This fantastic property is the perfect escape for families or groups of friends looking for a relaxing base to return to after a long day out exploring. Sleeping six across three cosy bedrooms, it won’t be long before you’re all ready to get out and explore beautiful Bala Lake (5 miles) or Eryri National Park/Snowdonia (23.5 miles). Make the most of every moment by returning home and enjoying a soak in your private hot tub with a glass of your favourite tipple after a tasty BBQ on the patio.

The property, which is situated on a working farm, welcomes you up some steps and into a porch to take off muddy walking boots. The spacious kitchen, with wooden units and exposed beams, has everything you need to cook up a storm including a range-style electric oven; sit on the sofa and chat to the chef while they cook before moving through to the dining room. This bright and airy room has French doors out to the patio – why not dine alfresco when the weather’s fine? After dinner, retire to the lounge where an inglenook fireplace and wood burner beckon you to sink into the sofas and watch TV. Get away from the busy house and read a book in the snug or play some games with your fellow guests. Upstairs, a stylish shower room is filled with light through the sun tunnel, while neutral decor in the two double bedrooms and one twin helps you drift off to sleep.

If you’re an adventurous lot, head to the National White Water Centre (10 miles) for fun water activities. For groups looking for something more relaxing, hop aboard the Llangollen Railway (28 miles), or hire a bike and explore Llangollen along the peaceful route to the World Heritage Site Froncysyllte. Coed y Brenin Forest Park (21 miles) is well worth a visit with mountain bike trails, waymarked walks and picnic sites among stunning scenery.

My wife and I stayed here with our 2 dogs. The cottage is very spacious and offers all necessary facilities for the perfect stay including the Hot Tub which we really enjoyed. The garden area is completely secluded and can be locked off, which gave our dogs the freedom to run around without the worry of them escaping.

Lovely place to stay. Overlooking Bala lake which is accessible at the local village by a quaint steam train. The location is perfect if you like to be just outside everything, being on a working farm the property is at the top of the farm affording privacy.
