“Lovely location - beautiful countryside lots of walking routes about.”

No village shop but not a problem as knew beforehand and went prepared. Riverside location lovely rural views - sheep, pheasants, red kite, squirrels etc. Accomodation is small, but again knew beforehand so not a problem. Well equipped kitchen, cd player, tv, wifi access. Close to Lake Vrynwy and Lake Bala.

“Lovely little chalet.”

Everything you need in there. Stunning views. Local pub is really near, 5 min walk. Chilled out week with my dog. Two beautiful lakes close by so worth a visit.

“If you're looking for a romantic break or just want to leave all your worries behind you for a while, this is the place to go.”

I can't recommend it enough. The accommodation was clean and everything you would need is provided, just take your food and you're sorted. The location is one of the most beautiful places I've been to, very picturesque and tranquil, a perfect escape and lots to see and do.

Pity you could not get to river no access from property, the dog would have loved it , and if fussy would of liked bath towels, otherwise a great property and location for visiting lots of places within 30mins,

“Location lovely & accurate description of that.”

Owner done great job of making the garden secure for pets. Plenty of hot water which was good, & everything worked. However that is where the positive ends. The chalet is by no stretch of the imagination stylish & contemporary as you describe. The bedroom & bathroom are so small & cramped that you could not dress/undress in them. Ample crockery / cutlery etc but the kitchen cupboards needed sorting & at least one emptying to allow room to put your own self catering stuff. We had boxes on the floor, which in a small place is not ideal. Lounge area seating not good - one of the 2 chairs looked broken underneath so a good job they were close together so it didn't tip over. Just no degree of comfort at all inside & as the level of cleanliness very mediocre the overall feel was grubby. But all this has been passed on to your Customer Care team & we are awaiting feedback as we returned home after only 1 night. Still waiting for that! The reason we didn't contact either you or the owner before returning is that nothing could have been done to rectify the main problem which was down to lack of space & comfort. We expected small (we are small at home) but that for us was not acceptable. I think your description of the chalet should include dimensions so people are aware of what to expect

“We spent 3 nights at Rivers Nook and enjoyed every minute!”

Lovely chalet in beautiful surroundings. The New Inn pub is a 5 minute walk away , serving good ale and tasty food..We had our dog with us and both the chalet and the pub are dog friendly..I have no hesitation in recommending Rivers Nook..

“What a fabulous place it was everything we expected and more.”

The garden area being secure was very good for our small dog. The view and the sound of rivers water running by will never be forgotten “stunning” We will be booking again.

“Amazing location!”

So cozy and has everything you need. The view is magnificent and even better than the pictures. There is an enclosed garden and there is fencing so it was completely safe to let our dog out without worrying (unless your dog is used to jumping high, then you may need a longline as there are lots of birds and sheep with lambs nearby). He settled in straight away and really enjoyed the place too. There are two nice pubs 5 minutes walk away, and the people were so friendly and accommodating, which we appreciate when our cocker spaniel was a little excited by his new surroundings. I recommend the Red Ale in the New Inn! There is a lovely walking trail, through the Berwyn mountains just a little further up from the New Inn if you like, but the place is perfect just to relax as well. A nice drive out to Lake Vrnwy provides more beautiful views and the pheasants pottering about the place were lovely to watch. The local shop was a bit of a drive out through to another village if you are self catering, just as an FYI. We will definitely be back!

“Perfect couples get away (with doggy too!)”

Just returned from a week at River's Nook - cannot recommend it highly enough. An escape from the day to day, perfect peaceful location and fabulous facilities! The cabin itself was spotless, well equipped and maintained. Ideal as well for us as we had our dog with us, and he settled in straight away too, and benefitted from a little garden at the side of the cabin which was totally enclosed. Free wifi, freeview television and an assortment of dvds, book, games - plus tea and coffee (even had some fresh milk left in the fridge for us, for our welcome). Lovely sitting out area with a fabulous view, which you still got the benefit when we came in at night when it got chilly due to the fabulous windows of the cabin. We really do hope to return and can't recommend highly enough.

“We have just returned having spent a week at River's Nook.”

What a lovely place! A warm welcome from Kevin the owner, including a quick phone call beforehand to check we had directions. The facilities of the cabin were fabulous, couldn't have wanted anything more! Little things like free tea and coffee, and even some fresh milk in the fridge for us to set us up for our arrival. We settled in straight away and what a bonus it was to have a little garden at the side of the cabin and all enclosed - perfect for us as we had our dog with us. The setting is bliss - babbling river, private outlook and all sorts of animals in the field across. The accommodation was spotless, had lots of information about the cabin itself and the surrounding areas. We would highly recommend and would love to return in the future!

“A nice little chalet in a lovely little village.”

Great food in the Tanat valley inn (highly recommended). Could benefit from some new cookware but we ate out so it didn't bother us. Owner Response: thank you for your comments. We will check on the cookware to see what needs replacing and have left a message for you asking for more information. We are glad you enjoyed your stay overall.

About the location

LLANGYNOG

Bala 13 miles.

The pleasant village of Llangynog lies in breathtaking countryside amidst the beautiful Berwyn Mountains and surrounding wooded hills and valleys. The area has a history of lead, silver and slate mining dating back to the 17th Century but today it is a renowned location for climbing, birdwatching, walking and cycling, with famous mountain bike trails near Dolgellau, and a mountain bike centre at Llandegla. Llangynog boasts two pubs, both of which serve good food and are perfect to relax in after an exciting day out, plus on the outskirts of the village is a down hill mountain bike centre. There is also an off road motorbike experience, which is set on a 1500 acre site further up the valley which needs to be booked in advance. Enjoy Lake Bala, a wonderful beauty spot, with excellent fishing, a variety of water sports including white water rafting and a lakeside steam railway, or visit Lake Vyrnwy, which has an RSPB centre, bike hire and a sculpture park. Also within easy reach is Llanrhaeadr Waterfall, the tallest single drop waterfall in England and Wales. This is a beautiful part of the country and is perfect for touring the rest of North and Mid Wales and even Shropshire.
