When we booked our property and had a look at the reviews for it we werent sure if we could believe the very high ratings that had been left for it, especially after staying at other properties over the years and being a bit disappointed with what we had paid for. Boy were we nicely surprised when we arrived, the place is amazing. It was exceptionaRead morelly clean, really well equipped, comfortable, and worth the money. From the comfortable sofas, really well kitted out kitchen, amazingly comfortable bed, and superb bath and shower, to the wonderful location, it had all that we wanted and more. We will be booking again next year, and would definitely recommend it to anyone. It is a 3 minute walk to the lake, and a 30 second walk to the high street which has everything you would need, (we would recommend the Indian restaurant). The property has off road parking that means you dont have to fight for a space on the sometimes congested high street, and there are electric charge points at the lake. Do yourself a favour and book this place, and trust the reviews, you wont regret it. Hide

The property was very modern and clean with plenty of plug sockets in every room (something not often seen in holiday houses!). The underfloor heating was fantastic at warming the cottage up on colder days and we slept very well in the huge comfortable bed upstairs. We had no problems parking in our designated space despite worrying about being jusRead moret off the main road and the location was perfect for walking to the Co-op or other shops without having to move the car. As a base, Bala was great to drive in and out of for walks further afield and we'd highly recommend taking a boat out on the lake too. Overall a great stay in a well-kept, clean cottage that we would happily return to in future. Hide
