Pen- Y -Bont Cottage - A Luxurious Holiday Home In Snowdonia National Park

Llanuwchllyn, Gwynedd

Pen-y-Bont Cottage, a luxurious and fully restored home nestled in the scenic Snowdonia National Park near the market town of Bala, offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern amenities. This 250-year-old property, which translates to 'Bridge End' in Welsh, has a rich history, originally comprising four small peasant cottages. After years of dereliction, a local builder modernized and extended the cottage in the late 1990s, transforming it into a comfortable retreat that can accommodate up to six guests across three well-appointed bedrooms. The cottage features a king-size bed in the master bedroom, a double bed in the second, and two single beds in the third, all dressed in high-quality linen from The White Company.

The interior of Pen-y-Bont is designed for both relaxation and entertainment, boasting a fully fitted kitchen, a dining room, and a cozy lounge equipped with a 40-inch flat-screen TV, Amazon Prime, Netflix, and a PS3 game console, along with a selection of DVDs and board games. Guests can enjoy free WiFi, oil central heating, and a wood stove that adds warmth to the living space. The cottage also includes essential facilities such as a utility room with a washer and dryer, a bathroom with bath and shower, and a separate toilet on the ground floor. A portable cot is available for families traveling with infants, though linen for the cot is not provided.

Located in the quaint village of Llanuwchllyn, just five miles from Bala, the cottage serves as an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors can explore Lake Bala, one of Wales' largest lakes, where they can hire canoes and dinghies or engage in adventurous activities such as white water rafting. The majestic Mount Snowdon is also easily accessible for those seeking hiking challenges. For beach lovers, the picturesque bay at Barmouth is a mere 30-minute drive away, while historical excursions can be made to nearby castles in Harlech, Cricceth, Beaumaris, and Caernarfon, providing enriching experiences for all ages.

To ensure a warm welcome, guests are greeted with a complimentary 'Welcome Pack' that includes a bottle of prosecco, tea, coffee, and a basket of logs and coal to kickstart their stay. The area surrounding Pen-y-Bont is rich in attractions, including the Torrent Walk and Mach Loop for those looking to explore the outdoors, as well as the intriguing King Arthur's Labyrinth and Corris Craft Centre. For thrill-seekers, the nearby Zip World Llechwedd and Zip World Fforest offer exhilarating adventures, making Pen-y-Bont Cottage a perfect destination for a memorable getaway in the heart of Wales.
