  • "Arenig cottage was a perfect choice to explore North Wales."

    On arrival, the cottage sits high on a steep driveway looking into the stunning views among the hills. The cottage itself has been converted and has a nice layout and homely feel to it. The 3 cosy bedrooms were well equipped, very clean and comfortable. The kitchen, down a few steps from the hallway, had pretty much all the equipment you need for cooking with ample fridge/ freezer room, a modern oven and other appliances. The living room, a few stairs up from the hallway, was very cosy with a large sofa and chair, a large modern TV and a little balcony overlooking the beautiful views. A couple of things to improve - general maintenance on light fittings in the kitchen and also replacing the bath panel that has a crack in it would make the cottage even more perfect. The hosts, albeit new to owning Cyffdy cottages, were very friendly and welcoming, offered help if we needed it and left a lovely, Welsh welcome pack for our arrival. Overall, our stay was exactly what we needed for 4 nights. It was a really lovely cottage and a great size for us as a couple with a baby. We would definitely look to stay here again.

For a picturesque, fun-filled holiday with your family, this superbly located cottage provides the ideal accommodation to be enjoyed all-year-round.

Cyffdy Cottages

A group of three beautifully refurbished, stone-built cottages set overlooking the astonishing scenery of the Snowdonia National Park, three miles from the charming market town of Bala. All three properties combine traditional features such as exposed stonework and wooden beams, with contemporary interior features to create a homely, relaxing spot to base your North Wales getaway. It is a fine location for all things outdoors, with the excellent facilities of Bala Lake a short trip away. The area abounds in elite walking paths and trails, including Aran nearby. The living areas are wonderfully welcoming, and after an exhausting day of exploring the area, curl up on the modern sofa under a blanket and watch the TV with the fire ablaze. Prepare and enjoy each mealtime together in the charming kitchen/diner, providing all of the necessary equipment and rustic wooden dining furniture. Indulge in your awe-inspiring setting by taking a seat in one of the many garden areas here at Cyffdy, enjoy a refreshing drink and a good book with the astonishing scenery to be admired. Bala has something to suit every taste, this market town offers a fantastic range of places to shop, eat and drink, a golf course, plus plenty of walking and cycling routes. Bala Lake is unmissable for water sports enthusiasts, as well as boasting opportunities for boating. If a day by the sea is what you desire, the North Wales coast is slightly further afield, is showcases some incredible scenery as well as magnificent castles and much to see and do. A trio of thoughtfully decorated cottages in a wonderful North Wales location.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.
