Hen Dy Craig Yr Ronwy

This cottage is beautiful and well thought out for large family groups .

The views are lovely and not far from Bala itself . The walks we had were lovely with our dogs they loved it too. We took our Grandchildren to experience the White Water Rafting which was about 10 mins from there . The hot tub was used by our girls so all in all a lovely family bonding trip in a lovely cottage .

The first thing that you are greeted with is the stunning views.

The cottage is beautiful and had everything required for a great stay. The hot tub had the best views towards the lake. The cottage is a great base to explore North Wales and the welcome basket from the owners was a lovely touch. The only negative I would have to say is that one of the bedrooms had an uncomfortable mattress. Thank you for a beautiful stay! :)

We had a wonderful family weekend at Hen Dy Craig.

The photos don't do the setting justice - the views are stunning, particularly from the hot tub! There was plenty of space for the 6 of us and the property was well equipped including down to the toiletries provided. Our only small note for improvement was that some of the beds were quite creaky and some of the mattresses rather hard but otherwise it was a great property!

Lack of communication for directions hot tub was not clean

Stayed at this lovely cottage with my family.

8 in total and plenty of room for us all. Views are stunning and local area is beautiful. The cottage is large and welcoming with all modern amenities. The hot tub was a fantastic addition and well used by us all. The log burners made a very cosy atmosphere when settling down in the evenings. The two amazingly large king size rooms had very comfortable beds, however the smaller double room beds were comfortable but very noisy when turning over ,disrupting sleep. If these were replaced then you will struggle to find a better property for an amazing holiday in wales.

Perfect cottage in beautiful location.

Spotless on arrival and had everything we could have needed. Hot tub was hot on arrival and welcome pack was lovely. Log fire was great after hot tub watching the shooting stars. Can't fault the cottage and the owners, we even extended our stay while we were there because we didnt want to leave. I would have extended further, but it was booked

Fantastic week, the couch was a little hard on back however blended with enviroment.

Center house, top right corner, river facing the left side plug doesn't work. Had a power cut and was in dark however owner's were great once I got through to them. (Keith) The emergancy contact list/ call out needs to be updated, to mitigate any wasted time!! Loved the place overall, being my 3rd time and already booked Feb half term 2027!! Thanks JGH

Superb holiday cottage in remote location with spectacular views over the lake.

Accommodation was top dollar and the bedrooms awesome. Family of 6 adults celebrated two birthdays and a dog fitted well in and the snow didn’t hamper in anyway. Hot tub was amazing and all enjoyed it. Be careful though not to follow Sat Nav postcode as it takes you up another path which caught out my daughter. Overall a fantastic weekend. Thanks to all the team who made it possible. We did leave a note in the guest book and thanks for the welcome box too. 5 *. Poults from Ellesmere Port.

We love this house, it's the third time we've been back and we will absolutely look to book again, it's just perfect!

The owners are wonderful and accommodating, helping us move our original dates when work conflicted with our plans (a massive thank you to them for this!) The house is peaceful, warm and welcoming, and everything you could want for a week away in Wales. We even managed to get some of our family to stay with us this year, and they all loved it too. We actually eloped whilst we were away and the house was the perfect place for us to get ready and then come back home to after. Thank you for providing the perfect base camp for amazing walks, views and the most comfortable place to call home for a week.

A clean and comfortable house in a great location to explore North Wales.

Beautiful views across the lake from the house and the hot tub. The house is perfect for two families as the layout of the building puts two bedrooms with their own bathroom at each end of the building, accessed by their own staircase. Great welcome package on arrival too, appreciated by young and old!

The property was in great condition, the owners left easy to follow instructions for the hot tub and bin system which was greatly appreciated.

Facilities were comfortable and had everything that we needed. We had a great few days!

Just back from a lovely stay!

We had a great time, despite the weather! The cottage is beautiful with stunning views. Plenty of room for all of us and decorated tastefully. Highlights…hot tub, the mattresses (would love to know the make of these!) the bedding was super soft (would love to know the make of these too!). Great location as close to National white water centre, Mount Snowdon, Zip world, and the pretty town Betws y Coed all of which we visited during our 4 night stay. Would definitely return!

The property was amazing in a beautiful location, very comfortable, well appointed and very clean - we wanted for nothing.

The welcome basket was very much appreciated. It was lovely to relax in the hot tub enjoying the beautiful view across Llyn Celyn and the surrounding area. We hope to return.

Wow!

What a beautiful place! Location fab views were incredible so peaceful! Property was clean and comfortable and layout was perfect for two families sharing. White water rafting centre just short driveway full of activities and town nearby was everything you need. Had an amazing meal out in Bala We will be returning

This was a really lovely property with everything you could possibly need and more.

