This property was more than we could have asked for. Perfect location, feels like you’re in your own little bubble. The house has everything you need, it is really well equipped. Would highly recommend and even considering visiting again!

This is a lovely cottage. We were a family group of 7 adults and it suited us really well. Plenty of kitchen stuff, a great hot tub, games room and outside space. Loads of room inside so we never got on top of each other. Only a short drive to Bala which has all the essential amenities. Note: if you plan to walk on footpaths from the cottage, be aware that the paths immediately adjacent are no longer passable.
