    “This was our second stay and just like the first time last year it was wonderful being at the cottage.”

    It's clean, equipped with everything you could need, the hot tub is amazing with incredible views, and it's a warm and very comfortable place to spend a week. The welcome basket plus the card from the owners was a really lovely extra touch and very appreciated. This is a great value property and especially great for dogs, I couldn't recommend this place enough. We will no doubt be booking again for next year! :)

    Hi, thank you both for your lovely comments and review, we were elated when we realised that you were a returning guests. (hence the additional bottle of fizz) added to the welcome basket that we leave for our guests . And we hope your dogs enjoyed the treats left for them too - can't leave the pets out . It is good that you had the opportunity to use the hot tub as the weather has been very unpredictable the last few weeks. We look forward to welcoming you again soon regards Keith & Tracy Property Owner

The property

Nestled in a rural location, encompassed by the tranquillity of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, in Capel Celyn near Bala, Gwynedd is Hen Dy Craig Yr Ronwy.

This idyllic, stone-built cottage benefits from a fabulous location within the adventure-filled national park, breath-taking views over Afon Tryweryn, a charming interior adorned with characterful features and four well-appointed bedrooms; the perfect choice for families and friends looking to explore the wonders of North Wales.

Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and step straight into the welcoming sitting room where you can unwind in front of the gentle warmth of the woodburning stove.

Later, head into the kitchen/diner where you can help rustle up a hearty meal for the full family that can be enjoyed around the dining table.

After dinner, step outside to the private patio where you can savour evening drinks or jump in the hot tub for a soothing soak while you admire the spectacular views of the lake below.

When the evening draws to a close, freshen up in either of the bathrooms or ground-floor shower room before heading upstairs to choose between two king-size or two doubles with TVs.

Venture to the nearby village of Bala where you can stock up on all of your self-catering essentials at the local store or simply enjoy a much needed break from the kitchen with a delicious meal out at The White Lion, Plas Coch Hotel and the Plas Yn Dre, or if you fancy a specific cuisine, try Cwrt for Italian or Bala Spice for Indian.

Bala is also the perfect spot for outdoor enthusiasts thanks to its setting on the banks of Bala Lake, where the daring among you can take to the water on kayaks, paddle boards or canoes; a truly unique and memorable way to admire the breath-taking views across the lake.

Conveniently stooped between two mountains, Arenig Fawr and Arenig Fach, the cottage also makes an ideal base for keen walkers and hikers to explore the picture-perfect scenery.

The National White Water Centre also lies nearby and offers thrill seekers a chance to take on the white rapids with white water rafting training available.

Walking, cycling and hiking routes are also in abundance offering stunning attractions of views at their end, visit Pistyll y Cain Waterfall, Blaenau Ffestiniog Waterfalls or even try to summit Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) itself!

Adventure awaits at Hen Dy Craig Yr Ronwy!

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £450.

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 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 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.
