“From the moment we arrived, the cottage is wonderful.”

All facilities were of the highest standards from information to supply of washing up liquid. Its the small details that are the important ones. Looking forward to staying again. Many Thanks

We were surprised how close! We would definitely return!

- Miss Griffiths, July 2020
“Absolutely amazing cottage.”

Lovely and clean , just like the pictures. It was like home from home. Great spot straight off the main street and a short 2 minute walk to Bala lake. We could not recommend this cottage enough. You will not be disappointed.

- Mrs Morrison, February 2020
“Well equipped, excellent location, friendly locals.”

Accommodation is fabulous, dog friendly

- Miss Mcgriskin, December 2019
“This was a lovely accommodation, clean and tidy in a lovely location.”

We will probably re-visit.

- Mr Robbins, October 2019
“It was exactly as shown in the photos- so really pleased about that.”

The location is perfect for driving around Snowdonia National Park. Near to Co-Op too for supplies- and Bala Lake and railway a lovely local trip. We had a really enjoyable holiday. The downsides are difficulty in parking outside- had to use public Car Park across the road all the time. This is not cheap on a two week break.

- Mrs Puplett, September 2019
“We had a problem with the keysafe on arrival as it wasn't working.”

However a phone call to the owner and the issue was quickly resolved . This is the second time we have stayed at this cottage and I would certainly go again.

- Mrs Cliffen, August 2019
“The cleanliness of the holiday cottage was not good, many areas not clean.”

Multiple light bulbs not working. The shower did not drain correctly during use, due to waste not being cleaned. The sofa was not very comfortable.

- Mr Barrett, August 2019
“The location of the property was excellent being near to the centre of Bala but also fairly quiet.”

Co-op store very close for self-catering and lots of takeaways in easy reach (Chinese, Indian, Pizza, Fish & Chips) Less than 10 minute walk to the lake. Managed to park on streets nearby thus avoiding the car park charging. Snowdon less than 1 hour away. Nice walks directly for the property. Mawddach bike trail in nearby Dolgellau a nice easy 20 mile round trip. Beics Brenin a great mountain bike facility within 30 minutes.

- Mr Ardin, July 2019
“This was a beautiful holiday home, matching the pictures exactly.”

Very light, airy and spacious with all the home comforts. Perfectly situated for exploring the lake and town and then venturing further afield within the National Park. Check in and out was exceptionally easy. Very comfortable bed and a well equipped kitchen. An excellent short break - thank you!

- Miss Hoare, July 2019
“Great location for town and the lake.”

very comfortable cottage in a lovely complex

- Ms Jones, July 2019
“Great cottage, all the facilities you could want.”

Great walks on the doorstep, and shops/restaurants within 3 minute walk

- Mrs Conway, June 2019
“A superb cottage in top location for exploring all of Snowdonia.”

The property is stunning, spacious and a part of a beautifully converted building. The lake is 2 minutes away, perfect for dog walks and water sports. Coop is around the corner, 1 minute from the front door. Bala is a lovely town with everything you need, Plas yn Dre is a great restaurant and dog friendly too! White water rafting centre is nearby and a must do. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back and will recommend!

- Mr Ziembinska, May 2019
“A really great little place to use as a base while exploring the surrounding areas.”

The cottage warmed up surprisingly fast considering the high ceiling and was a very comfortable relaxing spot to chill out in the evenings with a DVD. Convenience store was literally one minute away so handy when toilet roll was needed.

- Mr Saxton, April 2019
“A great base for exploring the area.”

The location in the town is ideal and the parking options very convenient. Great if you have a dog. They can be let out to have a wander safely with the compound which is ideal.

- Mr Hawkes, April 2019
“The cottage was very comfortable and light and airy.”

It was also very clean and well maintained. The location was perfect for walking and generally exploring the local area. The local people were lovely as were the owners of the cottage itself. A really nice place to stay for a couple - everything you need for a cosy break away in North Wales.

- Mr Smith, March 2019

- Mrs Pearson, February 2019
“We had a lovely week close to all amenities if you walk across the car park there is a footpath that leads you straight onto Bala lake and a nice ice cream parlour and cafe at the end.”

Bison farm is ten minutes away it has a walk which you can follow showing the bison,turkeys,sheep and much more the cafe is a must.

- Mrs Warrington, February 2019
“Lovely cottage in an ideal spot near to Bala Lake.”

- Mrs Smith, September 2018
“Fantastic stay and location just round the corner from the high street!”

The only notes we have to improve and already brilliant stay would be a clean of the shower and a new non-stick frying pan! Would love to stay again and will definitely recommend to friends and family!

- Miss Williams, September 2018
