When the weather is warmer, open up the French doors to the enclosed garden and whip out the barbecue to enjoy a perfect summer feast on the picnic table while the children and dogs run around the lawn. After putting the kids to sleep in their twin room, slip on your bathing suits and relax in the hot tub where you’ll soak in the warmth of the water and the beauty of the scenery around you.

End your night with a quick rinse under the rainfall shower before slipping into a cushy king-sized bed in the master bedroom. You’ll find a handful of amenities at your disposal in the local town of Bala such as The Goat / Yr Afr pub offering heartwarming meals and a beer garden to enjoy your food outside when the weather permits.

You’ll also find some supermarkets to stock up the fridge and a collection of boutiques for all of your shopping needs. You won’t have to travel far to find fun activities as nearby there is Bala Adventure and Watersports Centre, where you can do canoeing/kayaking, climbing/abseiling, or hire a boat to sail across Bala Lake, the largest natural lake in Wales.
