House holiday rentals in Bala

We spent a fabulous couple of days at The Forge. The place is as described - very comfortable and fully equipped for an escape to the countryside. We loved the thoughtful welcome basket of goodies too. Set in extensive grounds and with plenty of local walking, it was a chance to completely unwind and relax. A big thank you to Mel, the property manager, who provided full and clear information and was friendly and responsive to our queries.

Totally exceeded our expectations! Janine is very, very helpful and quick to respond. The views are stunning. The place is better than the photos. It is so spacious and well equipped. Plus there is lots to do. We had two toddlers with us and they were never bored. Highly, highly recommend a stay here. I just wish we could have stayed longer.

Great stay, recommended. Will visit again.

We LOVED our stay here! The home is fabulous, so many spacious rooms to explore, each one decorated in a great way. The outdoor space is amazing, and was such a highlight of our stay, from the stunning countryside views, the lush pool, the immaculate sauna out building (a hot tub on the balcony or outside would be a cherry on top of a delicious cake). We also loved that the house was so well stocked in the kitchen and cupboards throughout the house, which made it easier and more enjoyable to just chill at the house. Everyone said that they're beds were super comfy too. The neighbours were very welcoming and helpful too, it was a lovely start to our stay meeting Les! It was easy to communicate with the host, and they messaged us 24 hours before check out to let us know we could check out later which was fab. Would definitely recommend staying here with a big group, plenty of space for everyone with a fab social dining table. Diolch yn fawr

Wow……one of the best places we’ve ever stayed in!! Beautiful lodge that was immaculately clean, lovely kitchen to cook in and the outside decking area was perfect to sit out and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We saw dozens of Red Kites throughout our stay which was a real treat as we’re big nature enthusiasts! We loved it so much that we’re heading back in just under 4 weeks time for 6 nights 😎 a real gem of a find, the golf club was very welcoming and the food was lovely! Really cannot rate this beautiful place highly enough!! Looking forward to the next one already!!

Absolutely loved our stay. Clean and had everything we needed. Check in easy and friendly. Large parking area, and pool for swimming if the weather is on your side. Views from the cottage fantastic on a clear day. Great location for access to Snowdon and lovely scenic towns to visit. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed here over February half term as a family get away of 12 people. The house was warm, cozy and inviting. It was like being at home. The upstairs lounge with views over the sea was a real show stopper! 10-15 minute walk to the beach and stunning views all around. Hosts were great with sorting a heating issue before we even arrived, great communication. Would highly recommend, and will be revisiting in warmer months to enjoy the pool.

The stay was great..she was very caring.The caravan was very clean and cozy.The place is wonderful around the mountain.We will definitely go back there

We had a great 3-night stay at Gill's property. The house was as described, had all the amenities we needed, and was very clean. Parking was easy outside the property, and it was handy having two small supermarkets nearby. Overall a good base for our adventures at Penrhyn Quarry and Llanberis.

Had a brilliant stay. Lorraine was an excellent host, full clear instructions on how to get to the air BnB, very welcoming and was great at communicating. The air BnB was ideally located for walks in Snowdonia, we spent three nights there. One room downstairs, very cosy kitchen and lounge, upstairs has a bathroom with shower and the bedroom with a comfy double bed. Had everything you would expect, really felt like a home from home. Would love to stay again.

My stay at Jonathan's was fantastic, he is a very kind and hospitable host. He provided many local recommendations for eateries and has a folder full of sightseeing (and history) in the surrounding area. The accommodation is cosy, very clean and had everything we needed. It is a very peaceful location where you can enjoy the sound of the countryside (plus a little car traffic but nothing that disturbs you). Thank you so much for hosting us!

We had a lovely stay here, Tania and Jonathan (and Mya the dog!) were lovely and helpful. Home was just as described, if not better! Would definitely recommend as an escape from a busy town! The turn onto the lane was a bit tricky to navigate and the wifi wasn’t great but the rest absolutely made up for it. A gorgeous few days! ☺️

We had a lovely 3 night stay at Wim’s place in its beautiful surroundings! So peaceful and it lets you really get lost in the Welsh countryside. The chickens are very friendly, along with the sheep and the two cats, very homely feel to the place. We loved just sitting in the lounge and taking in the views.

