From the moment we arrived we knew we were somewhere special. We relaxed after a 5 hour journey on the outdoor furniture and then unpacked. The owners greeted us with the most incredible traditional Welsh Bara Brith which was perfect. The location was also perfect with stunning views. The property had lots of character! The bedrooms were of a good Read moresize and well presented, and the beds were very comfortable too. It was great having a jacuzzi in a modern pod with bifold doors. Hide

We absolutely loved our stay at Cysgod Y Garn, from the minute we arrived we felt at home. Great instructions for finding the house and good communication throughout. The house was perfect with good sized bedrooms and very comfortable beds. Kitchen very well equipped. Lovely garden furniture which we were lucky enough to be able to utilise due to gRead moreood weather for time of year. The hot tub was an added bonus which we made good use of. Plenty of parking for 4-5 cars. Hide

Lynda

Stunning location, and beautiful property. Had a fantastic holiday and the accommodation was perfect for the whole family, ranging from 1 - 92 years old. There is so much to see in the area and beyond and Lake Bala is beautiful. Minor issue: Don't forget to bring some milk, tea etc to make a hot drink on arrival as none provided. Although there was a rather delicious cake left. Also need to bring kitchen roll etc and spare toilet rolls as only one provided for each bathroom.
