Super easy check in, and the whole house was clean and ready for us. A good folder of information to tell us how everything works - always a great thing to have to hand!Great location with a 5-min drive to the lake which you could walk into (don't forget water shoes as rocky underfoot). We used the oven and hob a few times to make meals and everything we needed was provided - from a colander to a wok! The rooms were great for our family and again, everything we needed was provided.

Beautiful cottage

What can I say, excellent communication excellent comfy beds with lovely pillows and bedding. lots of little touches that made it special, luscious soaps and moisturisers at sinks. Easy to find, a nice local pub up the road in easy walking distance, also petrol station with shop and logs. Lovely views out to sheep fields. Colin and Amanda were extremely flexible and gave good suggestions on local places to visit and eat - the George 111 pub was perfect and delicious roast. Thank you for a wonderful stay we highly recommend:-)

Lovely Welsh cottage

The cottage has all that you would need. Clear instructions folder was greatly appreciated. The fact that the cottage is well over 200 years old is fascinating. Stunning landscape all around and easily accessible by car. Our teenagers preferred it over Chessington world of adventure!! One cheeky sheep woke us up at 1am😀 but the peace and quiet was lovely. We are already thanking when we can return. Many thanks. Lidia and the family x

A cosy and spacious cottage surrounded by lovely countryside

We loved Pen Y Bont - it is an old cottage with chatacter but has been modernised so makes for a perfect holiday. We felt at home straight away. It's spacious and clean and has all the utensils and practicalities you need. We ate in a lot and the quality and easiness of the oven made this worthwhile. There's also outdoor space - which is lovely when the sun's out. The internet connection via Wifi was really good - my son had some video calls for work and this wasn't an issue. The cottage is beside a main road, so there is a little traffic noise, but you're more likely to hear the sheep on the surrounding hills. Beautiful countryside around and a short walk to the nearby village and steam railway station. Bala is a few miles down the road and everywhere else we visited (Zipworld, Portmerion, Barmouth, Llanberris for Snowdon) was about 45 minutes to an hour's drive - as expected in a rural location.

Pen-y-Bont Cottage, in Bala was lovely, it was just what we were looking for.

Lovely place to stay, home from home, loved the Alexa, we had fun with that. It was a calm peaceful place and accommodating for walkers. There were four of us in our party and we all enjoyed and valued staying at the cottage.

A beautiful, luxurious home from home cottage

We spent three nights here and loved every minute. There are so many lovely additions that make this an extra special place. From the numerous board games, the great selection of DVD’s and TV channels to the lovely views, this cottage has it all. The first morning we were woken by the sound of sheep in the field opposite the cottage, the second morning by cows, it was lovely to hear them. The location is perfect for visiting numerous places, with just a five minute drive to Bala where you can find lovely cafes, pubs, restaurants and shops. The owners have thought of everything to ensure your stay is perfect. Looking forward already to our next stay in November.

Exceptional holiday cottage!

We all loved our stay at Pen-y-bont cottage. This cottage exceeded our expectations it has everything that a family require and more. Really good wifi kept the teenagers happy as well as the PS3 and Netflix. The kitchen has everything you can wish for ( a dishwasher) and the 4 of us found there was plenty of space to chill in this comfy cottage which has been well cared for. I loved the comfy beds and fresh white linens and towels. The location is a perfect base for country walks, trips to Barmouth and Zip World. The local store/pub "The Eagle" is friendly and I recommend the fish pie or vegetarian curry. We hope to be back very soon!

Fabulous first visit to Snowdomia!

We stayed four nights in Pen-y-Bont cottage in April. It’s a beautiful property, with loads of gorgeous traditional features . It had everything we needed and Amanda and Colin were excellent throughout with their communications. A big thank you and thumbs up for the wonderful welcome supplies too! The cottage has a lovely big kitchen with a dining table in, well equipped for eating in which we did twice. However we must give a shout out to the pub down the road The Eagles Inn where we ate twice- great food and even better still, they did a great vegan shepherds (and apparently the best steak and ale pie ever!). Thank you so much for our wonderful stay Anna and family
