Welcoming one well-behaved pet and offering lovely views, this delightful retreat is perfect for families or groups of friends seeking a serene escape.
Upon entering Islwyn, you will be greeted by a spacious kitchen/diner, fully equipped to cater to all your culinary needs throughout your stay.
Here, you can gather at the dining table to enjoy home-cooked meals, share stories of the day's adventures, or plan the next day's activities.
The sitting room, with its inviting woodburning stove, offers a warm and welcoming space to unwind after a day of exploring the Eryri National Park.
Sink into the plush seating and lose yourself in a good book, or enjoy a family movie night on the TV.
When it's time to retire for the night, head upstairs to the two bedrooms a king-size and twin.
Each room is tastefully decorated, offering a tranquil haven for a rejuvenating night's sleep.
The bathroom, complete with a bath and an overhead shower, is the perfect place for a hot soak or steamy rinse after a day of outdoor activities.
Outside, the enclosed rear decking area, complete with furniture, provides a wonderful spot to enjoy your morning coffee or dine alfresco during the warmer months.
Venture out of your serene retreat to explore the surrounding attractions.
Immerse yourself in nature at Coed y Brenin Forest Park, where you can enjoy hiking amidst the greenery or biking over its many trails.
Opt for a leisurely, atmospheric ride aboard the Bala Lake Railway, taking in the stunning lakeside views.
This charming steam railway service offers two main stops: the Bala (Pen-y-Bont) Station, which is just a stone’s throw from the National White Water Centre, an adventurer’s delight offering thrilling water sports, and the Llangower Station, a scenic spot perfect for a picnic.
Of course, no trip would be complete without visiting the beautiful Bala Lake, where you can enjoy activities like sailing, windsurfing or simply enjoying the tranquil waters.
A holiday at Islwyn promises to be both a restful retreat and an adventure-filled break in the heart of the beautiful Eryri National Park.

What guests are saying
Lovely place to stay, we would love to go back!
The owner couldn't have been more helpful when we got there to find there was no water due to a leak in the area. There are only a couple of things that could have a little improvement. We found that there were lots of bugs over the windowsills which could have been cleaned up and dusted for our stay. Also the door on the bedroom with the double bed doesn't shut because it hasn't been cut to size. Aside from that, we would 100% return.
The cottage is lovely.
It will be beautiful when its finally completely finished. The only negative thing I could say is the cottage could be alot cleaner. The kitchen cupboards had leftover food still inside them, as did the freezer. I had to clean the kitchen before I could place any food away. The bed sheet on the double bed was washed and smelt clean, however, the bottom sheet was supposed to be white & it was very marked & stained. These are my reasons for the low 3* score on the cleaning rating. POSITIVELY The cottage its self is a very calm and relaxing place to be in. There is nothing you could want for. Its a definite home from home. Despite the few negative comments above... "we would definitely stay again" The cottage rating is a 4*
The Garden and Kitchen made this a wonderful relaxing holiday.
The rest of the house was smaller than expected but comfortable and clean. The Shower was not great for tall people and access on and off the main road was tricky as oncoming traffic was difficult to see
