"Mawnog Fach is a beautiful bungalow in an excellent location."
The bungalow had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. Rachael the host was brilliant with her communication prior to our arrival and our little welcome gifts were a very nice touch. This was our second stay at Mawnog Fach, and I am trying to work out when I can book my third stay there!

"What a fantastic beautifully decorated and equipped bungalow."
The pictures don't fully do it justice. Situated in a very quiet cul-de-sac and literally 2 minutes walk (across the road) to Bala Lake and the leisure centre. The town centre is no more than a 5 minute stroll and has plenty of bars, restaurants,(all are dog friendly), take aways a Co-op and Spar together with a small selection of traditional shops. Check out the Welsh Ice cream. The narrow gauge railway is worth a trip, travelling through the beautiful Welsh countryside. You can walk to the station (just follow the lake round to the left of the leisure centre taking about 20 minutes leisurely stroll. Anyone with an electric vehicle there is a charging point on the Green carpark at the far end of the town which is walkable in 10 minutes.Currently there is 1 CSS 50kW and 1 type 2 22kW socket available provided by SWARCO e-connect. There are also 2 new charge points at the leisure centre which at the time of writing were not operational. Many thanks to the owner Rachael, who is available if you have any questions. The perfect break.

"The property was immaculate."
We walked into such a clean, warm house. The owners Rachael and Geraint are extremely gracious. Rachael was responding to every message and helping us out with all of our queries. The house is nicely tucked in between the beautiful landscape of the Snowdonia national park. We had a great time staying here and hope to return soon.

"Lovely bungalow, beautifully appointed."
Found the beds really comfy but the sofas were really uncomfortable. Some instructions on use of TV and cooker might be useful.

"Cottage feels brand new, comfy beds and good facilities."
(An extra garden chair such as a lounger would be great and instructions for the washer dryer as I couldn't open the door but that's on me!). It was a great property and we enjoyed our stay very much.

"My family and I (2 adults, 2 children and a dog) booked a very last minute holiday and found this gorgeous bungalow in Bala, North Wales."
We literally booked our trip in the morning and the owners were very accommodating by agreeing for us to arrive the same day. We were honoured to be informed that we were the very first guests to stay in the bungalow. It is located in a quiet cul-de-sac over the road from Bala lake with lovely views of the hills and mountains. The bungalow and facilities are all brand new - Rachael and Garaint have thought of everything! It is a light airy space and decorated to a high standard. We felt very cosy there. The shops and local amenities are a short walk away and there a beaches and lovely days out within driving distance. We would definitely recommend to stay here. Thank you Rachael and Garaint :)
Thank you so much for the great feedback, and thank you for being perfect guests! R&G Property Owner
