Property code: OC-82768

This cosy two-bedroom cottage is perfect for any family, complete with a generous allocation of outdoor space, warm and inviting interiors and plenty of adventure within effortless reach. Whether you’re hoping to embrace an adrenaline-seeking adventure or take it easy with trips to local beauty spots, the location of this accommodation couldn’t be better. Your jumping-off point will likely be the town of Bala (5 miles), a gateway town to Snowdonia National Park and the home of Wales’ largest natural lake (6 miles). Here you can follow biking or walking routes around the lake, try your hand at wild swimming, rent a kayak or even catch fish for your dinner that evening. In the opposite direction, Corwen (6.5 miles) is a picturesque town with some pretty walking routes passing through; follow the Clwydian Way or the North Berwyn Way for as long as you fancy.

This handsome barn conversion offers a cheerful space to spend your time. Authentic stable doors, quality wooden beams and locally sourced slate flooring add to the character of the place. On the ground floor, you’ll find a welcoming kitchen/diner with a wooden dining table and comfy seating arranged around a TV. A couple of steps down leads into a lounge that’s spacious yet cosy. Equipped with cushy seating, a coal effect electric fire, a TV/DVD and plenty of children’s toys, this spot will always feel welcome after a long day of activities. Follow a solid oak staircase up onto the first floor. Two bedrooms sit alongside a shared bathroom with a skylight and modern fittings. You’ll need to descend a few steps down into the first of the two bedrooms, a generously proportioned double with antique furniture, gorgeous beams and an en-suite shower room. Next door is a twin bedroom that’s nestled under the eaves with further beams throughout.

The private, enclosed garden features a lawn and patio area. Here you’ll find a bistro set and BBQ for making the most of warm summer evenings.

Highly recommend this beautiful property, we had the most amazing time here and didnt want to come home (we were there a week). The cottage is just lovely, it was inviting and warm and had everything we needed for our stay, it was immaculately clean, well equipped, there was a smart tv perfect for the cosy evenings and very comfortable bedrooms. WeRead more really enjoyed the large enclosed garden my dog absolutely loved this and the view was breathtaking. We enjoyed sitting out in the morning and having a coffee looking out to the view, the wildlife is amazing and if whether is better there is a BBQ. The location was only a short drive to Bala where there is the lake and lots of amenities, it was wonderful to be situated in a rural setting and so peaceful but there is also so much to do and all within an hour.. we need another week to further explore. I would highly recommend the Bala Lake, Bala railway, we did climb snowdon but be aware if you are taking a dog they arent allowed on the railway or cafe at snowdon. (Overall we found the other locations we visited to be very pet friendly). We also visited Conwy, Llangollen and betwys-y-coed - I highly recommend them all - absolutely beautiful places. I also want to add that the owner Ann was a really lovely lady so welcoming and friendly. We just had the best time, thank you so much! Hide

The cottage was just beautiful with everything you need for the perfect stay. Spotlessly clean, warm and cosy.

A great property in a lovely location. Great for the dog too as it has stone or wood floors throughout so no concerns about keeping carpets clean after a walk in what was for us wet and muddy conditions, also the enclosed garden meant the dog could freely wander around outside without any fear of her wandering off. Good facilities and not far from Read morethe nearest town of Bala from everyday essentials. Hide
