Cottage was great. The sauna was an added bonus and we used it every night. The beds were soft and comfortable. The art tv app was unexpected but a great conversation starter. We really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect stay in Bala

Our stay at the cabin was perfect. The cabin was so well set up that our group could not stop finding new things that made the place exactly what we wanted while in town for a concert at the Kee to Bala. We enjoyed cooking in the fully stocked kitchen, meals on the deck and at the nice indoor setup, a bonfire, and the location was ideal for getting around town and to other attractions. Overall could not have been a better stay.
