    “Wow! This property was amazing.”

    Really spacious, clean, comfortable and a fabulous location for us with beautiful views if you love the green countryside. We went into Bala, a local little town and did the steam train which was lovely and then had fish and chips at the local chip shop there. It rained on the Saturday and we were all happy to stay in and play games, do a jigsaw and the men watched the football while my mother watched Frozen in the other living room. The rooms were all lovely and the facilities in the house ...

    Really spacious, clean, comfortable and a fabulous location for us with beautiful views if you love the green countryside. We went into Bala, a local little town and did the steam train which was lovely and then had fish and chips at the local chip shop there. It rained on the Saturday and we were all happy to stay in and play games, do a jigsaw and the men watched the football while my mother watched Frozen in the other living room. The rooms were all lovely and the facilities in the house were fantastic. The hot tub was a great hit even for my 80 year old mom. We will definitely go back again.

    Thank you for your lovely comments. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and in particular the hot tub! The house was immaculate when you left, thank you. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future, maybe another birthday celebration! 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.
