Self Catering Stone Farmhouse near Bala, North Wales | Ty-Mawr

We had an amazing few days here. Brilliant house and gardens for our three dogs- all enclosed so nice and safe. Everything you need is provided, and the log fire is brilliant for a cosy night in.
Some great walks nearby and plenty of lakes for our water loving dogs!
We will definitely be returning in future, thank you.

Wow what a fabulous cottage just a five minute drive from Bala Lake and town. Very comfortable beds and sofas the garden was lovely our dog did really enjoy them front and back. Not totally secure you would have to keep an eye out if your dog likes to wonder off, because of the road which it’s on but never caused us a problem . Was very lucky with the weather just in time for a mini heatwave. Found a couple of walks around bala lake dog loved the water couldn’t get her out lol. Not far from the coast about 35 mins to barmouth. Can’t wait to go back again in the future x

Lovely cottage with everything you need. Good location just outside of Llanuwchlyn and 10 minutes drive from Bala. Very clean with good kitchen and all important dishwasher. WiFi is effective and TV good to have. Really comfortable bed, amazing bath. Quite near to the road but overall really quiet and peaceful spot with walking options from the door.

A relaxing stay in a lovely cottage, close enough to local amenities, but being away from other homes.
Lovely, large and safe garden for the dogs to run about in.
Good bottle of red wine left by the hosts too! Thank you!

Immaculately presented farmhouse… tick. Combines old world charm and comfort with all mod cons. And plenty of room for our two large dogs. Large outside space with seating area overlooking beautiful views … tick. And great central location to discover the wonderful area around Lake Bala and further afield…. tick, tick, tick. Very decent complementary bottle of Shiraz … big tick. Charming and helpful owner by the name of Geraint … another big tick. Sad to leave a place that ticks so many boxes.

We had a fabulous holiday at ty Mawr. Mr Edwards was the perfect host he couldn’t have made us feel more welcome.The cottage is just pure luxury especially the bath.The views are breathtaking with some lovely walks from the door.Can not wait to book ty mawr again x

My partner and I had an absolutely lovely stay at Ty Mawr. It was the perfect getaway during these strange times. The bed is ridiculously comfy, the bath is heavenly and the views from the cottage are amazing. We spent plenty of evenings relaxing in front of the fire. It felt like a home from home.
We fitted in lots of walks nearby (Aran Benllyn, Cader Idris, Lake Vyrnwy, Precipice walk, Llyn Cynwch, Rhaeadar Ddu). Some more challenging than others but all offering beautiful autumnal views. We would 100% recommend this cottage to others.

Just managed to get a lovely week away in Wales before the lockdown hit. Ty Mawr is in a great location. Detached and with no immediate neighbours so as to feel completely isolated but within easy driving distance of any amenities that you may need. The cottage was wonderful and cosy and we felt at home straight away. As there was just myself, my boyfriend and two small dogs there was plenty of space. The bathroom is stunning and the kitchen has everything you need, including a dishwasher. The only down side was that the central heating was so efficient we did not have any need to light the beautiful fires!

Great house , everything you need is there , the fire was lovely each evening, the views are amazing , the town of Bala has everything you need from shops, cafes , pubs and restaurants all in all a relaxing break from the madness that we are living through at the moment, one criticism would be it needs a coat rack or hooks ( maybe in the porch area ) as no where to hang coats .

We had a lovely stay at Ty Mawr near Bala. Managed to get out every day, even though we had the eye of the storm literally over us on one day last week. Cottage well equipped. So quiet and secluded, recommend it if you want to get away from the rat run or Covid.

Very comfortable and location good for visiting central and north Wales.Could do with better information pack,particularly tv set up! Locally the Eagles Inn at Llanuwchlln very good food and George iii at Penmaenpool.Geraint very helpfull.

Lovely comfortable with lots of character, we we’re unlucky with the weather,rained all week! but good to get back to a nice warm & cosy cottage.

