Here you will find Llyn Tegid, the Welsh name for Bala Lake, which is the largest natural lake in Wales. To the west lies the pretty village of Betws-y-Coed, the Gateway to Snowdonia. There are more outdoor shops here than you can shake a stick at, plus the amazing Zip World Fforest where you can experience several different adrenaline experiences, including the exciting Fforest Coaster and the ever-so-slightly-terrifying Plummet!

Here you will find horse drawn boats on the Llangollen Canal, whilst a short distance further is Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, one of the Seven Wonders of Wales, which carries the canal over the valley. Shop, pub and restaurant 3 miles.

Perfect cottage stay. 5 adults and 2 dogs! Lovely location central to visit many places North Wales. The cottage was absolutely spotless. It has everything you need, home from home. The hot tub is a lovely bonus used most nights. Enclosed garden area for the dogs. The Rhug estate is 10-15 min drive for a nice breakfast and super fast EV charging. We had dinner at The Grouse Inn, Carrog one night which is 20 minutes away, ish, lovely food and amazing views. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you.

A few things to enhance stay.1. Rotary Line needs to be within slated area by Hot Tub.2. Hot Tub would be great if surrounded by sheltered construction, which would enable use during any weather conditions.3. More solar lights required around Hot Tub Area/poor lighting from existing lights in place.4. Hooks on back of doors in bedroom/bathrooms.5. Welcome book, needs updating with Wifi no.6.Switches to Oven/Microwave needs labelling.These are suggestions for owners, we had a lovely stay, beautiful setting and peace and quiet.
