Vacation Rental Description
'Lake View’and 'Barn Owls' provide a quiet peaceful haven from the pressures of modern life set amid the stunning scenery of the Snowdonia National Park.
The cottages are located in an elevated position at the head of a meadow close to the shore of Bala Lake (Llyn Tegid) and have unrivalled views across the water to the mountains of Southern Snowdonia.
The cottages are part of a former stable block and have been sensitively converted to retain much of the original character whilst providing cosy, welcoming accommodation and comfortable, modern facilities.
There is plenty of secure parking in the rear courtyard with ample space for boat trailers, canoes etc.
Wildlife is abundant. Red kites and buzzards are often seen and heard wheeling overhead, whilst foxes and badgers are frequent visitors to the adjacent meadow.
Despite the feeling of solitude, the cottages are not isolated. The market town of Bala is just over half a mile distant and has excellent facilities with a good range of craft shops, restaurants, pubs and leisure centre.
Lake Bala is the largest natural lake in Wales and is widely recognised as an area of outstanding natural beauty and is also deservedly renowned amongst water sports enthusiasts.
For the energetic visitor, not wholly content to simply unwind and soak up the atmosphere, there are wonderful country walks and cycle rides from the cottage doorstep. Anyone seeking a little more adrenalin is well catered for with white water rafting, fishing, canoeing, sailing and climbing all available in the immediate area.
Bala provides an excellent touring base for exploring the many attractions of Snowdonia and the lesser known rocky coves and sandy beaches of the Mid Wales Coast.
