“A Little Treasure in a lovely spot.” We just returned from a 4night break here. 3 good sized double/twin bedrooms - one ensuite double on the main level, perfect for my 85 y/o mother-in-law. two more twins down the spiral staircase. The one that isn't ensuite may as well be because it's so private. Lounge and kitchen are cozy but well supplied. very quiet and private, but so close to Bala that good legs could easily walk it in 10 mins. The owners are lovely and kind. We were greeted with a delicious fresh banana cake. This is a liitle gem of a place from which you can reach various National Trust properties.

“Fantastic cottage” The cottage is lovely and set in an excellent location for visiting surrounding area. We had an 8 month old baby with us and a cot high chair was made available for our use. We were made to feel welcome with a tour around the cottage and cakes on arrival. Would definitely recommend to others.

“Cosy Poor House” A warm welcome from Ray and Lindsay; which included homemade lemon drizzle cake, some general advice about the local area and more specific advice about local walks, pubs etc. Characterful house which was cosy but had plenty of space for our family group of adults and teenagers. Everything we needed for our short break. A car is required. Snowdonia and surrounding area is then within easy traveling distance. Lovely pub, with good bar meals Eagle Inn, Llanuwchllyn 10 mins drive away.

“Excellent place to explore north Wales” We stayed for a weekend to explore north Wales and relax. The cottage was clean and cosy. Excellent views and located next to the lake. Ideal for snowdon and other destinations. There was parking opposite the cottage and a BBQ area which would off been perfect in summer. Would definitely stay again.

“A beautiful cottage and excellent hosts” Split level ideal for family as each level had its own entrance door. It was cold but the heating worked a treat. It was ideal for exploring Bala and the surrounding areas. The owners made us feel welcome and our grandaughter loved feeding the Hens with Ray the owner.

“Wonderful, well equipped and comfortable cottage in fabulous location” We enjoyed a wonderful New Year break in a splendid location. Excellent location for exploring the area. Local town of Bala only a 15 minute scenic lakeside walk away. Made to feel very welcome and soon felt at home with all of the equipment provided.

“Quaint, quiet and relaxed - The Poor House” We travelled here in a party of 6. 2 couples and 2 friends. We had a warm welcome from Lindsay and Ray, they showed us round and gave us a thorough tour of the cottage. The bedrooms we nicely decorated and the bathrooms were lovely. the shower downstairs was ver luxurious with 5 adjustable shower heads. Just mind your head on the way into the cottage as the beams are low, we didn't mind this, it added to the character. The cottage had all mod cons. microwave, dvd player, tv, stereo. no wi-fi but it was nice to get it away from it all. We were also provided with complimentary tea, coffee and milk. We brought our dog at an extra £10 which seemed fair. The surroundings were beautiful too. views of the lake and a little church over the road. The lake was a five min walk away and the town of bala was close by with lovely little shops and pubs. No down points to our holiday here and we would definiately come back again. :)
