy along road just down frRead moreom Accommodation but, being a motorcyclists myself, it wasn't an issue. Host, Ann, extremely helpful & Friendly. Hide

A spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable cottage with walks from the door (1:25000 map needed as few paths are waymarked though there are stiles/gates). Owner, who was not intrusive, was a delight to talk to and a mine of information about the local area. We had a wonderful week of walks with very little driving.

Hi Ann, Thank you for your hospitality, it was exactly what we needed during our difficult time. It removed any stress that we may have had regarding our accommodation. The cottage was great and was a perfect place for us to relax and take our mind off other matters. Greatly appreciated.
