    Cleanliness was as expected for a pet-friendly property and the facilities were more than adequate for the 2 of us (plus our dog).

  • Nicole

    Lovely big cooker and baked lovely cakes in it as well as our main meals. Even when dish washer full still loads of plate and glasses. Parked one car at the back easy and our people carer parked across from police station any time of day or night we found. So close for steam railway, water sports, swimming pool and a lovely walk way around Bala . Thanks to laminated maps left in welcome book so very easy to find our way. Nice little playground and football area with friendly locals to play with. This was a perfect base for us 2 adults and 3 kids. Would stay again.

    It was great for the ten of us and the layout suited us. Would have preferred not to have ‘bunk beds’ for adults but we managed. There were however some issues with overall cleaning (and a smell of dampness in family room) and the property is in need of some TLC. 2 of the sofas in the living room were very uncomfortable to sit on. In the double room with en suite the curtains are very thin and in the toilet in the en-suite was making an awful noise when flushed. I would still recommend the property for a base in that area, just feel that a good spruce up, attention to plumbing and some new sofa would be beneficial.
