Nestled in a quiet valley high above the popular market town of Bala this beautiful stone cottage is the definition of quiet tranquillity. A steep private drive through fields of sheep leads up to this idyllic Welsh cottage. We pass a small wooden shed (where the washing machine and dryer is located) onto the slate gravel drive. I'll come back to the view later but the front door leads us into an open plan ground floor living space. This end of the room we have some lovely freestanding kitchen units. Simple clean lines dotted with quality fixtures such as the deep stainless steel sink and the cast iron gas hob. A reclaimed solid wood dining table sits to our left surrounded by traditional welsh country cottage chairs. Slate floor tiles, complete with under floor heating, leads our eye down to the wonderful log burner sitting within the large inglenook at the other end of the room. The inglenook in turn is flanked by a brown leather sofa and matching armchairs. Carefully chosen ornaments and lighting enhance the rustic charm of this cosy space. We turn back on ourselves to climb the painted white staircase up to the first floor. Straight ahead an oak ledge and brace door opens up onto a large bathroom. Clean white bathroom furniture with minimal fuss creates a space of simple elegance. A separate and large glass framed shower cubicle compliments a freestanding white ceramic bath sitting on marbled quarry tiles. We cross the landing to the other end of the house to get to the bedroom. A central antique double bed is adorned with a modern mattress and sumptuous bedding. A dark wood chest of draws acts as a stand for a second flat digital tv and more storage space is afforded by a pastel set of drawers and simple clothes rail. A maximum of 2 dogs are welcome at this property. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Gravel flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Fridge, oven, dishwasher, toaster](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92260000/92252800/92252751/7e5c96b0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Swn Yr Aber - Two Bedroom Cottage, Sleeps 4 Nebo - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 1 review £372 includes taxes & fees 2 Oct - 3 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-02&endDate=2025-10-03&selected=92252751&PinnedHotelID=92252751&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/65000000/64140000/64137200/64137130/90a53bd6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning cosy, pet friendly & peaceful 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage, fast WiFi Cwm Penmachno - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 144 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=64137130&PinnedHotelID=64137130&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114570000/114569200/114569158/2ef0f805.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ty-Mawr | Self Catering Stone Farmhouse near Bala, North Wales Llanuwchllyn - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=114569158&PinnedHotelID=114569158&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82800000/82795800/82795755/25a63c7e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Snowdonia Cottage with Stunning views of Bala lake and mountains Llangower - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=82795755&PinnedHotelID=82795755&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, toaster](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90010000/90000800/90000776/b3d0e4fd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ty Bont - Two Bedroom Cottage, Sleeps 5 Capel Curig - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 8.0 Very good 1 review £617 includes taxes & fees 11 Oct - 12 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=90000776&PinnedHotelID=90000776&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33710000/33701100/33701013/270-f7b8aaf9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Heart of beautiful Betws-y-Coed - well-equipped Victorian stone railway cottage Betws-Y-Coed - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 131 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=33701013&PinnedHotelID=33701013&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dishwasher, high chair](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111250000/111242900/111242831/7a0a496d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A charming cottage near Bala, offering private access to scenic farm walks.
