This Bala cottage is in a superb central location, set back from the main part of the town, but only a two-minute walk to pubs, restaurants, shops and the famous lake.

The place itself is so close to the High Street, yet very quiet inside, lovely and warm and cosy yet plenty of space for 2. The instructions for getting the keys and other items were spot on, the car parking allocation was perfect and the bed and shower exactly what was needed after some stunning walks in the local area. Canât fault the place and would definitely return. Thank you!
