Liked: Absolutely love love love this site, we had the best few days away the fact it’s right on lake Bala, we went out on our kayak paddle board and did wild swimming jumping off the Jetty, 2 min drive into the village with pubs restaurants and mini supermarkets, 35 min drive into Barmouth where we took our bikes for a beautiful ride into Falmouth along the railway line, there is so much to do in the surrounding area will 100% be back, showers were basic but kept clean and always had warm running water,also lovely little dog field and park for the kids and really good signal for WiFi or 4g just the perfect place for adventures
Disliked: The weather in wales but that’s nothing to do with this site, just check weather before hand and take weather proof clothing and get out there and enjoy it
