A beautiful and romantic couples hideaway in an idyllic village location perfect to relax, unwind and explore Snowdonia National Park, dramatic countryside, historic towns and pretty villages in North Wales. Nearby Bala boasts Wales's largest natural lake, narrow gauge railway, National White Water Centre and a range of restaurants and shops. Nearby Betws-y-Coed with historic bridges, waterfalls, river pools and hill top lakes, is also full of outdoor activity and craft shops, galleries and public houses. Enjoy walking, climbing, kayaking, sailing and fishing in breath-taking scenery. Visit historic towns of Ruthin and Denbigh, have a day trip to Barmouth for fabulous beaches or take the challenges of GYG karting, Snowdonia's Cader Idris, Surf Snowdonia and the Zip World Caverns. This really is an all year round destination.

The spacious and attractive barn has a welcoming lobby, with interesting art work and plenty of space for coats and boots, opening into the spacious open plan lounge/kitchen/diner flooded with natural light. Open the French doors, listen to the birdsong and step outside onto the patio area with wonderful views over the grounds and beyond. If you decide to eat in the well equipped kitchen area then you have everything you need to prepare a delicious romantic meal, with electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, Dolce Gusto coffee machine and washing machine, alongside many other little thoughtful extras creating a lovely space to cook in. Relax on the comfortable sofas, play board games, plan tomorrows activities and embrace the wonderful views. On chillier evenings, light the ready-laid wood burner and watch a good film or lose yourself in a good book. Along the corridor,  there is a comfortable double bedroom which leads to a stylish en-suite shower room one step down.

Up the private drive, past the owners home, the property nestles on the gravelled courtyard with superb countryside views. You can enjoy alfresco dining in the patio area with table, chairs, charcoal BBQ and pretty borders with lovely views. There are also a number of shared spaces to sit and relax in the nine acres of grounds. Maybe picnic by the standing stones or at the top of the garden near the trees. If you are bringing your bike there is lockable storage and an outside tap with hose available. Plenty of outside space for your canoe or kayak. The shared, spacious, vaulted ceiling games barn is also accessible from the courtyard and offers a wide range of fun activities to enjoy, including Free View with large wall projection, darts, table tennis, slate bed pool table and high quality hi-fi system. Ample private parking on site, within walking distance to the property. Please note that the path from the car parking area is quite steep.

The owners have also wilded seven acres of the grounds to make a small sanctuary for wildlife with the creation of a large natural lake, new copses and wildflower meadows. Guests are welcome to walk around the lake but swimming and fishing are prohibited, but a wander through the wildflower meadow on a summer's evening is a real nature lovers treat.

For a north wales holiday/getaway there is no better place. Cottage is situated near to all the link roads but it is totally quiet in its placement. Awesome views, nice grounds, modern appliances, comfort throughout. Gail and Jerry are on hand if needed and greeted us on arrival however do not interfere with too much which is a lovely balance. Hot Read moretub is a great added bonus to what is an already excellent property Hide

A superb property, stylish and comfortable, with lovely views, and in a location that made it ideal both for hiking and visiting various attractions, including Portmeirion and the coast. Whatever we were doing each day, it was lovely knowing we were coming back to somewhere so nice. The owners were very friendly and helpful, and went out of their wRead moreay to ensure we had all we wanted. We would not hesitate to go back. Hide

The accommodation was clean, comfortable and most importantly quiet and peaceful - beautiful setting, close to many lovely places a short drive away. The owners were very kind and helpful and provided excellent sight-seeing tips. We loved staying there and didn't want to leave. Highly recommended.
