Forestry cottage is in a wonderfully quiet location with walks from the doorstep but only a short drive from Bala.. It is extremely well equipped with excellent WiFi. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Forestry Cottage is located in a peaceful area surrounded with trees and little river is passing by. Untouched natural beauties are everywhere around the cottage.

We requested a stair gate but it was fitted at the top of the stairs - we needed it at the bottom to stop little one going upstairs - the general standard of cleaning was very poor - there was what looked like mouse droppings in the kitchen cupboard & inside a cooking dish (we have taken photos).. In the bunk bedroom there were hairs & some stains on the pillowcase & sheet & a pair of someone’s socks actually in the bed! We feel we overpaid for what we got. It is not toddler friendly. The property is in a lovely location but we left a day early. With the problem of no fresh running water we did not have a pleasant experience

A second toilet would really benefit this cottage.. However, we still had a brilliant time and it would not stop me going again.

Foresty Cottage is idyllic. The accommodation is so comfortable and the situation is so peaceful. Loved waking up to the noise of the stream and total tranquility. Extremely well equipped. Loved the woodburner.

The directions for the property were spot on and the pictures alongside were a great help. The games cupboard was brilliant and we played something every day. The location of the cottage was amazing. We just loved everything about it!

A comfortable cottage in a very picturesque location. The cottage has all you need for a stay away from home, including the little things you don't always find.

Very quiet and tranquil location, great all rounder no matter what time of year you wanted to holiday. Good spot for exploring a number of local attractions, walks or cycling whatever you wanted to do. Forestry Cottage is well appointed, everything is in very good condition, the garden would have been lovely to use had we of had the right weather!!

Mr Williams

The cottage is set in a beautiful and peaceful location with birdsong and the sound of the stream to wake up to in the morning. The cottage provided an idyllic base from which to explore the surrounding areas.

This Cottage is in a lovely quiet tranquil location, but only a few minutes from Bala, with stylish modern decor and furniture and a comfy feel. We felt that the kitchen was particularly well equipped with a really high standard of appliances etc. This made it a real pleasure to cook and eat in the Cottage. Lots of things about the Cottage felt really well thought out and there had clearly been a lot of attention to detail which helped make the stay comfortable and feel more like a home from home than a standard holiday rental. The Cottage certainly felt friendly and welcoming to come back to after a long day on the Eisteddfod Maes or exploring the area. Our very favourite part of staying here was opening the double glazed windows in the morning to listen to the sound of the stream outside and to the birdsong coming from the trees.
