    “The house was immaculate and beautiful, large and very well equipped.”

    We enjoy cooking together and the kitchen was ideal for that with everything you could possibly need. The views were stunning and the area is absolutely gorgeous. We couldn't find a way to walk around the nearby reservoir but it didn't affect our stay. There were sheep all around so we kept our dogs on the lead outside. Only small criticism is the farmer's dogs are kept outside very close to the house and they barked a lot. Luckily our dogs didn't react. Highly recommend staying there.

The property

Bala 7.7 miles.

Craig Yr Ronwy is a well-positioned, delightful home enjoying lakeside views in Capel Celyn, near Bala, Gwynedd.

Nestled in the stunning Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, Craig Yr Ronwy offers a large and well-equipped home for a family of eight, looking to escape the hustle and bustle with their furry companions in tow.

Benefit from ample off-road parking, unload your belongings, and take a moment to breathe in the fresh, countryside air of North Wales.

Step indoors and unwind in the sitting room with a crackling woodburning stove to light, ready to sink into the sumptuous sofas; with a second sitting room on offer, benefit from plenty of space, where you can spread out and relax, or make memories as an eight.

Rustle up a family feast in the kitchen/diner, before gathering outside for an alfresco affair, with breath-taking views over Llyn Celyn and beyond.

Upstairs you will find four well-appointed bedrooms, including a super-king-size, a king-size, a small double and a twin, all served by a sleek bathroom and a contemporary, ground-floor shower room.

With Lyn Celyn on your doorstep, the property allows guests to walk alongside the reservoir, taking in the pretty scenery and walking through the trails to the picnic area, all within 1.7 miles of the property.

Craig Yr Ronwy is also within driving distance of the adrenaline-filled activities of Go Below and Zip World, ideal for adventurous afternoons exploring the activities on offer.

Once you’re ready to explore the local area, enjoy hikes around the lake, leading towards Llyn Tegid, where you can try your hand at a range of watersports, from kayaking to wild swimming; the National White Water Centre can also be found here, offering training sessions for rafting and white water sports.

Take a walk through the town and explore the historic streets, filled with shops and independent eateries, where you can also board the Bala Lake Railway, offering nature-filled tours across the area.

For keen hikers and walkers, the home is well-located between Arenig Fawr and Arenig Fach, two lofty mountains, offering elevated vistas across the national park, or for those looking for a challenge, travel further and summit Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the highest mountain in England and Wales.

Further afield, you have the market town of Corwen, where you can take a step back in time and experience the rugged beauty of the countryside.

Visit Dolgellau and its amenities or make a stop in the picturesque market town of Llangollen, home to the World Heritage Site of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal and the famous Llangollen Wharf.

Take the time to explore this stunning region of North Wales, from the rolling countryside to the tranquil lakeside retreat at Craig Yr Ronwy.
