About this property

Enjoy rural views and river sounds from this unique former railway station with games room and hot tub. The property is close to Bala and Snowdonia National Park, perfect for families, including the dog, to relax and be active

The former station is set in idyllic Fron Gogh, nestling between Bala s Llyn Tegid and Capel Celyn lakes, surrounded by the Arenig mountains. Stroll along the River Tryweryn, towards the National Whitewater Centre which is within a mile. Bala is just under 3 miles away, famous for its lake, which is the largest natural lake in Wales and home to a unique fish called the Gwyniaid, a relic of the Ice Age! Enjoy a ride on the narrow gauge Bala Lake Railway or visit the independent shops, eateries and the historic Town Walk. Surrounded by the fantastic Berwyn Mountains on one side and the magnificent Snowdonia Mountain Range on the other, this is a great destination for either a relaxing or active holiday. This detached, single storey former railway station is full of interesting features and thoughtful little extras to enhance your stay. Enter through the front door into the hall with space to store coats. Walk through to the stylish kitchen/diner with plenty of space to rustle up a meal with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Switch on the Smart TV to keep the chef entertained while cooking. When your meal is ready, gather round the dining table and enjoy the lovely views from the glass door and windows. After a full day out, relax in the comfortable lounge with sofas and Smart TV, there is also a wood burner for cosy nights in. When ready for bed, choose from three fabulous bedrooms: one double with en suite shower room and WC, one twin and the full size bunk room all have lovely views to wake up to. There is a stylish bathroom, with bath and WC, why not indulge in a leisurely bath to start your day. Outside you will find an enclosed landscaped garden with furniture and charcoal BBQ, making it a comfortable and scenic spot for al fresco dining. There is a hot tub to unwind in, and the former signal box has found a new lease of life as a quirky games room with pool table. The enclosed garden has stunning views where you can enjoy the sounds of the river, watch the wildlife and just relax. Take morning coffee on the former Great Western Railway's Bala Ffestiniog Line, which is no longer in use so no trains passing by! Why not enjoy a picnic by the river or on the lawn.
