About this property

Bala 7.7 miles. Craig Yr Ronwy is a well-positioned, delightful home enjoying lakeside views in Capel Celyn, near Bala, Gwynedd. Nestled in the stunning Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, Craig Yr Ronwy offers a large and well-equipped home for a family of eight, looking to escape the hustle and bustle with their furry companions in tow. Benefit from ample off-road parking, unload your belongings, and take a moment to breathe in the fresh, countryside air of North Wales. Step indoors and unwind in the sitting room with a crackling woodburning stove to light, ready to sink into the sumptuous sofas; with a second sitting room on offer, benefit from plenty of space, where you can spread out and relax, or make memories as an eight. Rustle up a family feast in the kitchen/diner, before gathering outside for an alfresco affair, with breath-taking views over Llyn Celyn and beyond. Upstairs you will find four well-appointed bedrooms, including a super-king-size, a king-size, a small double and a twin, all served by a sleek bathroom and a contemporary, ground-floor shower room. With Lyn Celyn on your doorstep, the property allows guests to walk alongside the reservoir, taking in the pretty scenery and walking through the trails to the picnic area, all within 1.7 miles of the property. Craig Yr Ronwy is also within driving distance of the adrenaline-filled activities of Go Below and Zip World, ideal for adventurous afternoons exploring the activities on offer. Once you’re ready to explore the local area, enjoy hikes around the lake, leading towards Llyn Tegid, where you can try your hand at a range of watersports, from kayaking to wild swimming; the National White Water Centre can also be found here, offering training sessions for rafting and white water sports. Take a walk through the town and explore the historic streets, filled with shops and independent eateries, where you can also board the Bala Lake Railway, offering nature-filled tours across the area. For keen hikers and walkers, the home is well-located between Arenig Fawr and Arenig Fach, two lofty mountains, offering elevated vistas across the national park, or for those looking for a challenge, travel further and summit Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the highest mountain in England and Wales. Further afield, you have the market town of Corwen, where you can take a step back in time and experience the rugged beauty of the countryside. Visit Dolgellau and its amenities or make a stop in the picturesque market town of Llangollen, home to the World Heritage Site of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal and the famous Llangollen Wharf. Take the time to explore this stunning region of North Wales, from the rolling countryside to the tranquil lakeside retreat at Craig Yr Ronwy.

The bustling market town of Bala lies within the beautiful Snowdonia National Park and is located at the head of Llyn Tegid, Bala’s famous lake, which is the largest natural lake in Wales and home to a unique fish called the Gwyniad, a relic of the Ice Age. Renowned as a centre for great watersports including fishing, sailing, canoeing, windsurfing and whitewater rafting, Bala is also the headquarters of the narrow gauge Bala Lake Railway. The town itself is steeped in history and has a range of interesting shops, inns and restaurants, and an historical Town Walk. Surrounded by the wonderful Berwyn Mountains on one side and the beautiful Snowdonia Mountain Range on the other, this is a mecca for climbing, walking, mountain biking and many other outdoor activities. An ideal location for touring all of North and Mid Wales including the stunning Cambrian Bay Coast with the six-mile long Harlech Beach, overlooked by its majestic medieval castle. A truly wonderful part of Wales catering for all interests.

    Great place fantastic views from inside and outside of the property within easy travelling distance to scenic places waterfalls mountains forests also 5min Walk to local reservoir and picnic area Inside the property was very clean and welcoming and homely with everything that we needed outside was good with seating areas to front and back to take in the stunning views would highly recommend would stay again

  • Anne

    We enjoy cooking together and the kitchen was ideal for that with everything you could possibly need. The views were stunning and the area is absolutely gorgeous. We couldn't find a way to walk around the nearby reservoir but it didn't affect our stay. There were sheep all around so we kept our dogs on the lead outside. Only small criticism is the farmer's dogs are kept outside very close to the house and they barked a lot. Luckily our dogs didn't react. Highly recommend staying there.

    Fab shower! The views from the property are stunning too.. Our only problem was the hot water boiler kept going off ( not nice when your in the shower) but we had to keep re setting it . This did not spoil our holiday we had a lovely time exploring north Wales for 2 weeks. Thankyou to the owners for sharing this lovely property.
