The cottage is cute and is a close drive to Bala. It would be have been preferable to be waterfront or have better lake access but the place was clean, the owners were nice and the area is still lovely. ##### Dan C. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Boris E. 27 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful stay We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It’s a small, but cozy and comfy cottage. It is equipped with everything you need for cottage life inside and out. The location is perfect. The lake is spectacular, and the beach is just across the road with a great swimming. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this cottage! ##### Boris E.
