Just back from a wonderful break in this lovely cottage. Set in an idyllic private location with beautiful views of the mountains, yet close to Bala. There are many scenic places to visit within a short drive. The house is very well presented. Quaint and charming with up to date modern interior, and lovely woodburners. The owners are very helpful aRead morend consider your every need. We would definitely like to return to this relaxing rural retreat. A true gem, you dont find this very often these days. Hide

This spacious house was very clean, well maintained and fully equipped. The quiet rural location was ideally situated for Bala town centre, with wonderful views, the only drawback was, the steep half a mile, single track drive up to the house. We had one 4x4 vehicle, which we were able to use for the week. We would definitely recommend this house aRead morend would love to stay again. Hide

This a wonderful cottage with the most amazing views, very private and peaceful. It's very well equipped, warm and well insulated. It's also more spacious that the photographs suggest - it's got loads of room, perfect for a family holiday. Lots of hiking trails are nearby, and easy access by car to Bala Llyn Tegid and the national white water centrRead moree at Fron-goch. The ice cream place on the Bala high street, Aran Hufen Ia, is a must-visit, their homemade ice cream is excellent. Hide

We had a wonderful time at Ty Mawr & were really sad to leave. Mike was on hand if needed yet very discreet & his sidekick Ken (sheep dog!) was an absolute delight.
