Lake View Farmhouse Escape, hotel in Bala

Featuring a sauna, Lake View Farmhouse Escape is set in Bala. Located 24 km from Lake Vyrnwy, the property provides a garden and free private parking.

This property was beautiful and the views out the windows were stunning. We had a very comfortable 2 nights in the property. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of glasses, plates and cooking utensils and a large range oven, making preparing food very easy. There is 2 indoor fireplaces which the host provided kindling logs and firefighters for which was a really nice touch. The sauna was also wood fired which was very easy to set up and enjoy. There were 5 double bedrooms with comfortable beds and a washer and dryer in the property which were handy. Lisa and her family were incredibly responsive and helpful. It snowed when we were there and we were worried about struggling to get back home due to conditions, Lisa’s dad came to the property who has farmed the land and eased our concerns. He even took us onto the farm to meet the animals which was a really nice touch. The town of Bala was located a 20 minute drive away which was a nice walk around with plenty of amenities. We spent most of our time here sat around the large dining table relaxing and taking in the views of the Welsh mountains. We would love to revisit in the summer as I can imagin the views are equally breathtaking. Thank you so much Lisa and family

The Bala House, hotel in Bala

The Bala House offers accommodation in Bala, 46 km from Chirk Castle. With free private parking, the property is 46 km from Portmeirion and 37 km from Horseshoe Pass.

The house was home from home. We put the heating up when we got in and we were lovely and warm. Everywhere spotlessly clean. Beds very comfy. Kitchen had everything we needed. Tv was great and easy to use. Lovely comfy couches to sit on. Amazing location, felt very safe and quiet, parked right opposite on chapel cap park and moved car to unload right outside house. Great to see the book about the renovations to the house. Bathrooms were spotless and ideal for multiple people staying together. So close to shops and cafes, restaurants and the beautiful Bala lake only a short walk away. Liked everything about the house and look forward to returning at some point soon. Just wonderful.

Stunning 2 bedroom cottage in Penmachno near Betws y Coed, hotel in Betws-y-coed

Located in Betws-y-coed in the Clwyd region, Stunning 2 bedroom cottage in Penmachno near Betws y Coed features a patio. It is situated 27 km from Snowdon and provides private check-in and check-out.

I visited here with my family of 3. We were so happy with the cottage, the village and the peace. The cottage has everything available to make our stay comfortable and warm. The village, though remote, was straight out of a Hallmark movie. The locals, i would love as forever neighbours. This is a must visit if you want out of the city noise.