We stayed for one week, we found the cottage to be very homely and comfortable. Very clean and looked after. The washer and dryer were a great addition to the cottage. The cottage has a large bath, which we enjoyed after a long day. There is a wrap around garden to relax in too, it only rained once for us, so we managed to make use of this space. The lake at Bala is only a 5-10 minute drive and offers a wide variety of water sports. It was an hour to the “mountain ‘ and to the zip line in Snowdonia. The views are stunning when travelling around. We would recommend this cottage.

One of the nicest holiday cottages we have ever stayed in. Me, my partner and our Jack Russell spent a fantastic week at Ty Mawr to celebrate our joint birthdays.

The cottage is really well fitted with every comfort you need but without losing the feel of an old and very cosy cottage. The central heating is very efficient (to the point we turned it off most days!) which is rare for a holiday cottage, usually they are a bit cold, not the case at all here. The wood-burner in the evenings was perfect and added to the cosiness. The cottage is very homely and we felt at home in no time at all, and the reclining leather sofas in the main lounge are a really nice touch. It has a kitchen that is sufficiently equipped for cooking a full English in the morning and preparing an evening meal too. And the all-important dish-washer to chuck everything in afterwards is a must (who wants to do washing-up on holiday??).

Upstairs is just as good, the beds have good mattresses with decent support and the rooms are cosy and warm. The bathroom is huge with a fab roll-top bath and a good sized shower enclosure.

The views from the cottage are breath-taking!! I spent some very happy moments sitting on the window seats with a glass of red just taking in the views and watching the spring lambs on the hills opposite. The garden is also lovely with lots of Spring flowers and great for the dog to run around in safely. We even ate breakfast in the garden one morning in the warm sunshine, what a treat for Wales in May!!

There is a large chest of drawers in the lounge that’s full of leaflets with various attractions and things to do, which is really handy for planning your week.

The cottage is also really well situated and we travelled to so many places within an hour’s drive maximum, so much to see and do and with the cottage so easily accessible we were able to go out for the morning, pop back for a cuppa and some lunch and then go out again in the afternoon for a few hours. Then back out in the evening or just rustle up some dinner and stay in by the fire – perfect!

All in all we had a fantastic holiday and would not hesitate to recommend this cottage. We both hope to return one day!

This cottage was perfect for us and our dogs. It is a great size with a lovely garden and the sheep in the field next door were lovely to watch! Geraint was ever so nice and helpful. The cottage is perfectly placed for getting around and there are some wonderful dog friendly pubs in Bala. All in all, we had a very relaxing break with amazing views and a cottage I could have moved into very easily. We will definitely return!

Stayed for four nights last few days in Sept into Oct. House had everything we needed. Comfy bed, great recliner sofas, fab bath – with a view. Lovely and warm, logs delivered to the back door by Geraint who came to say hello as we arrived, welcome wine appreciated ! Great location, views of the surrounding hills, peaceful and private yet only 10 mins into Bala for essentials. Thank you

We loved this fantastic farmhouse in a great location with stunning scenery.Lots of room indoors and outside too with a large secure garden for our dog to play in.Hope to visit again and booking through dioni was an enjoyable process.

We return to this cottage every year. It is close to the lake. We like the garden.

We really enjoyed our stay and we were really lucky with the weather. Cottage very beautiful,well equipped, spacious and amazing views. The views were particularly good from the bath, perfect to relax in after a days walking.

We had an amazing week, it was a lovely cottage, perfect for what we wanted a quiet week away with the dogs away from the fire works, will be booking it again for next year

Had a great five night stay. Centrally positioned for all our trips out for the day.Cosy log fire on the two very rainy days.
Comfortable and clean with everything we needed. Would definitely recommend for similar visits.Only point is we found entrance to driveway to be quite difficult to see/find especially at night. Could do with more conspicuous signs both sides of the road.Very nice to meet owner who took the time to say hello.

