“Great place for a family getaway.”

Amazing views and a perfect place for walks, I would definitely recommend this property to friends and family. Ideal to travel to other locations in Snowdonia, roughly 50 mins drive from Mount Snowdon, 30 mins drive from the coast, and plenty of other nice villages and walks that are not far away.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We are glad you like the house and enjoyed your stay. David and Lorna Property Owner
Anne September 2024

“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.

Brenda August 2024

“Everything was perfect the owners have gone above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible.”

I used to live here as a child and I’m very impressed how its kept its original character and its nicely done up . The garden was freshly cut everything was spotless in the house . My dad owns the sheep around the house and it’s nice that there are signs to ask guests to kindly put the dogs on the leads . I have 2 dogs who thoroughly enjoyed running around in the garden chasing each other . There is a handbook with everything you need to know internet code etc and also places to walk or where to go on days out . I would highly recommend Craig Y Ronwy you wont be disappointed. Thank you to the owners for allowing me to experience my childhood home as an adult .

- Brenda, August 2024

We can’t say how delighted we are that you came to stay. Your dad is a legend, he both welcomed and helped us. His commitment to the farm and his energy are inspirational. What a place to grow up! Glad you enjoyed your stay. David and Lorna Property Owner
Margaret August 2024

“The property was well equipped, lovely comfortable beds and modern furniture.”

Fab shower! The views from the property are stunning too.. Our only problem was the hot water boiler kept going off ( not nice when your in the shower) but we had to keep re setting it . This did not spoil our holiday we had a lovely time exploring north Wales for 2 weeks. Thankyou to the owners for sharing this lovely property.

- Margaret, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback, we are delighted you liked the house and enjoyed North Wales. Thanks also for providing further details of the boiler issue - the manufacturer has now replaced the faulty part. Property Owner

Jennifer July 2024

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

The house was really well equipped and felt homely. The views were outstanding and worth the trip alone. The garden (which was fully secure for our dogs) was a lovely spot to take it all in. No issues with the farm dogs for us, heard them a few times in the day but that was it. Would happily book again.

- Jennifer, July 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. The views are fantastic and we are glad you had everything you needed for your stay. We'd be very happy to have you back. Best wishes David & Lorna Property Owner

“A beautiful clean and very comfortable cottage with stunning views of the hills ...”

A beautiful clean and very comfortable cottage with stunning views of the hills and reservoir we loved it ,the only issue is the three sheepdogs 50 metres from the property which barked most of the night on our second nightI understand it can’t be helped but it certainly affects your sleep but apart from that it was lovely thank you

- Diane, July 2024

Thank you for your feedback, The surrounding area is stunning and we are glad you liked the cottage and enjoyed the surrounding area. The farm dogs are usually quiet at night so we're sorry they disturbed you on one night, something must have disturbed them, perhaps holiday makers at the nearby farmhouse. We can only apologise for this and are pleased you were happy with everything else. Best wishes, David & Lorna Property Owner
Annette June 2024

“Sadly we ended our holiday 2 days early, not because of the accommodation which was really good but by the 3 dogs that were caged within earshot of cottage and that barked almost constantly throughout the nights.”

When we would have liked to have windows open during the warm evenings they were kept shut, and even this did not stop the sound reaching the two main rooms. The lack of sleep was unbearable. Sad as the property is lovely and well decorated / furnished. Clearly this is an ongoing issue judging by similar comments in the visitors book.

- Annette, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback and we are glad you liked the property. I can only apologise that you were disturbed by the farm dogs, unfortunately this is beyond our control, as the house sits within farmland. They are usually quiet at night, as they tend to bark when people pass by. We will speak with the farmer. Property Owner

- Philip, March 2024

Alessandro February 2024

“The cottage is in the prefect spot to explore Snowdonia.”

It is well placed with beautiful views over the reservoir and hills. It is remote enough to make you feel you are away from it all, yet you can get to the shops in around a 10 minute drive if you need to. Inside it is really modern and clean. The owners have thought of everything and it is well equipped with kitchen equipment, books, games, DVDs etc. The sofas and beds are really comfortable. The only downside to this place is that at some point you will have to leave. It felt like a home from home. We have stayed in a lot of places in Wales and this is one that we will definitely book again.

- Alessandro, February 2024

Thank you for such lovely feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed your stay and we’d be delighted to have you back. David and Lorna Property Owner
Charlotte February 2024

“Beautiful and clean and cosy.”

Fell in love with the house and area. Will definitely be coming back.

- Charlotte, February 2024

Thank you for such lovely feedback, you were our second guest and this is the first time we have had a holiday let, so it's nice to know you enjoyed your stay. We fell in love with the house and the area too, and we would be delighted to have you stay again. Best wishes, David & Lorna Property Owner

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.