We loved the welcome pack too which was really appreciated! The hot tub after a long days walking was fantastic. It was an awesome place to stay! We loved this holiday and would definitely return. **********END OF MY REVIEW********* ** Please do not include the following in any review being posted: Small things for property owner that could have been improved: 1) The bath towels were way too small and did not even cover your modesty when wrapped around you. Bigger towels are definitely needed! 2) The two upstairs bathrooms struggled to drain water away when using sink / shower. We did report this whilst we were there, but it didn’t really improve during our stay. 3) The bedroom door with steps down to the hot tub could not be used properly as the handle kept falling off on the inside. The bottom of the door had to be pushed from the outside to be shut properly. 4) The lighting in the bathroom above the kitchen was not bright enough. Higher wattage bulbs were definitely required. 5) Some sort of shelter for bike storage would have been brilliant. Our bikes were left outside the property.

We had the most amazing week.

The house is beautiful, comfortable and well appointed - we needed for nothing! The welcome pack was much appreciated. As a family of five plus two extra teens and a dog, the layout was ideal and gave our guests plenty of privacy. The location is the real beauty of this house; Bala is a wonderful town of an independent shops and eateries, and the rugged landscape of Snowdonia is deceptively close. We hope to return :)

Our stay was perfect, from the house to the location.

We will most definitely be returning.

Beautiful cottage and surroundings , first time in Wales and we all loved it , perfect location will definitely be booking again

This was our 2nd time staying, we love the location, and the home from home feeling.

The attention to detail makes all the difference, the care and attention that has not just gone into the property, but each stay, we will be back!

Overall we had a fabulous stay There were 6 adults, we cooked in the kitchen and ate there most nights, it was well equipped.

The Hot tub was a great feature and was well used. Few niggles bits - The driveway up was a bit treacherous for smaller cars. Cobwebs in the fire place. Balloons left under table and bed from previous guests. Water pressure doesn't support more than 1 shower at a time which is difficult with 6 people! Thenkitchen bin was disgustingly filthy, we had to wash it out! The kitchen windows were dirty inside and out which spoiled the magnificent view. Overall cleanliness was good but attention to detail is needed. The location is ideal for visiting the area. We would not hesitate to come back but would expect the small things to be addressed for a perfect stay.

We had an amazing time time .

The house is beautifully decorated to the highest standard possible. Everything you need is there for your comfort and convenience. The owners are lovely and also Dave who lives nearby is always at hand if you need anything the maintenance man . All the details are in the welcome book if needed and on arrival you get a beautifully creative hamper full of snacks ,wine and we had also Christmas items in it . I used to live in this house as a child and lm fascinated with all the hard work that’s gone in to this house . The hot tub is amazing outside kept clean to the highest standard. We will definitely be back again with our two dogs .

Outstanding property, with amazing views of Llyn Celyn.

There was nothing that the owners hadn't thought of/provided for us - including the lovely welcome basket. Our party took both a cat and dog, which we find not everyone allows but they enjoyed as much as us. Even the maintenance guy Dave needs a shout out. Would recommend this property, and we enjoyed it so much so, that half way through our stay we re-booked for the same dates next year.

This was our second stay and just like the first time last year it was wonderful being at the cottage.

It's clean, equipped with everything you could need, the hot tub is amazing with incredible views, and it's a warm and very comfortable place to spend a week. The welcome basket plus the card from the owners was a really lovely extra touch and very appreciated. This is a great value property and especially great for dogs, I couldn't recommend this place enough. We will no doubt be booking again for next year! :)

Stunning property in a stunning location.

Exceeded all expectations. We would love to return. A big thank you to the housekeepers and the owner for making it all so special.

Our holiday at Hen Dy Craig Yr Ronwy near Bala was lovely in every way peace and quite after busy days were some of us played golf and some of us sight seeing, the hot tub was just the ticket after a game of golf.

We all like being away from the Madding crowds. If there were any down side it would be Just one of the beds was a bit squeaky, but other than that there was nothing to moan about. Would Love to go back .

The setting of where this cottage is situated, breathtaking.

Stunning views in virtually every direction. The cottage itself is beautiful, it had everything. The contact that I had with Dave when I queried something was very quick, very direct and very helpful. Without a doubt the best hot tub views I have ever had. The only negative I would have to say is that there was a few cobwebs about the place, in the main bedroom we were staying in they were all over the wall however this didn't bother us, just thought I'd mention it. We are already talking about returning with more family members to experience this place as a group! Thank you for a beautiful stay!

