  • "We had a fabulous long weekend at Arenig."

    As ever, Beatrice was extremely welcoming and the apartment was prepared to its usual high standard. The weather was kind so I was able to swim in the lake every day (twice, most days!), which meant I definitely made the most of the wonderful whirlpool bath for long hot soaks when I came back shivering... We'll be back next year to enjoy the excellent facilities and superb location once again. Really appreciate all the welcoming touches in the apartment as well - especially hot chocolate when it's chilly!

    Hello Rowena, Thank you again for such a nice review. Property Owner

  • "It is such a delight to stay here."

    This is our second visit and we look forward to staying here again. The place is very comfortable, peaceful and has remarkable scenery all around. The hostess is attentive, kind and careful. There is so much to do in the area we look forward to exploring more another time.

    Hello Alan, Thank you for taking the time to write a kind review. We are so glad that you can enjoy the surrounding places to visit and return to a peaceful and relaxing apartment at the end of the day. We take great delight when we have a return customer. Kind regards, Beatrice Property Owner

  • "We had a very peaceful stay made more interesting by the RAF flypasts and a chinook trying to dip its wheels in the water of the lake."

    The owner greeted us on arrival and made us very welcome. The apartment is very well maintained and accessible. The area is spectacular and the Bala Lake Railway which runs only a few yards from the apartment is well worth a visit.

    Hello Christopher, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Yes, the nearest airbase is 45 miles away from us. They do pass by once in a while, and when they do , it is quite spectacular. Kind regards, Beatrice Property Owner

    Beatrice gave us a warm welcome and everything about the apartment had been carefully thought about. We had everything we needed, and even the weather to relax in the evening sun on the balcony overlooking the lake. We hope to be able to stay here again.

    The view over the lake from our balcony was breathtaking. As there is no hob on which to cook a little bit of forward planning is needed if you intend to eat in. All other equipment is provided. The jacuzzi bath is fantastic, everything was spotless and The host Bernice was lovely and friendly.

    The owner was helpful and kind, offering to help if we needed. The location was perfect, just a few feet away from the water's edge. A wonderful place to sit and relax and watch how the scenery changed in the varying light conditions. We would like to go back again.

  • "A fabulous stay in a lovely location, with the apartment even better than on previous occasions."

    Really appreciate the welcoming touches provided by Beatrice, the host; tea, coffee, milk and biscuits mean you can unpack before stocking up on groceries! The spa-type bath is a wonderful place to soak after a swim in the lake; on this trip in May I managed six separate swims during our long weekend - access to the lake is really easy form the building. Oodles of hot water; big fluffy towels: brilliant. The gardens are looking great - the lakefront is now a quietly secluded spot to find some peace in nature, among the trees. The apartment itself is very well furnished, extremely comfortable, good quality fittings, duvets, pillows, sofa etc. Cleaned and presented to a very high standard. We had such a great time that we'll be back again in the autumn!

    Hello Rowena, Thank you for taking the time to write another beautiful review. We appreciate the fact that you noticed the improvements in the apartment, delighted that you found the apartment clean and presented to a high standard. We look forward in welcoming you again in autumn. Kind regards, Beatrice. Property Owner
