Absolutely amazing! Very good price for what you get! The place is just amazing nothing bad to say in the slightest, comfortable, warm, romantic fire in garden and private! Short walk to shops, takeaways or even normal walks! Short drive from most places like mines, caves, hikes or swimming! Even boat rentals or e-bike rentals!The owner Carl is amazing! There if you need any help as well!

What a fantastic holiday we had in what really can be described as a home from home. Very clean, all the equipment you need for a week away self catering and still feel uncluttered. The location is perfect, being right at the end of the high street, parking at the back of the Butchers can be a bit spotty, but we never struggled. The river walk is beautiful and following it down to lake Bala was a joy. The lake itself is spectacular and the views breathtaking. The butchers is first class, local fresh produce, we had all our meat from there and it was gorgeous - fair warning though, the sausage rolls and pies are addictive, even brought some home. Highly recommend this place to anyone. The owners can't do enough for you and we're perfect hosts. Special mention to the Goat pub, made us very welcome and we felt like locals when we had to leave. Will definitely be back. Easiest review I have ever given.