Such a beautiful property and better than we had expected.

The house was so clean and smelt amazing as we walked in. So many little extras and very well thought out touches. Very impressed by the sanitary products available if needed. We would say the bath towels were far too small and we ended up having to use the large sheets we had brought for the hot tub. There was also a lack of glasses, plenty of wine glasses but not enough for a long drink really, nothing major just a small point. We would also recommend that people take bug spray for when in the hot tub on summer nights. We went and bought some citronella candles to help as we did get quite a few bites. We had a fabulous week thank you.

Beautiful house.

Lovely setting. Great internet and tv. Some issues. One of the double beds had not had the bedding changed. Broken window opener Another bed had the springs sticking in my daughter. Settees in lounge tatty and worn out hence uncomfortable Dog barked constantly from 2:00 every night Oven dirty and some of the oven trays etc not fit for use and want throwing out

Our stay at the charming cottage in Wales was nothing short of perfect.

The location is surrounded by picturesque landscapes and stunning views. The cottage itself is beautifully maintained, the interiors are tastefully decorated, combining modern comforts with rustic charm. The rooms are spacious and clean, with comfortable beds that ensure a restful night's sleep. The well-equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare meals, and the living area, was a great spot to relax in the evenings.

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage.

Beautiful views. I would like to mention a couple of things. Firstly there are no signs on the gates to the property, which would help as it wasn't easy to find. Also the dishwasher hadn't been cleaned inside and there were the remains of food in there. We loved the cottage, garden (which was fenced and so safe for my grandson and our dogs) and the location. We visited a lot of places including a small family run garden called Caerau Gardens, Cafe and adventure playground which is in Sarnau, Nr. Bala. Well worth a visit. We would definitely want to return to this cottage again. Thank you

I have stayed in many cottages in Wales this comes out top cleanliness comfort decor absolutely stunning.

The cottage was beautiful and we felt so relaxed there,it was fascinating to see how much work the owners had put into it from a derelict building.

I enjoyed the beautiful view from the kitchen whilst having my morning coffee, and it is central to other places to visit. We were also left a welcome gift. The hot tub was great except I have booked places where they are cleaned and treated every day and it was getting grubby. Also the farm dogs barked in early hours which woke us. Other than that it was a superb break highly recommended and would definitely book again.

Beautiful location and tranquil, Not many walking paths around the location but a lot within a short drive, and probably the reason the location remained quiet throughout the whole stay which was lovely Had read previous reviews about the local farm dogs barking, they rarely barked throughout our whole stay (just when we went past), and even then, it wasn't disruptive at all!

So definitely don't let this put you off prior to booking! Lots of extra little bits such as games, air beds, etc, we didn't make use but nice to have the option The fencing around the property was mostly perfect but wouldn't leave the dogs outside unattended just incase as some parts weren't very high, more suited to smaller dogs, but that didn't effect the stay, and did make the views nicer. All in all, couldn't have asked for a better property!

What a wonderful stay!

From the moment we opened the door to a lovely welcome pack and a warm & clean cottage with amazing views. Somuch space...from the Whiskey snug to a big open lounge and a lovely kitchen diner. We spent the days in Snowdonia outdoor swimming and the evenings cooking, eating, enjoying the evening views and playing games - TV with Netflix etc in lounge but we never switched it on! The bedrooms are all spacious and two big shared bathrooms and an extra downstairs shower off the utility room which has an amazing floor (I won't spoil the surprise!) All beautifully decorated and even toiletries supplied in case you forget to bring. Our week was so full that we only managed to use the hot tub once - great fun, particularly the lighting! The cottage is in a great location for travelling around Snowdonia - if you take the road left out of the cottage it takes you to the Blaenau Ffestiniog, Beddgelert (50 mins) or the coast. Some stunning drives. If you turn left out of the cottage you can drive to Bala Lake or round to Betws-y-Coed and Capel Curig & Snowdon. For lake swimming the cottage was in a great location - we managed Llynau Mymbyr, Llyn Geririonydd, Llyn Gwynant, Llyn Dinas, Llyn Mwyngil and Llyn Padarn suring our week - The utility room at the house was great for washing & drying our swimming gear everyday. Thanks for a wonderful stay. Just a tiny recommendation - the Sat Nav address covers a few properties and initially took us to the first house after the bend. Might be good to mention the house is third turn on the right if coming from Bala opposite the public parking site on the road about 800m after the bend.

Lovely cosy house to stay.

