We are inviting you to stay at our lovely self catering holiday cottage in Snowdonia National Park in mid Wales.
The house for rent, is a traditional, 3 bedroomed stone cottage (sleeps six), which we have painstakingly converted ourselves. It is situated in a magnificent valley and is surrounded by stunning Welsh hills. We also have views of the Llyn Ceyln reservoir.
This Welsh cottage is in an ideal position for exploring the mountain of Snowdon, which is situated close by. The cottage ideal for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It is situated in the Welsh hamlet of Capel Ceyln. It is set in 20 acres of land, which is ideal for walking and has a river at the bottom of the field, to which we have fishing rights. Our family has enjoyed many a happy hour here and we hope you do to.
The town of Bala is 6 miles away with shops, supermarket and leisure facilities.

We believe that the cottage is at least 100 years old. It has taken us 4 years to complete the total refurbishment & extension to the cottage. We have attempted to keep its traditional Welsh charm, while ensuring that it is comfortable with modern amenities.
The cottage has an open plan living area with a traditional wood burning fire. There is a pine dining table & chairs. There is a leather settee which converts into a double bed. There is a TV with video player and a small video library. We have Sky Satellite TV as there is no TV reception via aerial! We have a selection of old books for you to browse.
We have a fully equipped kitchen area with fridge freezer, electric cooker, combi grill / microwave and a Belfast sink. There is a breakfast bar area with stools and views of the Welsh hills. There is even a nice view for when you wash the dishes!
There are 3 bedrooms upstairs. At the back, with views of the hills, is the master bedroom with king size bed.
At the front of the house are two small single bedrooms. These have views of Llyn Ceyln reservoir. All the bedrooms have solid pine furniture.
The upstairs bathroom has a large slipper bath, toilet and a small Belfast sink. There is a roof window above the bath so that you can gaze at the stars while having a relaxing soak.
Heating is via the wood burning fire, a calor gas fire and electric radiators. We have a solar panel which heats the water.
Outside we have a private drive down to the property, via a farm gate and off road parking for plenty of cars. We have 20 acres of land surrounding the property that you are welcome to use for walking, games etc. There is a barn owl that sometimes comes at dusk and birds of prey that fly overhead in the day time. Just remember to bring your wellies as the land does get muddy and is undulated in places. We do keep honey bees on the land (approx 100 m from the house) but these are kept in a fenced area with warning signs & do not tend to bother people.
