The cottage had everything we needed for a great family stay in the area and we would not hesitate to return in the futureThe cottage is located within a very short drive to the town of Bala, with also many other lovely places to visit in the North Wales region. However, you can have a fantastic time just at the cottage by taking advantage of the hot tub and games room

The cottage provided everything we wanted. It was remote and very peaceful, but the games barn was a great facility for the boys to spend time together.We had a great time, even the rain couldn't dampen our enjoyment