The house was amazing! Had loads of room in all bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, and living room for the 12 of us! Living room was perfectly sized for a big Jackbox game on the TV there. Everything was spotless. Organising the trip, and arranging check in and out was super easy. Location is stunning. Go Below is ~25 min drive away, kayaking was ~15 min walking distance. A few food options nearby & walkable. We all had such a great time, thank you!

The perfect getaway. We have recently had the pleasure of staying in Andrew and Sarah’s beautiful beachside cottage. The house was spotless with easy access and amazing over the bay. We stayed for four days and literally only left the house (apart from a few coastal walks) once. We spent most of the time was spent either reading looking out at the view or with our dogs on the beach which is a stones throw away. We saw maybe four people on the beach during our whole stay. If you are looking for somewhere private, peaceful and the perfect place to relax then I would certainly recommend. We will definitely be returning.

What a brilliant find! We had such a warm welcome and they were so responsive and helpful. The cottage was much bigger than the it looked in the pictures, really clean and had lots of amenities (we especially loved the Welsh cakes). The bed was incredibly comfortable. The games room and secure dog field were lovely extras. It's a beautiful location with so many activities and things to do around it. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Sam's place is an absolutely beautiful home away from home! It's a gorgeous house in the midst of Wale's magnificent nature and the perfectly peaceful retreat for exploring Snowdonia. We felt welcomed right away and loved how much love and attention to detail was put into the decoration of the house. Super comfy beds, a big kitchen for cooking up some amazing dinners, and a fireplace that made the living room even comfier made our vacation the perfect break from busy city life. Highly recommend this beautiful home when you're visiting Wales!

We spent a lovely Family break at Sam and Deans secluded cottage. The house was increadibly clean and had enough space for all 5 of us plus our labrador. The garden space is spectacular and is fully fenced which meant we could enjoy the space with our dog without worry. The barbeque and outdoor space made for a lovely evening space and we were lucky enough to have great weather on our final night. Sam and Dean always responded quickly to our queries and were very friendly and polite. Given it is in the countryside be prepared to make friends with some bugs (this is literally the only negative we could find & certainly isnt the fault of the property).

We had an amazing stay at Alison’s place. It had so many amenities, beautiful views, and beautiful facilities. It was perfect for my in-laws, 2 teenagers, and my husband and I. We could walk into town, walk to 2 different beaches and it was also drivable to Snowdon. We left feeling thankful for such an amazing week!

The cottage was architecturally and practically so well formed for a lovely stay for two. We loved the coastal view from the cottage and garden space to sit out in. It was set in the historic town of Harlech just around the corner from the castle. There were good local amenities and some lovely local walks as well as being accessible to Snowdownia National Park hikes etc. The host was excellent at communication and made the process very easy .

It was a great place, well located for Shrewsbury town centre with a pleasant walk along the river to get there. I would definately stay here again. Note: finding the property can be tricky when following 'sat nav', and working out how to reverse a car into the off-road drive required a bit of strategic thought, but that all seemed to add to the experience!

Alan was so helpful & his place was a little gem. Super great location, lovely garden & great facilities with high pressure shower, cozy bed & beautiful scenery. Our doggos loved it too! Alan also gave us some fantastic walk locations while we were there, thanks so much Alan, we’ll definitely be back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing stay at Aled’s beautiful, modern upside-down house in rural Wales! The views of Snowdon were absolutely breathtaking—perfect for a relaxing escape. Aled was the ideal host: funny, friendly, and incredibly helpful with great local recommendations. The house was stylish, spotless, and perfectly equipped for a comfortable stay. Can’t wait to return!

Peaceful, cosy cottage ideally located for exploring Snowdonia. The cottage was perfect for our 3 nights stay - clean, tidy, comfortable, easy to park with private entrance to cottage.
