Such a lovely cottage in a peaceful and quiet area. The cottage was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed for the week. Friendly and helpful owners, who were there if needed but not intrusive. Loved the views from the farm, with so.e great dog walks too.

The location of this and the adjoining cottages is absolutely stunning with incredible views down the valley. Easy access to Snowdonia and the northern coast as well Barmouth and to the south. Great if you have a dog as you can walk out of the property straight into fields and there is also plenty of safe parking. We were very comfortable in the coRead morettage and had a great time. Hide

A wonderfully located cottage with outstanding views across Bala and beyond. The cottage was spotlessly clean, and the hosts were very friendly and available if needed. This is a working farm, so whilst it's dog friendly, dogs can't be off lead on site, however we found numerous places to go to take the dogs where they could roam free without worryRead more. A 4 min drive to Bala town itself, with a number of shops, and places to eat and drink. Hide
