Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers unanimously mention the spotless condition of the apartment, indicating a high standard of cleanliness maintained by the host.
The property's lakeside position and proximity to Bala are highly appreciated, offering beautiful views and a serene atmosphere, though one mention of RAF activity slightly impacts the tranquillity.
Guests find the apartment very comfortable and of excellent quality, with a particularly comfortable bedroom view. However, there is a mention of steep access stairs that could affect comfort for some.
The apartment is well-equipped, but some guests missed having a hob and found the combination oven a bit challenging. The lighting on the access stairs could also be improved.
While guests speak highly of the host's friendliness and helpfulness, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

We particularly liked the view over the lake (visible from both the living room and the bedroom), and one evening we also had a spectacular view of the stars. We had not used a combination oven before and would have preferred a hotplate for some of our cooking. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. They responded very quickly when we needed help with something in the apartment.

No need to people or adult, just complete calmness that was much needed. Beatrice is a fantastic host, always on hand to help if needed. We will be returning soon to enjoy more relaxation. Thank you Beatrice Suze & Sel x
