    “We had a lovely relaxing stay Vyrnwy Lakeside, our apartment was small and cozy with all that we needed.”

    The shower was one of the best showers I've had, nice and powerful. The view on the decking/balcony are just gorgeous. Perfect for a chilled relaxing getaway. Beatrice was a wonderful lady giving us lots of information and her number incase we needed anything. Thank you and would definitely recommend.

    Hello Natalie, Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review. Vyrnwy is our only studio apartment, nevertheless it has a good size balcony where you can enjoy the morning sun and still have a good view of the lake. Thank you for recommending us. Kind regards, Beatrice Property Owner

Glan Y Gro Apartments

Set in a spectacular position on the lakefront of Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake), a Site of Specific Scientific Interest and Special Area of Conservation, in Gwynedd and the Snowdonia National Park is the Glan Y Gro Apartments. Encompassed by 4.5 acres of woodland, these apartments make lovely bases from which to explore this scenic area, whether you’re a couple, a group of couples, or friends getting together but enjoying your own space throughout your break. Each with a balcony of their own, the apartments are ideal for avid birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, with an abundance of wildlife to gaze upon, including otters and their young splashing around the shallows, buzzards, herons and owls that frequent the area, and you may even catch sightings of mergansers and goosanders, and eagles. We are conveniently located where a few points of interest are no more than one hour’s drive away from us. Take advantage of your surroundings with a swim in the lake, or a day of fishing, sailing or kayaking/canoeing, as long as you have purchased the correct permit! The well-known Bala Lake Railway is within reach and a popular attraction in the area, which happens to pass through Glan Y Gro. Bala is just a stone’s throw away, while the towns of Barmouth, Dolgellau and the former mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog are just a scenic drive away. History buffs will love day trips to National Trust’s Ysbyty Ifan, Conwy and Caernarfon’s castles and Rhug Chapel, as well as the unique Italianate village of Portmeirion. Thrill-seekers however, may be more interested in an action-packed day at Zip World Slate Caverns and reaching the summit of the iconic Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon). The area as a whole makes the perfect outdoor experience, with a wealth of elite walking paths and trails, including The Arans, the Arenigs and the Berwyns nearby. For a welcoming break where no two days look the same, book the Glan Y Gro Apartments.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
