Quiet remote farmhouse

We had a lovely relaxing week at the farmhouse. We climbed Snowdon, kayaked on Lake Bala and had wonderful fish and chips at Barmouth. Megan was very helpful during our booking and stay at the farmhouse. The location is just as described, lovely quiet and remote. Would recommend this house to anyone wanting a relaxing base to explore this area of Wales.

So good it's our third visit Plas Madog

Wonderful relaxing holiday. This time we visited Llyn Vyrnwy Dam, Plas Newyyd on Anglesey, walked up Snowdon, took a ride on the Ffestiniog Railway, visited Bodnant Gardens, Caenarfon Castle and the Four Waterfalls in the Brecon Beacons on our way home. Impossible to pick a favourite and the farm house is just a wonderful place to stay with everything we needed in glorious countryside.

Perfect and Peaceful

My family and I had a wonderful 2 weeks staying at the Farmhouse in Bala. Meghan was a wonderful host and very helpful throughout our stay. The Farmhouse was spotlessly clean and a very relaxing place to stay. The surroundings are stunning. There is plenty of things to do in Bala and the surrounding areas. We enjoyed Bala lake, white water rafting, climbing Snowdon and plenty of days out at Barmouth beach. One of the nicest holidays we have ever had and that is mainly due to the Farmhouse and its wonderful surroundings. Highly recommend this property and look forward to returning soon.
