Let your four-legged friend race about the garden and paddle in the river at this delightful Welsh hideaway in Llanuwchllyn. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom retreat is just 3 miles from the shores of Llyn Tegid, which is also known as Bala Lake. The cottage, which has private fishing rights, has a games room and a wood burner.

Head inside via the utility room, which has a WC, to dry your damp dog and put the towel into the machine. Wander through to the kitchen/dining room to feed hungry hounds and humans. Find everything you need in here to help you cook hearty feasts with the fresh produce you have sourced. While away your evenings together through in the airy, beamed lounge. Open the garden doors in here in summer so your faithful friend can pad outside, or light the wood burner in winter so everyone can bask in its cosy heat as they watch the Smart TV. Take your chum through to the conservatory, which has underfloor heating, as you relax on the soft seating here with a cup of tea. Open the French doors for some fresh air. Pat your pal goodnight at ground-floor level before heading upstairs to the bedrooms. These include a bunk bedroom, a king-size and a double. The family bathroom is also up here. Spend fine mornings out in the garden beside the River Lliw. Let your contented canine relax in the sunshine while you heat up the BBQ and the younger members of your party play in the games room.

Follow footpaths all around Llyn Tegid with your happy hound by your side. The entire route is 14 miles-long but you can pick and choose which sections to follow. Water-loving dogs are also welcome to paddle or swim in the picturesque lake.

This cottage is just beautiful and the surrounding garden is stunning. The sound of the river is so calming and the birds visiting are just lovely to see, especially if you keep the feeders topped up. We also saw lots of bats around the car port as it started to get dark, which was very entertaining. Some previous reviews have mentioned problems noRead moret having more control over heating, but we found the cottage to be very warm and cosy at all times and plenty of hot water. The beds are very comfortable and the shower is also very good. We liked that there was a full size fridge freezer and plenty of storage space for groceries, we had a Morrisonss food delivery on the night we arrived. We cannot wait to return to this wonderful property. Hide

Lovely place, oceans of space although we really ended up using just the conservatory and kitchen downstairs. Nice having the enclosed garden for the dog. Didnt see much in the way of birds/wildlife in the garden or fields but got to experience the river go from a barely a trickle to a raging torrent during Storm Floris which was something to beholRead mored. When at full flow the river noise is quite loud. Midges in the evening were annoying when sat out, so made use of the conservatory. Hide

We had a fabulous time at the cottage very cosy with the log burner, cottage was well equipped has everything you need, (home from home). The only thing we can say on the negative side is the boiler needs upgrading as heating was poor and not sufficient hot water to have a full hot bath, such a same as the is a lovely jacuzzi bath in main bathroom.Read more The owners left us a get you I pack of bread milk tea coffee and cake which we appreciated on arrival.

Super cottage, spacious, comfortable, clean - a totally relaxing space. The garden is lovely - secure for the dogs to have a run around. Location is great, lovely and quiet, no noise other than the bubbling river, but only a short drive to Bala, with some lovely walks on the doorstep. Lovely welcome package