We staying in February and it was very warm in the house. The hot tub was a real treat with fantastic views from it. The house had 2 separate staircases to 2 of the bedrooms on each side of the house. That suited us well but might not with families with children. The floors downstairs were all stone and lots of internal steps (as advertised in the description) but just to be aware that might not suit a family with a toddler, as hard floors and lots of steps. Also beams and oddly positioned ceiling lights meant the taller people in our party were constantly hitting their heads! But would recommend as a lovely place to stay for a walking holiday.

The property is beautiful and very well renovated.

Brilliantly equipped, with pretty much everything you could think of, plus lots of lovely little extras, which is a lovely touch by the owners. Cleaned to a good standard upon arrival. There were just a couple if things which we found would have personally benefited us. A wardrobe in all 4 bedrooms not just 2 of them A mirror in all 4 bedrooms not just 1 of them. A long mirror somewhere in the house. Plus a small bin in each bedroom would have made things easier for us too. Despite the chandeliers being beautiful, they were quite literally a pain, because the ceilings are already quite low (which of course we expect in a period property), but 2 of our party kept banging their heads on the chandeliers which hang very low from the already low ceilings. For the most part it was peaceful, but there are 2 dogs in cages near to the house who barked on and off throughout the day which was fine, but they barked for longer periods of time and, what seemed to be, louder throughout the night, disturbing everyone's sleep. It would have been good to have known before booking that to go anywhere, even for a walk from the property, you need to jump in the car first, as there is no footpaths or walking routes from the property. Everything needs to be driven to first, then go on beautiful walks in this stunning part of the world. The owners were very helpful when helping us to resolve a problem with the hottub, the gentleman had a lovely relaxed and patient manner on the phone whilst he talked us through what to do to fix the issue. The maintenance man who the owners sent round to look at the hottub the next day, was lovely! He was polite and nothing seemed to be a hassle. The views are fantastic, even outstanding, from this property. The closed off garden is a super touch, especially because we knew our little whoof had a safe place to run and play. The beds are supper comfortable and the equipment provided is of a high standard and the views are out of this world, so for these reasons we would return. Thank you for a much needed break from the rat race.

Hen Dy Craig Yr Ronwy was absolutely wonderful in every way!

Loved the split kitchen/dinning room, great to cook and still chat with rest of party at the same time. Fantastic views from the kitchen patio doors looking down over Lynn Tryweryn, and good keep a eye on the dog in the fully enclosed garden - brilliant! Bedrooms cosy, the snug was a great place to secure the dog overnight for sleeping. Log burner in large living room was fabulous! Loved everything about the house, in one word PERFECT!

This a a lovely cottage, well equipped, clean, spacious and full of character.

We really enjoyed our stay. Amazing views from the hot tub which we enjoyed. Very thoughtful welcome gifts on arrival. Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the cottage was beautiful and suited our needs - lovely and cosy with comfy beds and amazing views.

Beautifully decorated and very clean! Loads to do in the area and we didn’t struggle to fill our days! No complaints but our only feedback would be that we would have liked more storage in the bedrooms - our son had very little in his room so used a tv cabinet and one room had a wardrobe we couldn’t open so my sister in law had to live out of a suitcase for the week. Not a huge problem and didn’t spoil our stay. Additionally we weren’t aware there would be an electric car charger available (unless we missed it somewhere) - we came in our petrol car as we were concerned we’d struggle to charge the electric car!

We had a fabulous stay at the cottage which is in a great location and easy to access amenities in Bala.

The cottage was very clean, well maintained and beautiful inside and outside. The hot tub made it a great family holiday for all which included grandparents and children as well as a dog. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. The only downside, which is not a fault of the owners is the working dogs who are housed next door and woke everyone up 3 days out of 7 at around 5am with their barking. However that didn't spoil what was a great family holiday in a fantastic cottage and in fact allowed us to see 2 spectacular sunrises which we would have otherwise missed.

Our stay at the cottage was truly amazing!

You've done an excellent job in making it a perfect holiday retreat. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that you've thought of everything we might need. The attention to detail was outstanding, and the cottage was equipped with all the essentials and more. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you for making our holiday unforgettable!

The location was perfect, the cottage was clean, tidy and had m decor features.

The view was stunning, the beds were comfy and the facilties were home from home. My only negative would be the close by sheep dog kennel to the side of the cottage . The dogs barked regular through the night and this was quite loud even with the windows shut ! Which disturbed us all. Im glad we didnt need to open them as the weather was quite cool but this could be an issue for some families or light sleepers.

Very pleased with our short holidays.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful settings. Thank you very much.

What a delightful cottage, amazing views, super super clean, great amenities, little touches made all the differences.

Great credit to the owners. Would recommend to all. Good job guys