We had a lovely time at this cottage. Everything was as described and the owner so accommodating and helpful. We cycled, canoed, white water rafted and climbed. The gorge at cadair idris is worth a visit as is the national white water rafting centre. The visitors centre just outside Bala does a good lunch and are dog friendly. The eagles pub is good for food as is the bryntirion inn which is dog friendly and has a great games room.

We and our two boys had a great time at this place and found it to be as homely as the description suggested – especially with the woodburner going. Everything was clean and in working order and Geraint was the perfect host, coming along to meet us 10 minutes after we got there. Our boys, who are 19 and 21, loved the fact there were lots of sheep in the next field, which accentuated the real country feel of the place. Brilliantly close to Bala and its lake, which we visited to go canoeing several times. I’d highly recommend this cottage.

We had a fantastic short break at this lovely cottage. The location is superb and the sheep that appear in the front garden just add to the Welsh experience! The cottage was clean and everything worked – the bathroom is a highlight with the roll-top bath and spacious shower. Geraint’s walking directions to the pub were perfect – thank you!

Had such an amazing break at this cottage. The views are spectacular and provide the best escape. Geraint was very helpful and so friendly. Would highly recommend the Bala Lake steam train nearby and also Zip World is a 40 minute drive away which provides great fun for thrill seekers! Be looking to return to this charming cottage soon.

A fabulous cottage. Everything in the description is accurate. A great base for exploring all of Snowdonia. The garden and surroundings were great for training our puppy GSP. It felt like a home from home.
Will definitely return.

This is one of our favourite cottages it was our third visit need I say more as always Geraint was very welcoming the cottage is everything it says in the reviews and is perfect for exploring the area this time we visited dolgoch falls and the blue lake both come highly recommend

Superb. No downsides at all for Ty Mawr

Just lovely! A perfect base to explore Snowdonia and a great place to see in he New Year. The cottage owner was very helpful and friendly. The cottage has some lovely views and a big enclosed garden which was perfect for our collie. Thanks again! We hope to see you again x

Lovely few days at this lovely cottage, had a relaxing holiday, loads to see and do. Beautiful scenery, can recommend the local pub for food, hope to return

Lovely cottage , and most importantly it’s nice and warm. You can walk up the Aran mountains from the front door and the Arenig and Berwyn ranges are within easy reach. Good beaches a short drive away.
My only comment was that the lighting could have been a bit better , the energy saving bulbs don’t kick out much light at times.

Mark,karen
We enjoyed our three nights stay at the cottage,very quiet and peaceful loads of things to do and places to visit in the area,would stay here again,very dog friendly.

Mark,karen,Patricia,poppy brian.

We had a fantastic time at Ty-Mawr,really quiet and relaxing,it was great for our dog cause the grounds to the property are massive and enclosed,we can not fault it and hope to visit here again,many thanks to the owner geraint.

Great cottage in lovely location. Big garden that is dog friendly (and dog fun playing chase and football) and fully fenced in. The cottage has what you need, including the two wood burners in case the weather is a bit colder than our visit. There are lots of walks in the area, our favourite being the Precipice walk near Dolgellau, around a 15 minute drive away, which is an (almost) flat two hour walk with great views.
The cottage is an easy 40 minute stroll to the Eagle pub, down a back lane with no cars. The food there is good and the drinks are well priced. There is everything you need, including a big co-op, takeaways and more pubs in Bala which is around a 10 minute drive away.
We would recommend this cottage for a place that is near to everything you need, but is so peaceful that it seems like you are miles away from the rest of the world !

Having stayed at Tal-y-bont last year, we decided to give Ty-Mawr a try this year and we weren’t disappointed. The views from this beautiful cottage are amazing. Weather was mixed but didn’t stop us doing some beautiful walks, our favourite being by Cregennan Lakes which was spectacular. Geraint was very helpful as before and would like to thank him for the wine too. So much more to see and do and would love to come back.

