My wife & I stayed here for a week, and the location was perfect for us in many ways. The cottage has ample space, with the option of an electric fireplace in one lounge, and a real fireplace in the other! The hot tub was great, and while there wasn't a bbq, we brought our own raised fire pit that worked perfectly for this. Llyn Tegid is a 10min drRead moreive from the cottage, and Eryri National Park is on your doorstep, so this is the perfect location as a base for exploring the countryside. Hide

What a fantastic week away with our dog and 2 young boys!! The farmhouse is stunning! In a perfect idilic location with plenty of space inside and out! We enjoyed plenty of walks either straight out by foot from the home or a short drive away followed by a soak in the hot tub when we got back! We will definitely be returning in the near future.

A lovely house in a beautiful setting, very spacious and clean. Had everything we needed. Garden is very secure, so we didn't have to watch the dog every time he went out. Hot tub was an added bonus, perfect for easing stiff legs after a long day's walk.

This is a lovely place to stay so quiet and your away from everything and everyone. You have two living room areas with a tv in each so kids got to watch a movie whilst adults watch their own. My kids were fully excited by having tvs in every bedroom. The shower was perfect after a day of walking.

A minor point. The toilet has been fitted a little close to the end bathroom wall (about 3"). Moving both the toilet and the sink/vanity unit a little would be far more comfortable.

We stayed here for a mountain biking trip and wanted something out the way but close enough to where we were riding. Located at the back of a farm the cottage had everything we needed and plenty of space. Nearest town bala was only 10mins in a taxi and the local pub also doubled as the shop aswell. All the locals were also friendly.
