My husband and I stayed at this cottage for a week at the end of March. I can highly recommend Ty Mawr. The photos do not do it justice. It has two large king size bedrooms, one with a sink. One twin bedded room and on the landing is another single bed with a pull out bed underneath. Plenty of storage space in the bedrooms and landing. Very comfortRead moreable beds. Very useful utility and downstairs bathroom. The views are outstanding and the night sky is beautiful. Hosts very helpful. Hide

Our New Year stay was wonderful. The cottage is beautiful and very well stocked. It's spacious enough for everyone to do their own thing and the kitchen/dining area is a lovely space to hang out. The beds are comfy and everywhere was clean and well maintained. It's the perfect retreat and it even snowed on our last day.

Lovely rural location with stunning views towards Bala. It is a step and rugged access road towards the cottage, nice secure garden.

Wonderfully secluded and yet convenient for Bala. We stayed here for a long weekend just to get away from everything and it was perfect.

The location is fantastic. Remote but within 10 mins drive to Bala with its pubs and restaurants. The drive up to the cottage is not that bad ,driven slowly with care. Views from the cottage are amazing, but could be further enhanced if the outside areas of the cottage were not so neglected. A little bit of time and attention could make this properRead morety so much nicer. Hide