We spent two wonderful,enjoyable and relaxing weeks in this cottage in May. Ty-Mawr is a very comfortable and tasteful furnitured and decorated cottage with much ambiance and a great view. The weather was unexpected and unusually warm and we enjoyed sitting in the nice garden. The location is great. There is so much to discover. Many sights, historic railways, the Snowdon area, Bodnants Garden, lovely towns and lakes/reservoirs and the coast are within easy reach The owner is very friendly and helpful. The booking with Dioni was uncomplicated and the cottage actually provides what the description and the photos/video have promised.

Lovely cottage, good size, great location to explore the whole of
Snowdonia. Fantastic walks enjoyed by all including our dog, from Aberdovey to Conwy, including Snowdon, more walks to do so will hopefully be back soon

We had a fantastic few days in this lovely cottage. There is plenty of room and it is very comfortable and warm. The bathroom is particularly lovely. Lots to do in the area and the scenery is breathtaking. The Precipice walk is definitely worth doing as is the walk up Snowden. Take the miners track and wrap up warm.

Geraint and Dioni could not have need more helpful, thank you.

Spent a really nice weekend at the cottage.The owner popped round and was most helpful , despite being in the middle of “lambing”.
Tranquil summed it up for us.
Big secure storage area , you could not bring enough to fill it.
We will be back.
Steve and Ed

We had the most amazing time at this lovely cottage. The weather was not the best, but the cottage was so cosy with log burner going watching the wind and rain. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you need, wood provided. All the rooms are very big and clean and tidy. The front room and bathroom were our favourite rooms.

Bala lake was very high due to the recent floods was a sight to see. We would defiantly would book this amazing cottage again and would highly recommend ro everyone. The cows in the next field were our new friends loved watching them. Thanks ro Geriant for popping in to see if we were OK, a very nice touch.

Magical mysterious marvellous!!!!
The cottage beautifully decorated and the host was lovely. The views to die for and breathtaking, and places of interest only a drive away, would recommend without hesitation, thankyou for letting your lovely home to us GEraint.

We had a lovely stay at Ty Mawr. The cottage is cosy and comfy and we had everything we needed. It is in a great location for some fabulous walks and we also went white water rafting with the National White Water Centre in Bala. This was a brilliant and thrilling experience and well worth the money.
Geraint, the owner, was a very pleasant and helpful chap and delivered some extra firewood for us.
The local pub in the village does an excellent steak and ale pie and local beer which was very welcome at the end of a long day tramping in the hills.
There was a bottle of wine on arrival but, just one small criticism, the advertising does make mention of a “welcome hamper” which, apart from the wine, was not the case. I think a pint of milk and some tea bags would be very welcome.
I work for a holiday cottage company in the south of England and know how difficult it is to suit all tastes and to get it right but I compliment Dioni on a good service, great quality cottage (we also went to see Tal y Bont across the road – very nice), lovely informal but catchy video, and I would certainly recommend and use again.
Thank you.

Perfect holiday home.Lovely cottage set in stunning scenery with a secure garden that our dog absolutely loved.Tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished it’s an ideal location for seeing Snowdonia! So much to do we couldn’t fit it all in,the hill walking is fantastic, as is the Mawddach trail from Dolgellau to Barmouth. Bala lake is lovely we had a day’s kayaking,Coed y Brenin super day mountain biking with lovely walks and Zip World Velocity is a must do adrenalin rush.With all that and lovely seaside resorts only an hour away it’s perfect,and I’m sure that we will be returning! Nice pub, the Eagle serving good food within walking distance (1.5 miles )

Our holiday here was beyond fantastic. Everything about this place is PERFECT!!! Great location and fantabulous views. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and would love to return!! thank you 🙂

A great house in a lovely location, on the main road but set back enough by the large dog friendly “wrap-around” garden that you don’t notice it. The house is large and well equipped, with comfortable good quality furniture. Owner very friendly. Lots to do in the area (although expect at least a 20 mile journey to nearby attractions), and fantastic scenery all round. Thanks to Louise for helping out with our dogs, and will definitely use Dioni again (hopefully next year).

