The National White Water Centre is 5 miles from Bala too, so there’s no end of activities to enjoy. You are also within reasonable driving distance of Mount Snowdon (30 miles), or Cadair Idris (30 miles).

The well-designed single-level property is a treat for anybody hoping to stay in the Dee Valley. The spacious lounge has oak flooring and garden views through the patio doors. There is an electric flame-effect fire and a TV/DVD to unwind in front of at the end of a rewarding day of activity. The large kitchen and dining area leads to the adjoining conservatory. In the conservatory, you will find ample comfortable seating and a coffee table. The property has two bedrooms (both with TVs) – the first contains a king-size bed and an en-suite with dual access from the bedrooms. Inside it, you’ll find a bath, shower cubicle and WC.

We have stayed in many cottages and barn conversions but this bungalow is top of the list. Very comfortable and stylish interior, excellently equipped with beautiful views over the hills and valley. Quiet and peaceful location with easy access to the coast and countryside. Lovely owners who were nearby if needed. Would stay here again.

Had a fantastic stay at this amazing bungalow. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and on hand if anything is needed, whilst still respecting your privacy. The bungalow is the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in and deserves 5 stars. It is modern, comfortable and has everything you need with plenty of parking space. The viewsRead more from the bungalow are spectacular and was so nice to sit at the kitchen table looking out across the beautiful valley whilst eating breakfast each morning. We already miss it. The bungalow is only a 2 minute drive from the town of Bala. You can walk to it from the bungalow but the first section is down a busy road without no pavement. Would recommend parking down by the lake on the road for free (the bottom end of the lake) and walk into town instead of having to pay in the public pay and display car park. Would highly recommend this accommodation if you want a peaceful, relaxing and comfortable holiday. We can't wait to go back. Hide

As per other reviews it proved to be an excellent property, very well equipped and in a great location for exploring. So it's difficult to add much to what has been said before in praise of the house and we would definitely return. Our time there was split only by the weather as it was very wet and windy most days but it was December! And the houseRead more was always warm to return to. We had been wary of having underfloor heating in that would it be warm enough but it certainly was in spite of the weather. With one of us having limited mobility we noted that access was very good, from memory there was just one step up from the outside and then level throughout. It was also good to see power points part-way up the walls rather than having to bend down. For walkers / drivers there was a good supply of local information including OS maps (to be left there obviously) which was a great touch. All in all, very good. Hide
