  We enjoyed a wonderful stay in Bala.

  The house is perfectly placed up a steep hill with amazing views. It´s a great base to explore the area. The house itself has lots of nice touches, the amount of family board games was exceptional and we made great use of them. The bedrooms are basic and the low ceilings in some and the bathroom may be difficult for very tall people! But it all adds to the charm of the place. Having our dog with us was super important to us, the outside space is very well maintained and we spent most evenings enjoying the sun in the garden. The Guest book is very detailed with ideas for places to visit as a family with 2 teenagers we explored the following Bala Lake just a few mins walk away has lots of watersports on offer paddle boarding kayaking etc. 15 mins drive to the Whitewater rafting centre ‘ would highly recommend this place! Then about an hour away to Penryhn Quarry to one of the ZipWorld sites again, outstanding for activities for the family. On top of that, Bala itself has some lovely things to offer. Restaurants including the top rated on trip advisor “Old Wives Tale” which is a quaint Portuguese restaurant where the chef is the waiter and host and it feels like you are dining in his house . Amazing. Towns of Betws Y Coed is worth a visit and also has another smaller zip world experience.

  We arrived late on a Friday afternoon, we had a look around the cottage and was disappointed with our first impressions.

  The first thing noted was the condition of the cooker top was dirty looking. We set about cleaning the c00ker top as best we were able. We then decided to inspect the bedroom and was really upset, the bed appeared to look clean but when we pulled the throw back there was several woodlice in between the sheets! we removed the bed sheets and noted a stain on the sheets and pillow. The issues with the woodlice did not improved. There were other items noted, one of the chairs was broken, the toilet seat was not secure, to try and resolve the woodlice issue we moved the bed and noted that the floor area below the bed was disgusting. There was a travel trunk in the living room which we moved to retrieve a pack of playing cards and it was also noted that the area had not been need cleaned. WE WOULD APPRECIATE THE OPPERTUNITY TO DISCUSS THESE ISSUES WITH THE OWNERS PRIOR TO DECIDING TO PUBLISH OR NOT PUBLISH OUR REVIEW.

  A great little cottage with character and history.

  Beautifully views and everything you would possibly want to do within easy reach by car. There was a dedicated grass and shrub garden a few yards from the cottage which could be used by the little house occupants with great views. Including front and back gravelled small garden with a washing line. There was a nice little kitchen with underfloor heating and items needed for your stay. Owner was very friendly and we're the family and were happy to help in any way. Open fire which was lovely in the evening and a couple of heaters as secondary heating. The bed was comfortable and had a skylight and old fashioned furniture which went with the character of the building. There is a field to run your dog when sheep are not present. I would stay at the little house again as it was quiet and remote but lots of interesting places by car and just what me and my dog Bruno needed. Just to get away for a week. Thankyou

  The cottage is lovely.

  Very clean. Pleased to see both pillow and mattress protectors. Milk eggs and Welsh cakes a lovely touch. Unable to connect to WiFi my iPhone did not detect the name of the WiFi and so more info needed. Shower head had to be practically vertical as too heavy for the arm also hard to regulate the temperature. Plug hole needs attention and sealant replacing. I used oven to heat through some cooked chicken and when I opened to check it the smoke alarm went off. Due to burnt on residue on roof of oven smoking. Positive at least the alarm works. It would be nice if there was an option to play music… I tried on my phone but due to signal not overly successful.. something like an Alexa. Maybe a wifi booster in the cottage? These are small easily fixed “ niggles”. Assuming theses done I would stay again.

  When we arrived the owner let us in and there was strong smell,that smelt like fresh varnish.

  I didnt mention it as I thought it would improve. It turned out that the smell did not disappear and affected my daughter and gave her head ache. I complained and was told the smell was from the boiler which had been serviced a week ago. They told me it should go away. It did not go away and they called out a plumber to look at it. The plumber agreed it was probably to do with it being serviced. I mentioned that they should have informed us of the strong smell from the boiler, owner was adamant he could not smell anything. I was disappointed with his attitude and response. The cottage itself was well equipped however it was dusty in places and there was evidence of woodworm in the beams. The upstairs toilet door and door leading into the kitchen kept jamming, which is a hazard.
