Y Lle Hysbys guest annexe is on the outskirts of Bala in a quiet rural location, and can sleep two people. Surrounded by hills and fields, it makes a cosy and peaceful little base across the yard from our home within Eryri National Park. It is an ideal short break property to get away from it all for long weekends walking and exploring North Wales.
Y Lle Hysbys annexe is a separate detached building, and although we live on site in the main house, you can be assured of peace and privacy throughout your stay whilst knowing we're on hand should you need anything. Our guest annexe is in a very tranquil spot, yet with all the convenience of Bala town within only a few minutes drive.
The accommodation is all on one level (no access to the crog loft), and consists of one main living area with luxury handmade double bed for ultimate relaxation after a tough day in the hills! Two armchairs and a dining table. It has a bathroom and small kitchenette off the main living area. The size is similar to a hotel room but with the added benefit of a kitchenette and outdoor patio.
It is a former 'beudy' ( cowshed ) from the time when the house used to be a farmhouse, so it has a high beamed ceiling and is full of character. It makes a comfortable, affordable and convenient base for couples or solo travellers. The patio, with wooden dining bench and railway carriage garden room, is a lovely place to relax with a glass of something (or hot chocolate depending on the season!) after a day out in the mountains. Being south facing, the patio gets the sun well into the evening during the summer months.
Situated on the outskirts of Bala, it is close to Llyn Tegid, which is the actual name for what some people call ‘Bala Lake’ and you can walk into Bala in about 20 - 25 minutes or drive there in just a few minutes for a range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Llyn Tegid is about 25 minutes walk away or a few minutes drive. Bala is surrounded by the Aran, Arenig and Berwyn mountain ranges, and Cadair Idris is only a half hour drive away, so it is a walkers paradise with plenty to offer. Bala is on the final stretch of the Cross Britain Way so an ideal place to stay if you are following this long distance trail. Whichever direction you choose to explore is beautiful in every season. If you are looking to climb Yr Wyddfa, Llanberis is an hour away. This guest annexe is ideal for leisure walkers, hikers and bikers as well as anyone who likes watersports with it being close to Llyn Tegid. The National Whitewater Centre is also less than a 10 minute drive away for thrill seekers looking for rafting experiences along the Afon Tryweryn.

Notes
* VRBO have our map pin in the wrong place. The property is just beyond Bala Golf Club so around 20-25 minutes walk into town. We haven’t been able to get this corrected by VRBO. Unfortunately VRBO use AI to generate a description and because they do this, it states that the annexe is ‘situated on a lake’ we would just like to clarify that it isn’t.
* The fields around the property are grazed by very low numbers of calm cattle. Please be aware of the presence of livestock and the fact that the access track crosses one of the fields and is therefore part of the grazing area.
