The property

Talar Wen is a charming house within Snowdonia National Park, perched in an elevated cul-de-sac position in Bala, Gwynedd.

With hiking routes from the doorstep and stunning views of the rolling countryside hills and Bala Lake, this retreat offers off-road parking for two cars and welcomes two well-behaved pets, making it ideal for family or friend get-togethers in this corner of beauty in Wales.

Enter into the heart of the home which is undoubtedly the sitting room that seamlessly blends into the sun-room, complete with a Smart TV and plush seating, that invites you to relax as the warmth from the woodburning stove keeps your feet toasty.

Why not challenge your family to a friendly game of pool or a round of darts, where laughter fills the air and friendly competition keeps the holiday spirit thriving?

The oak-built sun-room, with exposed timber A-framed beams, boasts the other side of the woodburning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere no matter where you choose to unwind, also includes slate roof for insulation during winter and coolness in Summer.

Here, French patio doors lead out to both the front and rear gardens to invite in the crisp, countryside air.

When hunger strikes, head outdoors for a spot of alfresco dining, while you let the designated chef take control of the barbecue.

This outdoor space provides the perfect setting for relaxing under the starry sky with your favourite evening tipple.

For another option, the kitchen is well-equipped to rustle up some home-cooked delicacies, with a choice between two dining areas to enjoy your meal, both tables awaiting long dinner party natter and family bonding.

When sleep calls, choose between three tastefully-presented bedrooms; a ground-floor double, adorned with a patio door leading out to the garden to enjoy your morning coffee away from the crowds, a snug twin room, or a super-king-size, which can be converted into a twin upon request, boasting dual aspect windows offering breathtaking views of the rolling countryside.

The property is adorned with local scenery pictures, adding a touch of local charm to your stay.

The bathroom is a haven of relaxation, equipped with a bath for a leisurely soak, or if you are short on time, a quick rinse in the walk-in shower, before beginning your day of adventures.

For those who can pull themselves away from this exquisite dwelling, a wealth of local attractions awaits.

Immerse yourself in the excitement at the National White Water Centre, a venue offering thrilling water-based activities ideal for adrenaline enthusiasts.

A short drive will take you to Rhiwagor Waterfall, a local hidden gem where you can marvel at the raw beauty of nature.

To delve further into the rich local history, head to the Canolfan Pererin Mary Jones Pilgrim Centre, where you can immerse yourself in the tale of Mary Jones and her historical journey.

Lastly, don't miss the opportunity to visit Bala Lake, Wales' largest natural body of water, perfect for a picnic, a picturesque walk, or even a spot of sailing and water-sporting adventures.

Talar Wen offers a perfect base to relax and share unforgettable moments after each day of exploration in the breathtaking Snowdonia National Park.

About the location

BALA

Corwen 11 miles; Dolgellau 18 miles; Llangollen 22 miles; Betws-y-Coed 29 miles.

The bustling market town of Bala lies within the beautiful Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and is located at the head of Llyn Tegid, Bala’s famous lake, which is the largest natural lake in Wales and home to a unique fish called the Gwyniad, a relic of the Ice Age. Renowned as a centre for great watersports including fishing, sailing, canoeing, windsurfing and whitewater rafting, Bala is also the headquarters of the narrow gauge Bala Lake Railway. The town itself is steeped in history and has a range of interesting shops, inns and restaurants, and an historical Town Walk. Surrounded by the wonderful Berwyn Mountains on one side and the beautiful Eryri (Snowdonia) Mountain Range on the other, this is a mecca for climbing, walking, mountain biking and many other outdoor activities. An ideal location for touring all of North and Mid Wales including the stunning Cambrian Bay Coast with the six-mile long Harlech Beach, overlooked by its majestic medieval castle. A truly wonderful part of Wales catering for all interests.
