The shower was one of the best showers I've had, nice and powerful. The view on the decking/balcony are just gorgeous. Perfect for a chilled relaxing getaway. Beatrice was a wonderful lady giving us lots of information and her number incase we needed anything. Thank you and would definitely recommend.

During the night, the area was very dark and therefore the stargazing was impressive. The apartments have a short walk to Bala town where there are restaurants, pubs and shops. The apartment contained a large bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, all of which were very clean. Further to this, the balcony had two comfortable seats and a table which were perfect for relaxing and looking over the lake. We had views of the train which passes close to the apartment (only passes a few times a day and wonât honk unless you wave so therefore was not a disturbance). You can swim in Bala Lake as well as kayak, meaning that there are plenty of activities to get on with during your stay. The apartments are also not too far away from destinations such as Portmerion (45/50mins drive). The owner Beatrice gave us a lovely welcome and was also very helpful with any queries we had. On arrival we were supplied with milk in the fridge, as well as tea, coffee and sugar. This was by far one of the best apartments we have stayed in and would highly recommend.