Ty Mawr was a lovely cosy, comfortable cottage. The position was ideal for exploring the local area with lots of opportunities for walking. The views were stunning overlooking the Aran Ridge. It was near enough to the local village of Llanuwchllyn to walk to the local pub via the quiet country lane at the back of the house. The house itself was roomy and well furnished. We felt relaxed from the moment we arrived. Geraint the owner, arrived to check that everything was alright. He was very friendly and welcoming. Overall we have no complaints and will be returning when we want an away from it all relaxing break.

Recently spent a long weekend in the cottage and absolutely loved it. Everything was as described – cottage nicely decorated and well maintained, great location etc – couldn’t have wished for anything more. Would definitely return

3 adults 1 teenager 2 dogs. 5 day stay mid Feb. Cottage very comfortable .clean. cosy and with good facilities Easy access to bala for shops pubs etc. Lovely surrounding area for walking dogs. And enclosed garden . Very relaxing and peaceful. Will re-book.

We have just arrived back from a wonderful 5 night stay this place is just magical we wanted to stay for ever . There is nothing more you need there was so relaxing and the cottage is amazing . The walks are fantastic the views outstanding and the cottage is so relaxing and cosy . The most perfect place if you have children and pets .

We had an amazing stay. Cottage was perfect and can’t wait to re visit. Xx

Thank you for such an easy booking at a wonderful cottage.We had a weeks stay at Ty Mawr near Bala. Complete relaxation in a beautiful cottage comfy beds and a wonderful views from the bath. standing bath. Perfect cottage well equipped and located for exploring the local area.
Lovely owner who makes a point to come and say hello.
Looking forward to returning.

What a lovely place to pass a week in Wales.

Just the right balance of comfort and olde world charm.

We stopped at Rhug Estate near Corwen to fill up on supplies so we hardly went out!!

White Water Rafting at Bala was great though.. and the little steam train was fun

Napoleon the dog loved the safe enclosed garden

We’d love to go again

Was searching for a dog friendly self catering cottage around Llanuwchllyn to base ourselves in order to visit relatives in the village and tour the area. Ty-Mawr looked to fit our requirements perfectly and we were not disappointed when we arrived. Great view of the countryside and Aran and weather was good so we sat outside most days to enjoy the view. Cottage was comfortable and the log stove was fired up and the bottle of wine was a nice touch. Geraint was available for any problems. Ate in the Eagles and food was very good.
Will be back again and won’t hesitate to recommend Ty-Mawr (and Talybont) to family and friends.

Lovely cottage. Well cared for great central location for North Wales. We took our dog who loved the freedom of the garden which is secure all round. Cosy with the log fire especially after a long day. Lots of space in the cottage really enjoyed our stay.

One of the best cottages we have stayed in. Warm and comfortable and clean. lovely garden and views, so much to do near by, and lovely roads when you want to explore a bit further.. Very good local pub, good food and friendly people. Also the website is excellent, love the music. Will definately be returning. Thanks very much.

A great place. Ty Mawr is an ideal holiday home. Although situated off a busy road the big front garden puts enough distance between you and it, and it is completely enclosed for our four legged friends.
We had a great week there whilst attending the Eisteddfod in Bala, and we would certainly return there again. Plenty of beautiful countryside all around you and the view from the bath is stunning !
Diolch yn fawr i Geraint am y coed tan a’r ‘potel’ a diolch i Louise a Gwion am trefnu’r bwthyn.

