Bala Cottages
Immerse yourselves in rural Wales with a stay at a Bala holiday
cottage in the Snowdonia National Park, an Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty.
Blessed with a striking natural backdrop, the small, historic
town of Bala offers excellent amenities for visitors, with a
selection of shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, cinema and
leisure centre.
As you wander around, you'll hear Welsh being spoken -
it's the first tongue of most locals and is one of Europe's
oldest languages. Learn more about Bala's culture and past at
the Heritage Centre, or join the Town Walk and delve back to Roman
times. Look out for male voice choirs too, world-renowned for their
dulcet tones.
Just a stone's throw away is Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake). The
biggest natural lake in Wales and home to a rare herring-like fish,
it's an absolute paradise for water sports - just aim for the
Bala Adventure and Water Sports Centre. Another option is a trip to
the National Whitewater
Centre, where white-knuckle rafting is guaranteed! What else?
Wonderful walking, fly fishing on the Dee, off road safaris,
climbing and golf - the lakeside Tourist Office has all the latest
information.
Or admire the views at a gentler pace aboard Bala's narrow
gauge steam train, following the shores of the lake. Or head up the
mountains to Caerau Uchaf Gardens, offering flamboyant floral
displays and amazing panoramic views, plus an adventure playground
and café.
So, whether it's a quiet countryside retreat or an
action-packed family holiday, one of our Bala cottages may be your
perfect find!
