  • "Cottage was lovely, secluded even though it's amongst others as its positioned at the top away from the others."

    The donkeys over the front fence and cows and sheep over the back are lovely think the donkeys where my children's favourite part about the whole week. The cottage has everything you could need and the beds very comfy. The garden is fully enclosed which as great for the dog although could do with some tending a little overgrown in places meaning we had to pick sticky balls out of her fur everytime she came back in and also although we pack everything for our dog much like we do the kids there was nothing else to indicate "dog friendly" no bowls, spare towels, throws, garden was all stones not ideal for poop picking etc . Could do with some instructions on the heating aswell as nothing in the folders and as it rained all week it got a little chilly. This could be something very special with a little bit of TLC I know they've just been taken over so hopefully when the new owners find there feet they will Inject that spark.

With a homely interior and its close proximity to the wonderful facilities of Bala and the Snowdonia National Park, this cottage can act as a warming base for an active break, or a cosy getaway for you and your family or friends.