We loved Ty Mawr and the spectacular scenery that surrounds it. It’s in a really beautiful location, very homely & well equipped inside and perfectly situated for visiting many other locations nearby.
There is a great little steam train ride from Llanuwchllyn to Llyn Tegid & in Bala town there is a variety of small shops & two excellent butchers for buying local meat. There’s also lots of other places within driving distance including Dolgellau; Devils Bridge & waterfall walks; Caerau Gardens; Harlech Castle & the fabulous ice-cream shop Hufenfa’r Castell opposite; Barmouth; King Arthur’s Labyrinth and the craft centre at Corris Uchaf; Glassblobbery at Glanrafon and of course Snowdon…
It was a busy week with the perfect cottage to come home to & relax in the beamed sitting room in front of the log burner, or perch in a window seat reading & admiring the view of the mountains.
The booking process was made easy by the excellent Dioni website and Louise’s helpful emails & we also appreciated Geraint’s personal welcome and gift when we arrived. Thank you all. We hope to book with Dioni again soon!

A lovely cottage in an ideal location for exploring both the mountains and the coast. The garden was great for our dog and the view from the bath tub was stunning. Previous trips to the Bala area have been camping ones and the weather has usually been wet. This time we didn’t mind wet weather as we had a cosy cottage to come back to at the end of the day. The weather overall was good and we had a great couple of walks on the beach at Barmouth. The white water rafting taster session was a good way for my partner to celebrate his birthday. Hope to come back again soon. Thank you Geraint.

My wife and I booked the cottage for our honeymoon in October 2013. The house was amazing; so big and secluded with lots of walks for our dogs!
The house is excellently located for day trips out too and the owner, Geraint, was very friendly and helpful with sorting a surprise for the new Mrs O.
Best holiday in the UK ever.

we had a lovely time at the cottage we want it!! it was so relaxing not something that you do when your at home everything is so hectic.we had been to the area last year so we know the area pretty well so this trip was spent just relaxing and enjoying the lovely cottage we would definatly go back. I love wales its a beautiful country.

This was our second stay at ty-mawr as you can guess the house is fantastic.
Geraint is really nice and very welcoming nothing is to much bother.The area around is also stunning with plenty of places to visit,there are leaflets with various walks at the cottage all of which are well worth doing.The Eagles pub does the best Sunday lunch and the staff are nice and friendly as well.PS the dogs think its fantastic as well.We will be back x

What a lovely place to spend Xmas. Cottage was lovely and very quaint with a great garden for our dog. Excellent location for many walks and the weather held out for us. Would come back again.

We stayed here last year and we loved Ty Mawr we just had to come back again. The weather was not so kind this time but the cottage is such a well equiped and comfy place that the weather didnt really matter. The dogs loved the large garden to play in and we loved all the comfort of just relaxing away from it all in what we know is a perfect setting. To say we were happy here is a understatement. Cant wait to return.

Wow, this is the best cottage we have ever stayed in !

In an ideal position, amazing views, close to all the watersports that Bala has to offer, within easy reach of the coast – we had a great day in Barmouth and surrounded by great walks.
Although the weather was not the best it really didn’t matter because once you enter the cottage with it’s super comfy sofa’s and the log burners you were so warm and cosy.
We would love to return soon and will definately recommend it to everyone. Thanks for a great 4 nights.

The cottage was extremely beautiful the outside views are breathtaking.
lovely place, would definitely go again

This was are second visit had a lovely time although it rained all week went to bala with the dog missy water babe plenty of walks if you like the quiet life this is the place to go nice big gardens lovely view did not want to come home Geraint the owner is very helpful supplied martin with a fishing rod never caught anything will recommend it to friends and family. Carol and Martin

We stayed at this beautiful cottage from the 24th August 2013 for a week and it was absolutely wonderful. The garden is great and our boys ( 4 and 10) loved playing hide and seek and frisbees. The cottage is brilliantly located for all of Snowdonia , with fantastic walks and wildlife everywhere. Geraint the owner was lovely and helpful .We couldn’t fault it and would highly recommend it to anyone .
Viki

Wow were the first words spoken from my husband and sons mouth, I think the dog was even overwhelmed by the size of the garden.
The cottage is lovely, we needed for nothing. Very comfy beds and the view from the bath were fabulous.Geraint the owner paid us a visit and gave us idea’s on places to visit nearby. The lake Vyrnwy and waterfalls at Pistyll Rhaeadr were fantastic, you won’t be disappointed.
The Eagles Inn is in easy walking distance, out of the back of the cottage, through the field, down the lane, freshly prepared food, good beer and friendly staff, what more do you need. Don’t forget your torch for the walk back.
We will be definitely returning.

