Property code: OC-BOW163

This wow-factor detached townhouse, on the edge of Snowdonia/Eryri National Park, offers spacious accommodation for a large group of fresh-air lovers. It’s in Bala, a historic market town with a strong and vibrant Welsh culture as well as outstanding scenery all around. The accommodation has an indulgent hot tub for soaking your limbs after satisfying days exploring the hills. It’s got room for up to nine guests over five bedrooms, and three of your canine chums are welcome to join in the fun.

The inside of this impressive three-storey building has been renovated to a high standard, with striking wooden ceiling beams and a cool grey colour scheme. You’ll do much of your socialising in the spacious, open-plan living area, which has ample room for humans and dogs to kick back in plus dual-aspect windows letting plenty of light in. There’s a TV with Netflix, a huge corner sofa for chilling out, and a ten-seater dining table for those big group meals. The roomy, modern and well-equipped kitchen is great for cooking dinners and preparing packed lunches for days out in nature. All the bedrooms and bathrooms are on the second and third floors. Outside, the small, enclosed garden has a hot tub, plus a storage area for bikes.

You’ll have shops and a dog-welcoming pub all within 300 metres from the property. As you’d expect from a national park setting, there are miles of footpaths and bridleways you can access from your front door. You could embark on a circular route around Bala Lake (0.5 miles) or take the dogs up to Aberhirnant (3.5 miles) to sniff out the scenic wooded paths of this national forest (a sure-fire pet pleaser).

Overall, the cottage had some good features but also areas that need improvement. On the positive side, the rooms were in good condition, towels were provided, and the hot tub was working well, which was a nice addition to the stay. However, there were several issues downstairs that affected the experience. The property would benefit from a mRead moreore thorough inspection and deep clean. The kitchen floor was very dirty, the pans are quite worn and may need replacing, and the sofa had visible stains and hair. There was also a noticeable odour of animal residue. In addition, a tie was left under the dining table, which suggests the cleaning may not have been fully completed. Access to the property was also a challenge, as entering was difficult due to a skip and larger vehicles parked nearby. With better attention to cleanliness and access arrangements, this cottage could provide a much more enjoyable stay. Hide
