Owner's Description

Our 150 year old railway cottage has been sympathetically modernised and updated with the latest facilities.

The Garden Room is a recent addition and provides superb accommodation including under floor heating in the bathroom and conservatory.

Facilities include tea and coffee, etc. and an extensive welcome tray;. Sky tv and a library of dvds, videos, audio cds, and books.

Free wi-fi internet is available.

The garden is over one acre, and includes a wide variety of flowers, shrubs, and trees and has an extensive vegetable area with greenhouses and a small orchard. The River Tryweryn flows at the bottom of the garden and is a natural water feature - the sound of the river is an interesting and unusual feature of the garden.

Eggs for the house are provided by our own flock of laying hens, and Bertie, Bessie and Betty - the free ranging Belgian bantams - provide a constant source of interest.

A wide range of wild birds can also been seen in the garden on the various bird feeders around the garden.

A recent addition to the garden is a carved sculpture of Melangell, a lady from a famous Welsh legend. She greets visitors with a gentle smile!

Off road parking is available, along with storage for bikes and canoes.

From the A5 take the A494 to Bala, then the A4212 towards Porthmadog. After 3 miles turn left just before the shop. Continue along the road to the end of the cul-de-sac. The Railway Cottage is the house facing you.
