Reviews

Spacious, bright, homely - a beautiful bungalow with gorgeous views to relax to. Spotless, all the equipment needed to hand and the 'drying room' was a great addition. Couldn't fault the bungalow and Gwyn and Jane were ideal hosts.

Mrs M,

The cottage is very high spec and offers every comfort. Our 2nd stay which shows how much we enjoyed it. Beautiful views which can be enjoyed in all weathers. The owners are lovely people, very welcoming and there's lots to explore in this beautiful part of Wales, both countryside and coast

Mrs K,

We have stayed in many cottages and barn conversions but this bungalow is top of the list. Very comfortable and stylish interior, excellently equipped with beautiful views over the hills and valley. Quiet and peaceful location with easy access to the coast and countryside. Lovely owners who were nearby if needed. Would stay here again.

Mrs S,

Comfortable, spacious, well equipped with lovely views.

Mr F,

Had a fantastic stay at this amazing bungalow. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and on hand if anything is needed, whilst still respecting your privacy. The bungalow is the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in and deserves 5 stars. It is modern, comfortable and has everything you need with plenty of parking space. The views from the bungalow are spectacular and was so nice to sit at the kitchen table looking out across the beautiful valley whilst eating breakfast each morning. We already miss it. The bungalow is only a 2 minute drive from the town of Bala. You can walk to it from the bungalow but the first section is down a busy road without no pavement. Would recommend parking down by the lake on the road for free (the bottom end of the lake) and walk into town instead of having to pay in the public pay and display car park. Would highly recommend this accommodation if you want a peaceful, relaxing and comfortable holiday. We can't wait to go back.

Mrs R,

We would highly recommend this property and it’s one of the best we have stayed in. The photos on the website show exactly how good the property is, everything is well looked after, clean and maintained to a very high standard. We will definitely be returning. owners are lovely and made us feel very welcome.

Mr B,

Stunning, peaceful location. House spotlessly clean and perfect hosts. Plenty to do in the area.

Mrs J,

Fantastic home from home. Comfortable, quiet, well-equipped and spacious. It's an amazing place to stay.

Mrs A,

Mr E,

Wonderfully appointed cottage with everything you needed for a relaxing holiday. Fantastic views and very light and spacious. Owners very welcoming.

Mr E,

Home from home, everything you need. Quiet and peaceful.

Miss B,

Incredible cottage, beautiful location, really friendly hosts. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Mr S,

As per other reviews it proved to be an excellent property, very well equipped and in a great location for exploring. So it's difficult to add much to what has been said before in praise of the house and we would definitely return. Our time there was split only by the weather as it was very wet and windy most days but it was December! And the house was always warm to return to. We had been wary of having underfloor heating in that would it be warm enough but it certainly was in spite of the weather. With one of us having limited mobility we noted that access was very good, from memory there was just one step up from the outside and then level throughout. It was also good to see power points part-way up the walls rather than having to bend down. For walkers / drivers there was a good supply of local information including OS maps (to be left there obviously) which was a great touch. All in all, very good.

Mr C,

An absolutely gorgeous and well equipped cottage. Can highly recommend. No shortage of anything. Tv's in every room and wifi was very good. Would love to return.

Ms W,

Bwthyn Bryn yr Aber is a fantastic 5 star property. Immaculate, really spacious and beautifully appointed, with everything you need for a great stay including a lovely welcome pack. We stayed in November and the property was as warm as toast in every room, with continuous hot water too. It has gorgeous views from the property and it is also really well situated for visiting the many attractions of North Wales or walking straight from the door. The owners are very friendly and have thought of everything that you might need while on holiday. I can't recommend this property enough.

Miss S,

Amazing place, amazing property!

Ms S,

Our 3rd stay in this superb bungalow. Convenient location just outside Bala with parking alongside, fabulous views, light, spacious, well equipped and very friendly obliging hosts. We love it.

Mr L,

We had a fabulous week at this beautiful cottage-it is finished to an incredibly high standard both inside and out-spacious bright & airy- views are stunning-we did such a lot as weather was lovely- it was a treat to return to the cottage & unwind after exploring this gorgeous part of Wales- owners friendly & helpful.

Mrs B,

Wow! What an amazing holiday. Thr cottage was absolutely beautiful in the perfect location. Owners are very friendly and helpful will definitely visit again.

Miss J,

First impression 'wow', second impression still 'wow'. A lovely, spacious, property so clean and fresh with everything you need. Plus comfy beds, pillows and sofas.

Mrs G,

Map

Enjoy tranquil, rural surroundings at this detached, contemporary cottage. Just 1 mile from the welcoming market town of Bala - home to the largest natural lake in Wales called Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) that can be seen from the elevated grounds surrounding your cottage. Bala also offers a whole range of amenities, including a variety of shops, a convenience store and small supermarket, banks and a garage. There is also a traditional cinema and a Leisure Centre which includes a fitness room, indoor swimming pool and a slide. Not to mention a steam train that runs along Bala Lake Railway through beautiful Snowdonia scenery.

The town of Bala offers numerous cafes, pubs and restaurants such as Plas yn Dre , White Lion Hotel, Plas Coch, Y Cwrt and Bala Spice. Amongst the best places to eat in the area is Pale Hall restaurant (3.5 miles) - an old stately home and a fantastic building, the Michelin star Tyddynllan restaurant in Llandrillo (6.5 miles) and Lake Vyrnwy restaurant (14 miles along a scenic mountain road). For a really good village pub / restaurant, visit the Eagles Inn in Llanuwchllyn (5.5 miles), or Bryntirion Inn, Llandderfel (3.5 miles) for a real ale pub.

If you enjoy the outdoors, this is the area for you because Bala and the surrounding area is firmly establishing itself as the 'adventure' capital of Wales. From world class watersports provision on Bala Lake (canoeing, sailing, windsurfing and gorge walking) and the National White Water Centre (5 miles) to a high speed go-carting circuit in Cerrigydrudion (12 miles). You also have the famous Zip Wire and Bounce Below in Blaenau Ffestiniog (22 miles) and numerous other attractions such as Tree Tops Adventure in Betws y Coed and Coed y Brenin's world renowned Mountain Biking Centre all within easy reach.

If you prefer to relax on holiday, there are numerous picturesque mountain and lakeside walks nearby, not to mention the scenic cycle route along the shores of Llyn Tegid lake. And why not treat yourself to a night out with popcorn in the local cinema? Your Bala holiday cottage also provides a great central base to explore the whole of Snowdonia and North Wales. Llechwedd Slate Caverns (22 miles), Portmeirion (29 miles) and the Welsh Highland Railway (30 miles) are just some of many highly recommended days out.
