This a beautiful property within walking distance of Bala. A lot of thought has gone into the cottage's decoration and it is well equipped and very comfortable. There is plenty to do and see in the area so it is a good base to explore Eryri (Snowdonia).

Somewhere you've never been? What is Nearby?
Bala
The picturesque market town of Bala is situated on the banks of the tranquil Bala Lake. It’s always popular with visitors and definitely worth visiting. “Bala” is a Welsh word that refers a route between 2 areas of wet ground, in this case the river Dee from Llyn Tegid and the Afon (river)Tryweryn. The town is very traditional, and ranks 11th in terms of the highest percentage of Welsh speakers; almost 80% of the community speak the Brittonic language fluently.
The Mary Jones Walk
This walk stretches for a total distance of around 26 miles, but its history is significantly longer than that. The walk is named after a girl called Mary Jones who, back at the very beginning of the 19th century, walked the entire distance of the route barefoot to Bala, in order to buy herself a Bible.
Llyn Tegid
Is Llyn Tegid found on the outskirts of Bala, or is it the other way around? Either way, the infamous lake - the largest natural body of water in Wales - can be found right here, on the shores of this historic market town. Nestled within the boundaries of the breathtaking Eryri National Park in North Wales, immerse yourself in the serenity and natural beauty of this picturesque region, where you'll find the immense Llyn Tegid. From its tranquil ambience to its exciting recreational opportunities, if you seek a peaceful getaway or an adrenaline-fuelled adventure, Llyn Tegid, and Bala, has something to offer everyone.
