Poachers Pocket - Luxury Holiday Apartment in Bala
Cottage with 3 Bedrooms, Sleeps 6, Garden
Poachers Pocket is a spacious yet cosy self-contained luxury apartment formed from the middle and upper floors of the north wing of Cyffdy House and is dated at 1888. It was formerly the servants’ quarters and grain store and has its own private rear access – although on the middle floor of the house, curiously still at ground level and easily accessible to guests with limited mobility.
