  Peniarth Ganol is a beautifully refurbished former farmhouse.

  It is full of character and quirkiness but with all the amenities you could hope for. We stayed there as a family of 4 adults with two children (our grandchildren), and our two dogs. We all had a great time both in the cottage and in the gardens and it was isolated enough to enjoy peace and quiet but near enough to travel to a variety of different destinations. There is so much to do there and we love visiting different areas of Wales year after year. The owners had thought of just about everything, even providing a large basket of dishwasher tablets and large bags to put dirty linen in. I imagined it to be a soft water area but there was some limescale in the bottom of the kettle which our daughter scrubbed most of it off. It was great to have a choice of bathrooms with the downstairs shower room being very much appreciated. It was great that there was a really useful utility room as well as plenty of storage everywhere. There was also a spacious and ample fridge freezer. Despite all that was provided, we took extra toilet roll, kitchen towel, beach and tea towels, extra bin bags etc so we really were short of very little and improvised where we needed to. There was a huge choice of adults and children's books and games with our grandchildren never tiring of snakes and ladders with much hilarity and cheating going on. The wifi is excellent and useful because there isn't much signal elsewhere until you reach towns. Within several miles, there are plenty of shops to buy provisions with lots of Aldis and Co-ops and a few other independent shops. There are so many stunning hand crafted features of the cottage like the hand made window frames, and enormous dining table, and the staircase. Had the weather been slightly better, we would have had a BBQ outside but when the weather was fine, we went out and about exploring but there was plenty of seats and tables in the garden so plenty of choice for everyone. Great holiday all round and a lovely property and location.

  What a fantastic beautifully decorated and equipped bungalow.

  The pictures don't fully do it justice. Situated in a very quiet cul-de-sac and literally 2 minutes walk (across the road) to Bala Lake and the leisure centre. The town centre is no more than a 5 minute stroll and has plenty of bars, restaurants,(all are dog friendly), take aways a Co-op and Spar together with a small selection of traditional shops. Check out the Welsh Ice cream. The narrow gauge railway is worth a trip, travelling through the beautiful Welsh countryside. You can walk to the station (just follow the lake round to the left of the leisure centre taking about 20 minutes leisurely stroll. Anyone with an electric vehicle there is a charging point on the Green carpark at the far end of the town which is walkable in 10 minutes.Currently there is 1 CSS 50kW and 1 type 2 22kW socket available provided by SWARCO e-connect. There are also 2 new charge points at the leisure centre which at the time of writing were not operational. Many thanks to the owner Rachael, who is available if you have any questions. The perfect break.

  We stayed here as a group of 7 in August 2020.

  If you are looking for a remote, beautiful holiday home with everything you might need or want then this is your place. The property has been lovingly renovated by the owners with views to die for. The kitchen is well stocked with crockery and cutlery. The 2 bathrooms are spacious and the shower is devine with loads of hot water. The house is so well made that the bedrooms are so quiet you can hardly hear other people moving around the house, and the beds are super comfy. We had a baby with us and there was a travel cot and highchair available. There is lots to do in the area with a short drive to beaches, we did pottery painting at Corris craft centre which was nice, but also lots of walks from the cottage door. A wander up bird rock opposite gives stunning views! I'm sure we will be back, I would like to go in winter to make the most of the underfloor heating and cosy log fire!

  This is a beautifully renovated farmhouse in a fantastic location.

  You have the peacefulness of being in the countryside but only a 15 minute drive to the beach. It really was a home-from-home and had so many nice touches and facilities (my only minor gripe is that it’s been overlooked about having a mirror near a plug socket so drying your hair is a challenge as there are only mirrors currently in the bathrooms, but that is only a minor thing in the scale of things as they’d thought of everything else). It was spotlessly clean everywhere and the beds were really comfy. You have the choice of a lovely roll-top bath in the upstairs bathroom or an amazing waterfall shower in the downstairs one. Although it worked out quite expensive for us as a family of 4, if you had two families stay, with the maximum capacity of 8 people, then it is definitely value for money and we’d love to come back and stay again

  Property was very clean, lights,/ heating on when we arrived.

  There was some staining on the sofa & vinyl covering on table puckered. I spoke to the caretaker about this & she said they were aware. Since there was a good housekeeping bond I felt it was advisable to mention these, did not want any issues after our stay. Everything was perfect, well equipped. Dogs loved the garden, very quiet area, just what we needed. We had to leave on Thursday due to having a family funeral on Friday. I did want to book the property again for January but unfortunately not available that month Not very happy with Sykes customer service when booking, being charged £25 extra, reason given 'market forces' prices can fluctuate, since I needed to be away at that time at short notice I had no choice.
