We had the most beautiful stay. Hosts were wonderful and had a lush gift basket on arrival including cream tea. 😍 the view of bala lake is incredible, there is boat hire place next door, and the cottage is not far from the small town of bala. Half an hour to hour drive and you can really go anywhere! We went to portmeirion and bedd gellert, and conwy falls. The owners own the cafe also attached to the cottage. UThe cottage was a little cold but the minute the fires on it is soon very toasty!(just bring slippers!) Absolutely loved it, hope to come back soon.
