I think the name means darling accommodation and it certainly is.

I think the name means darling accommodation and it certainly is. I gave five stars for cleanliness but would say it’s worth double that, absolutely spotless. Owners have thought of so much to make it perfect. It’s much better than the pictures so many nice touches and too many to mention.Short walk to the riverside if you talking a dog, PLAS YN DRE very close and dog friendly serves nice food. Good bakery close by. We loves the appartment and Bala, which is very friendly.

This was a lovely property to stay in, and our hosts Karl and Helen were so thoughtful with the set

This was a lovely property to stay in, and our hosts Karl and Helen were so thoughtful with the set up. It had everything we needed, from kitchen ware to bathroom essentials, including feminine hygiene products. They left us a loaf of bread and some milk so even breakfast and tea were sorted.The little patio was so nice and gave us the privacy we needed. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to visit Bala and have a nice lakeside walk. Lovely mountain views and close waterfalls and rivers.One downside was maybe the noise from the road - the person sleeping on the sofa bed should not be a light sleeper as vehicles whizzing past can be loudly heard in the living room. Some noise from the neighbours upstairs at night but I think that was minor.Overall, brilliant place to stay.

A great property kitted out with high quality furniture, fixtures and fittings.

A great property kitted out with high quality furniture, fixtures and fittings. Well stocked with tea, coffee, biscuits, laundry and shower products. Bala had plenty of places to eat and drink and shops. The lake is beautiful with lots of space to walk, which was ideal as we had brought our dog. The location was perfect for accessing local attractions and as a base for exploring North Wales. If like us you like a bit of history there are numerous castles. We enjoyed time at Beamaris, Caernarfon and Harlech doing just that. The owner is a lovely man. He spent time on the phone chatting before the holiday, and during when he came to check how we were doing. The whole experience was fantastic and a great way to get a few days away from the rat race. Well recommended.
