    The beds are comfy and having a cuppa in bed looking out on the lake is just perfect the Welsh cakes, milk and wine were very welcome the owners unobtrusive but friendly. Lots of walks and fresh air we loved it so much we booked for next year before we left.

  • "This property has fantastic views."

    The lovely owners live behind the 3 cottages, but do not intrude unless you need them. We thought the fact that the three cottages adjoin might be a problem, but it wasn’t, we only heard the occasional noises through the wall and actually really enjoyed getting to know our next door neighbours.

  • "What an amazing cottage!"

    Had everything, and more, that you could possibly need. Towels & hand soaps in all 3 bathrooms, washing-up liquid, sponge, tea towels, tin foil, sandwich bags, tea, coffee, sugar, salt & pepper, bottle of wine and long life milk in the fridge plus Welsh cakes - never seen a cottage so well stocked. It was immaculate when we arrived, the beds were very comfortable and everything suited us as a family of 4 - that's my elderly parents, myself and my 14 year old son (plus our cocker spaniel) so effectively 4 adults! The view of Lake Vyrnwy was simply breathtaking. We could just look at it for ages. We certainly hope to visit again, my dad's health permitting. We highly recommend staying here, you will not be disappointed.

  • "The cottage has been prepared to a very high standard, with 3 quality bathrooms and a well fitted kitchen and 2 bedrooms."

    We were a party of 2 adults, 2 children and a dog and we enjoyed our stay very much (despite the weather). The view from the cottage, across the lake is superb. The only slight negative point is that there is no enclosed garden to let the dog out to, so it was always necessary to have him on the lead. Cannot fault anything else. Highly recommend.

    To be able to sit up in bed in the morning with a cup of tea looking out to the lake and the only sounds you can hear is bird song and sheep,not a single man made sound it must be like being on a remote island. We will be back!

  • "Stunning cottage set in the most spectacular location; the photographs on the web site don't do it justice."

    The cottage was immaculate, well equipped and cosy and warm. The beautiful woodwork in the cottage is first class. The picnic benches outside, overlooking the lake, are a perfect place to sit with a cuppa or glass of wine, so very quiet, all you can hear are the birds. Plenty of local walks and stunning drives to enjoy whilst en route to further afield destinations. We very much appreciated the kind welcoming gift of wine and welsh cakes and the essentials needed for a cuppa on arrival. We had a wonderful, relaxing holiday and hope to return again, bringing other family members. Cannot recommend highly enough! The Beese family.

  • "Beautiful cottage set in the most magical location - the views from all rooms of the cottage were incredible."

    Great facilities - the washing machine and tumble dryer and downstairs wet room was ideal after wet and muddy walks in the area and for sorting a very muddy cockapoo! Lots to do in the area I would recommend a visit to Bala lake and Llangollen. Only thing that would of been useful was a clothes airer and maybe something on the stairs - they are wooden and lovely but very slippery especially with the turn. We will definitely be back and will be recommending the cottages to friends and family :) thankyou for a lovely stay.

  • "An absolutely fantastic cottage at a very reasonable price."

    Recently renovated and tastefully decorated by the very friendly owners who live on site and whose son is responsible for the skillfull carpentry and beautiful woodwork in all three cottages. We were informed by the village shopkeeper it’s the only property overlooking Lake Vyrnwy other than the 4star Vyrnwy Hotel. The cottage is well equipped with everything you could possibly need on holiday. The views from all of the rooms are stunning (bathrooms excluded of course)! It rained just about every day we were there but it only added to the enchantment of the area. Our two dogs (A French Bulldog & Cavalier King Charles) loved it there plus their walks down the drive to the lakeside. The drive to nearby Bala is stunning with views over the local hills/mountains. We went out exploring everyday reaching as far as Llandudno on occasion but always returned to lovely warm and welcoming cottage. We are both in our 70’s and Having recently moved house and enduring all the stress involved in such a move we returned home feeling rested, refreshed and invigorated. We loved it so much we’ve already booked another week next March. Barry & Megan Myfanwy Cook

    The cottage was immaculate inside and when we woke the first morning we were taken aback by the views. We had a super cosy stay and enjoyed the surrounding areas too. We went for walks and to little villages recommended and loved coming back to the cottage at the end of the day. There was attention to detail and everything supplied that we would need on our break. Would highly recommend and will hopefully be back to stay again! Thanks so much, the Cherone family.

  • "We had such a lovely long weekend here."

    Thank you to the owners - the views and location of this cottage is spectacular and such a lovely place to be in autumn. Total tranquility away from it all. The only suggestions we have is is we couldn't find a chopping board or any egg cups also a maiden would be useful. But minor things ! It's a fair drive to a pub (which we knew) and planned to self cater for the majority of our stay. Thank you again for a blissful weekend ! We would love to come back.

  • "One or 2 of the double bed slats was loose and made a loud creak every time one of us got up during the night, which woke up the other one!"

    Needs fixing. In an ideal world the bed could be larger as there is plenty of space in the room (we are small people but others are not so). The bedside tables could be larger to accommodate people's night time things: medication, books, eye masks, water etc. It would have been better to have a wall mirror in the bathroom and a full-length mirror in the bedroom. Also there was no hand soap in the downstairs bathroom, which we regard as essential. The main TV could be larger and there should be obvious instructions as to where the router is for wifi. We didn't know it was there for a whole day until we discovered it behind a curtain! They might need to put a blind at the kitchen window as the curtains might get wet/stained. The kitchen needs to be better stocked - ie bigger pans, a colander etc. A kitchen bin just for recyclables would encourage people to recycle more. The newness of everything and level of workmanship that's gone into the house and the world-class views of course well make up for these details, but it's often the details that matter. Our hostess was friendly and very kindly allowed us to charge our car a couple of times. We left her cash to cover for this extra electricity use. We would love to go back one day - we had a very relaxing break.

    The owners were very attentive and had gone the extra mile to ensure our stay was memorable. On the day of arrival they had left all the essentials so we could have a cuppa straight away. They also left a bottle of wine and some Welsh cakes, which was a lovely touch. The property itself overlooks the lake which is very restful and the inside of the property was to a very high standard. We will definitely look to return in the future.

About the location

LAKE VYRNWY

Bala 13 miles.

This wonderful beauty spot is referred to as “a lake for all seasons”. It is situated just south of Snowdonia between the Cambrian Mountains and the Berwyn range. It was originally a Victorian man-made reservoir with a stone-built damn built in the 1880’s being the very first of its kind. Today, this beautiful and popular retreat is a National Nature Reserve, SSSI and a renowned RSPB reserve boasting a huge variety of birds and wildlife. The lake has a circumference of 11 miles which is all surrounded by wonderful scenic countryside including the 6000 acre Dyfnant Forest which is perfect for exhilarating walks, bike rides, bird watching or simply relaxing while enjoying a picnic. The local village of Llanwddyn is very small and pleasant and provides a pub, cafes, RSPB shop and craft and produce outlets. From this lovely location you can tour all of Mid Wales, the magnificent Snowdonia National Park, Powis Castle and gardens and delightful Shropshire. This is a perfect year-round location.