We stayed in this lovely cottage and enjoyed every moment of it, Very peaceful and in great surroundings, Hope to return one day soon

Great little cottage which feels like home from the moment you step inside. We were lucky with the weather for most of the time, but for the times it got a little cooler the heating does it’s job and gets the entire cottage warm…very warm! 🙂

There is a large barn which can be locked for all your bikes/canoes etc.
Plenty of private secure off road parking.

We’ve just had a fantastic week here. Wonderfully secluded but within easy driving of Bala for supplies and pub food / takeaways.
We had incredible sunny weather for the most part, but also some wonderful evenings with the fire crackling while outside the wind howled and the rain poured…bliss.
The house is everything that it is advertised to be, but so much better when you get to see it in person; there was indeed a loss of the remote control and the second lounge was used for some peaceful reading.
There is so much to see and do locally that we’ve barely scratched the surface, we’ll definitely be making a return visit.

We had the most lovely week in this cottage..it really was home from home! Geraint popped in to check all was OK and had left wine and flowers which was a nice touch.
Our little dog loved the garden and so did the children. .great for Easter Egg hunts!
The views were perfect, nice local pub and fantastic walks from the front door. We would love to come back again soon.

We stayed for a week at Ty Mawr, nr Bala in this wonderful well equiped and beautifully furnished
farmhouse overlooking the distant mountains. It was lovely and clean and the owner was a real gentleman who called in to make sure we had everything we needed. We had a welcome pack on arrival together with a lovely vase of fresh flowers, a really welcoming touch. An added bonus was a lovely large secure garden for our two labradors plus a lockable storage room for boots and roofbox. We loved this cottage so much that we are booking again for this October or November. We would recommend this lovely cottage to anyone who wants that extra special holiday home.

We stayed 4 nights and what a fabulous farmhouse. Spotlessly clean on arrival and totally luxurious accommodation, from the comfy beds to the reclining leather chairs. The huge bathroom was the icing on the cake !! Light the wood burner and settle down for a cosy night in. Fabulous views and surroundings. Just what we needed to get away from it all and take things easy.

We stayed here for a short break in January when the snows came….it was lovely to be snowed in at this cosy cottage with the log burning stove keeping us warm and views of snowy mountains outside.

The cottage is well equipped and furnished to a high standard, and the owner Geraint is very helpful. Due to the weather we didn’t get the chance to get out much, although the lesiure centre in Bala has a swimming pool which is ideal for kids. Bala is a 5 min drive and has lots of pubs, cafes and shops.

I would certainly reccomend this cottage to those that wanted a quiet getaway in a beautiful part of Snowdonia.

We stayed there with 2 children in the November half term. The kids had a great time around the lovely cottage, and it was an ideal place to explore all the key North Wales places. Lovely and quiet, we slept in till 10am every day, which for the kids was unheard of.

Would definitely go back…

What a piece of paradise!! The cottage is very tastefully decorated and not overdone…just perfect! So warm and cosy! Geraint, the owner, couldn’t have been more helpful. When we messaged him asking if he knew where we could buy more wood for the fire he rocked up on the doorstep in the middle of a storm with a whole load of wood, kindling and coal. On the last day when we started to pack the car we realised we had a flat tyre. Geraint offered to take the tyre all the way back to Bala and have it fixed. What a host!! Can’t rave about this place enough…and that’s without even mentioning how stunning the scenery is in this area.

We loved this cottage! Cosy, warm, with fantastic views and pretty garden. It is furnished to very high standard and is very comfortable. Geraint, the owner, couldn’t be more helpful. It is in a great position for getting about the area. We had a blissful getting-away-from-it-all week!
