    “What a fantastic place!”

    Quite honestly, 10/10 or 5 stars just doesn’t seem enough for either the property or for Marie. We need a new rating system. Nothing was too much trouble, and Marie was so warm and welcoming from the second we opened the car door. We barely had time to get our feet on the ground before we felt completely at home. The view over the lake is breathtaking, the peace and quiet is wonderful, and as for the dark skies… wow. I genuinely don’t have the words, which is unusual for me! Bear in ...

    Quite honestly, 10/10 or 5 stars just doesn’t seem enough for either the property or for Marie. We need a new rating system. Nothing was too much trouble, and Marie was so warm and welcoming from the second we opened the car door. We barely had time to get our feet on the ground before we felt completely at home. The view over the lake is breathtaking, the peace and quiet is wonderful, and as for the dark skies… wow. I genuinely don’t have the words, which is unusual for me! Bear in mind that we stayed on 8th August, when the sky wasn’t even completely black, and it was still incredible. I can only imagine what it will be like a few weeks later. You may need to remind yourself to stop staring upwards and actually go to bed. If you’re thinking about visiting Wales, do yourself a favour and check this place out. You really won’t be disappointed. It’s brilliantly positioned for exploring the delights of North Wales, but still feels wonderfully peaceful and tucked away from everything. The nearby town of Bala has everything you could need, and the whole stay represents fantastic value for money. We absolutely loved it and would return without hesitation. Five stars from us — although if Marie could arrange a six-star button, we’d happily press it.

    - Andrew, August 2026

    Hello Andrew, Wow, thank you for such a wonderful review! Marie was delighted that she could make you feel right at home. We are glad you loved the lake views and our dark skies. We'll get working on that six-star button for your next visit! Kind regard, Beatrice Property Owner

About the location

BALA

Corwen 11 miles; Dolgellau 18 miles; Llangollen 22 miles; Betws-y-Coed 29 miles.

The bustling market town of Bala lies within the beautiful Snowdonia National Park and is located at the head of Llyn Tegid, Bala’s famous lake, which is the largest natural lake in Wales and home to a unique fish called the Gwyniad, a relic of the Ice Age. Renowned as a centre for great watersports including fishing, sailing, canoeing, windsurfing and whitewater rafting, Bala is also the headquarters of the narrow gauge Bala Lake Railway. The town itself is steeped in history and has a range of interesting shops, inns and restaurants, and an historical Town Walk. Surrounded by the wonderful Berwyn Mountains on one side and the beautiful Snowdonia Mountain Range on the other, this is a mecca for climbing, walking, mountain biking and many other outdoor activities. An ideal location for touring all of North and Mid Wales including the stunning Cambrian Bay Coast with the six-mile long Harlech Beach, overlooked by its majestic medieval castle. A truly wonderful part of Wales catering for all interests.
