Situated in Bala and only 42 km from Lake Vyrnwy, Snowdonia Holiday Cottage features accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. With lake views, this accommodation provides a patio. The property is non-smoking and is located 43 km from Horseshoe Pass.

This is the second time we've stayed at Snowdonia Cottage (Glyn Mawr).. It is a beautiful cottage in an absolutely stunning and quiet location. If you want total seclusion and tranquillity, this is it. Simon is a great host/owner who is very quick to respond to any requests via the app. Donna, the housekeeper, is lovely, and she works very hard to ensure the property is immaculately kept. The cottage is minimally furnished, but to a very high standard of quality, comfort, and finish... To be honest there isn't anything that could top it; it's near on perfect in our opinion, and we'd return in a heartbeat.

    Cottage was beautiful with so much character, location was in the middle of rolling hills and really well equipped. Fine for us to be in the middle of nowhere and cook in together with family/friends. House was big enough for us all to be in with big rooms and bathrooms. Lounge and fireplace was lovely.

    The accommodation was brilliant and cosy, and it had everything that you need when travelling with the family. The host came to greet us even though we arrived late and made us feel very welcomed. The cottage is clean, the beds are comfortable, and everything you need is provided. The kitchen is very well equipped and they provided us with some basics for breakfast, which was lovely! The location is stunning, we will definitely come back if we have the chance. Thank you very much for a lovely weekend getaway!

    We loved everything about Bryn Melyn, welcoming hosts, free parking, clean and well equipped cottage to name but a few. There were other facilities on site, games room, hot tub, firepit, fishing etc but unfortunately we didnt have time to try these out, maybe next time !! Great location, picturesque scenery and a pub within walking distance - Bryn Melyn is a hidden gem. Shelby, our cocker spaniel was also made to feel very welcome. Thank you Steve and Gul for making my birthday stay wonderful

    Our family of 3 enjoyed our short peaceful stay in the cozy cottage. We appreciated that milk, bread, eggs & butter was provided when we got there because we didn't have the time to pick these on our long drive from London. The beds were vey comfortable with clean bed linen. The kitchen was well stocked with tea, coffee, oil and basic pots & pans. The private garden with hens was an added bonus. The location was ideal for us to explore the surroundings & Snowdonia.
