Aptly named, The Barn is a pretty single bedroom couples cottage - an annex from the main cottage - sleeping 2 in style, comfort and luxury. Nestled in a peaceful and beautiful spot at the South end of Llyn Tegid - the largest lake in Wales - and set in the rolling hills of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Ideal for lovers of the outdoors or as a weekend escape to the countryside, the barn is also dog-friendly.

An excellent space for those looking to experience the rural beauty of the wider Snowdonia and the National Park, The Barn is a peaceful base in a wonderful part of the national park offers an enormous variety of outdoor activities, walking trails, cycle tracks, canoeing, fishing, sailing, off road driving courses, pony trekking and golf to name but a few.

The cottage itself has a modern, open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner area with cosy log burner. The main bathroom has a bath with shower overhead. The first floor bedroom is reached via a staircase with alternating treads, which leads to a kingsize bed and spectacular views over to Bala Lake. Access to a patio with garden furniture and the use of garden area when the sun is shining is granted. Useful facilities include a microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine, TV DVD player. Aside from patio furniture there is a secure bike storage area also.

WiFi is provided throughout the property, and the cottage accepts one well-behaved dog at no additional cost. Bed linen and towels are supplied.

The property is found in the North Wales village of Llanuwchllyn, near Bala.

Bala itself is a small town in the ‘lake district’ of southern Snowdonia that’s a big outdoor centre, famous internationally for events like white-water canoeing, swimming, cycling and triathlons. But you don’t need to be an ironman to appreciate Bala. Its outdoors scene has a broad appeal, with a good choice of gentle as well as adventurous activities. Much of the action is centred on 4½-mile-long Llyn Tegid. Nearby River Tryweryn is another major aquatic asset, providing reliable white water, even during the summer when many rivers are low.

Bala is a great town for walkers. Paths include heritage and town trails and a walk around the lake (you can also ride along its southern shore on the narrow-gauge Bala Lake Railway). There’s great cycling too, with waymarked bike routes. Bala is steeped in Welsh culture and history – the Mary Jones World at nearby Llanycil tells the inspirational story of 15-year-old Mary Jones who walked 26 miles across the mountains to Bala in 1800 to collect a Welsh Bible from the religious leader Rev Thomas Charles.
