This was the perfect get away, secluded from the hustle and bustle of Bala, but close enough to go and enjoy when wanted.The cottage was more than we honestly expected, and even though weather wasn’t the greatest, the cottage made it not feel that bad at all. Hot tub and games room are great additions for adults, teens and even the older age child. Being able to order logs and eggs and pay them was amazing. Nothing was ever to much trouble for them.
