  • John

    “Nice touch of providing milk and biscuits was very welcome after a long journey.”

    Very comfortable spaces, the beds in particular. Central location of the cottage and the accessible garage for motorcycle storage was great.

The property

Nestled in the heart of the charming market town of Bala rests this delightful stone-built cottage, Arosfa.

Set within the Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), a stone's throw away from the well known lake, Llyn Tegid, Arosfa is perfectly positioned for both families and friends alike looking to explore the delights of North Wales.

Stepping into the property, you're welcomed into a traditionally-decorated sitting room, beautifully-appointed with a warming woodburning stove tucked away inside an exposed stone feature wall, offering the idyllic setting to kick off your shoes and enjoy a spot of television after an action-packed day.

Continuing through the property, you'll be delighted by the open-plan kitchen/diner, providing a sociable space to enjoy a glass of wine with the designated chef as they prepare a heart-warming meal for the group to enjoy, serving at the grand table in the neighbouring dining room, or at the intimate setting of the breakfast bar for a romantic meal for two.

Stepping outside, enjoy a leisurely seat in the peaceful setting of the private garden, enveloped by greenery, or escape the excitement and nestle into an armchair in the snug conservatory for a moment of peace.

Climbing the stairs, prepare for bed with a leisurely soak amongst the bubbles in the bath, or if you prefer, enjoy a quick rinse, before retiring to one of the three thoughtfully laid out bedrooms, two super-king rooms and a twin, each featuring a delightful neutral décor, offering a calming setting to rest your eyes.

Head out of the door and into the heart of Bala, where you'll be spoilt for choice with the selection of eateries on your doorstep; with traditional country pubs, quaint cafes and delicious takeaways lining the high-street, there's something to suit everyone.

After satisfying your appetite, grab your wet suit and head to Llyn Tegid, commonly known as Bala Lake, to spend a fun-filled day on the remarkable stretch of water, where thrill seekers can partake in a session in windsurfing or powerboating with Bala Adventure & Watersports.

If you'd prefer to stay on land, lace up your walking boots and head off on foot to explore the scenic landscape of the Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), decorated with towering peaks, steep river gorges, green valleys and breath-taking waterfalls, boasting walking, cycling and hiking routes suitable for a range of different abilities.

Further afield is the charming Welsh village of Betws-y-Coed, home to Conwy Valley Railway Museum and Zip World Fforest, boasting a toboggan style roller coaster and a thrilling tree-top adventure course, promising a fantastic day out for all of the family.

Whether you're looking for adventure or a relaxing break, choose Arosfa as your base.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

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 Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) 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.
