Overview
Property code: OC-75289

This incredible country house, set in 75 acres of beautiful gardens and woodland, offers the ultimate getaway for groups of 27 and three dogs looking to celebrate a special occasion in the blissful North Wales countryside.

Bounding through the reception hall, your cheeky pup won’t know which door to open first as there are four floors of wonderful rooms! On the lower ground floor, Sir Barks-A-Lot will discover a 14-seater cinema room perfect for movie nights in. Leading the way back to the ground floor, Deputy Dawg will sniff out: a cosy snug area with Sky TV, sofas, a feature fireplace and wood burner; a separate large lounge with an open fire and seating for 20; a panelled games room with a snooker table, air hockey, table tennis and more; a stunning dining room with seating for all and an open fire; a second dining room; a library; a well-equipped kitchen with all the culinary essentials; a utility room with a washer/dryer; not to mention three bedrooms with en-suites. Woof! The stunning first and second floor offer a further nine bedrooms to set tails wagging and there are plenty of en-suites with WCs, two separate WCs and one main bathroom within the property, too. Outside, a private hot tub beckons and a table with chairs is a lovely place to enjoy a morning coffee. Your hound can explore the breathtaking shared grounds here while your group takes advantage of the water sports this property offers.

Your dog won’t have a moment to rest his paws with so much to see and do nearby. The market town of Bala is just 3 miles away, boasting shops and cafes; the National White Water Centre is 6 miles away, and Snowdonia National Park can be reached in 20 miles.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Lots of activities indoors and on the lake. Kitchen equipment excellent and with the river Dee running at the bottom of the massive garden, a pleasant walk. Absolutely quiet at night. The care taker was excellent and very attentive.

Ideal property for large groups, we had 4 generations staying. There's plenty of space, inside and out, and it is well equipped. Great location and water sports were especially enjoyed by the younger generations.

This is a superb property for large groups and our three generational family group of 23 liked it so much that we have already booked again for next year. Bodweni is very well equipped and, with so much to do on site, you don't really need to go anywhere else but, if you want to, there is plenty for all ages to do in the area. We particularly likeRead mored the fact that everyone had a proper bed (no sofa beds) and either a private bathroom, or a shared one very close by. Everyone, too, had a very comfortable dining room chair - no fold ups - and all 23 of us could sit round one table! The view from the house was beautiful and the outside seating area felt very private. This property lived up to all our expectations and everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Hide

A great location, and a property well set up for a large group of people - enough dining seats and sitting space for everyone. The house was warm enough, and well equipped for our needs. Lots of fun things to do - the games room, the cinema, the outside space etc. I think the property was refurbished to a high standard, but it's now a little worn iRead moren places and could do with some TLC, but nothing that spoiled our wonderful vacation.
