LUXURY FARMHOUSE IN MOUNTAIN LOCATION | CWMAIN

SLEEPS 10 | FARM STAY | WIFI | REAL FIRE
Cwmain is the quintessenial country getaway. A 5 bedroom farm house based on a working farm, it offers seclusion whilst being only 20 minutes away from Bala, a big market town.

HOLIDAY COTTAGE ON THE GLASLYN RIVER NEAR BEDDGELERT | GLASLYN-HOUSE

SLEEPS 7 | WIFI | NEAR PUB | REAL FIRE
The location of this 4 bedroom holiday cottage is truly unique. Set within beautiful grounds with a private river bank on the Glaslyn river and its own wooded area, this really is Swallows and Amazons territory. The large kitchen and sitting room inside make this a really great place and being only a mile outside Beddgelert makes it perfectly located to explore the local area – they have the best ice cream at Glasyln Ices too which can be the reward for a walk into the village!

LARGE SELF CATERING PROPERTY IN NORTH WALES | THE-COACH-HOUSE

SLEEPS 16 | WIFI | NEAR PUB | PET FRIENDLY | REAL FIRE
The Coach House is set in a country estate just outside Bala. If you like the idea of taking the kids away to a country retreat with lots of space inside and out then this is a really good call. The games room which has lots to entertain the kids including a full-size table tennis set will certainly be a place they will congregate. The tennis court and the option to fish are just perfect for the kids to enjoy without having to travel. Bala is only a 10 minute drive away and there you will find pubs, cafes and shops aswell as Llyn Tegid where there are lots of watersports on offer. A little further down the road is the National White Water Centre; the UK’s no 1 place for white water rafting.

NORTH WALES HOLIDAY COTTAGE WITH SEA VIEWS | TYN-BUARTH

SLEEPS 6 | WIFI | NEAR BEACH | NEAR PUB
Tyn Buarth is close to the beach and so great if a few days by the seaside is what you are looking for. The 4 bedroom house is beautifully done with a modern feel and everything you could need for a week away including a lovely garden. Its location is fantastic for smaller journeys to entertain kids. Barmouth is 10 minutes away and where you have a quintessential seaside town complete with a fairground, amusement arcades, fish and chips, icecream and a harbour for crabbing. 10 minutes North you have Harlech Castle if a little bit of culture is on your agenda.

TWO BEDROOM HOLIDAY COTTAGE WALKING DISTANCE FROM THE BEACH | BEUDY-BENNAR-ISA

SLEEPS 4 | FARM STAY | WIFI | NEAR BEACH | NEAR PUB | REAL FIRE
If you are looking for a smaller family getaway then Beudy Bennar Isa is just the place. It is walking distance from the beach set on a farm – truly idyllic and great for younger kids as everything to entertain them is on the door step. A cute stone cottage set by the beach with a real fire and outside patio. Barmouth again is only 10 minutes south for the traditional seaside town and Harlech 10 minutes north with the castle. For a fuss free holiday with younger children, this would be top of my list.
