Home description

Designated an area of outstanding natural beauty,some 5 miles east of Bala and adjoining the Snowdonia National Park,it is the perfect location for either that relaxing holiday,or,for exploring the grandeur of North Wales and what is possibly one of the most hauntingly beautiful areas in Europe.

The farmhouse is peacefully situated in 12 acres of attractive wooded grounds with picnic areas,surrounded by pastureland and enjoying 3/4 mile of its very own private fishing on the River Dee.

Bryn Melyn lies within a beautiful landscaped garden including a stunning tiered lower garden with freshwater stream serving a series of pools and ponds with many seating areas overlooking the sloping lawns and heather beds.If you have become just too relaxed,then just step outside the farmhouse through one of the french windows and sit on the glorious stone patio,enjoying the panoramic views from this idyllic spot whilst enjoying a drink, a meal, a book or all three.!Also hidden in this breathtaking garden is the tennis court,where those of a more energetic disposition can fill their lungs with some of the freshest air in Britain!
