The Farm House, Bala

Very good accommodation, absorbing 3 couples and 4 mixed children without stress. Isolated. We were lucky with the weather. Dull, wet conditions might have made it less enjoyable as there aren't many attractions within an hour's drive. Facilities would have been improved by some mediumsized saucepans and large drinking glasses. Pints, say. Purists might prefer champagne flutes to the generic wine glasses. The dishwasher seemed to be full of crumbs or coffee grounds, despite several attempts at cleaning the filters and heads. A huge compacted plug of felt had to be poked out of the vacuum cleaner before it worked. That must have taken weeks to accumulate!

Beautifully positioned, updated and maintained luxury farmhouse accomodation that has everything a large group could wish for. Family run by the lovely Jayne and Gerraint a superhelpful, friendly couple, who made sure we had everything we needed. Best place our party of 1112 has stayed in trips going back many years. We'll be back!

This was the perfect place to stay for a large diverse group of us 7 adults ages between 30 and 79, 4 children ages 5 to 13. The owners live adjacent, and were both helpful and friendly. It is a gorgeous, but not well known, part of the world, and we found plenty to do nearby.

Very nice place we would like to go back again

Everything about this property is to a very high standard. Nothing has been missed and attention to detail by the owners is impeccable. If youre pondering whether to book this place, just do it. You wont regret it. Thank you so much Jane and Geraint

Our stay at The Farmhouse was perfect. The house is huge with ample space for our large group to gather. All of the bedrooms are lovely and again spacious. The property is furnished and cleaned to a very high standard. We loved the hot tub and the large kitchen in particular. The owners were attentive and helpful in their communication with us but also afforded us privacy during our stay. The house is situated in such a beautiful part of the Wales I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Farmhouse!

A beautiful, big farmhouse in a lovely, serene setting. All the amenities you could wish for are provided and instruction booklets as well good idea! Plenty of places to visit and activities to do in the area. Very friendly and helpful couple, Jane and Geraint, and made us feel welcome. The hot tub was very well used and enjoyed, even in late evening when you can lie back and watch the stars! Everything maintained to a high standard. Well worth staying there for a holiday.

More of a stately home than a cottage! A beautiful property, spacious yet homely. The children didnt want to leave. Lovely and clean, with literally every amenity, all you need is bath soap and toothbrush and toothpaste. Alpacas geese and sheep with the backdrop of beautiful rolling countrysideand a jacuzzi to enjoy the dark skies site.

We had a lovely family get together at the Farm House near Bala for a special Birthday celebration. The house is very clean and beautifully furnished, with the downstairs bedroom a real bonus for anyone requiring disabled access. Many thanks to the owners, Geraint and Jane, who are very friendly and attentive, providing details of local activities and places to visit along with a lovely welcome basket. Although the weather was very cold, the house remained really warm throughout and the sitting room log burner is a real bonus. With amazing views in a quiet location, the Farm House is perfectly located for exploring the surrounding area and beautiful Welsh countryside.

We had a great holiday the house is amazing so much room was lovely to have a dinning table we were all able to sit around and the added bonus of the smaller sitting room which was a quiet area for anyone that wanted it. Hot tub was a really good size and proved to be a great success. Jane and Geraint were really friendly and helpful even left me a lovely birthday card and a lovely welcome basket basket would love to return again sometime.

We had a lovely family holiday here. Great for walking, the sea and leisure centres when weather not so good. Rooms were all large, clean and great place for all of us to sit round the table together. Owner responded quickly to any questions we had and was very informative about the area. We would love to come back. Thank you

Beautiful location well kept hosts you could not wish for better, very attentive. Hosts gave good advice on where to go for a really good day out. Made sure we had everything we needed on arrival a hamper with home made cake included. Butter, milk ,eggs ,bread, tea ,coffee, sugar and the important toilet rolls. The jacuzzi was hot and ready to go, really relaxing holiday. The bedrooms where all spacious ,clean and inviting. We had the best holiday for a long time wales

We had an amazing time at the Farmhouse. it is a beautiful home and well equipped with anything you'd ever need. The hosts, Jane and Geraint, are friendly and attentive without being intrusive in any way. The location of the property is excellent for exploring lots of local attractions without having to travel too far. We were extremely comfortable and are highly likely to return in the future. We can certainly recommend the Farmhouse highly.

Fabulous property wonderfully spacious and general layout of the house worked really well. The owners were very communicative both ahead of our stay and whilst we were on holiday they made us feel very welcome and gave some great recommendations of places to visit. They also left some really thoughtful, locally sourced welcome gifts including bara brith, welsh cakes, welsh butter and beer. The hot tub was a great addition and a really good size and it was helpful in the evenings having two reception rooms as it meant the children could watch tv in one room whilst the adults were in another. The garden space is well maintained with a good bbq available to use. In terms of location it is remote but with that comes beautiful views and a very peaceful break. It is about a 10 minute drive to Corwen a lovely little village, with a nice cafe for breakfast and a fantastic 'giant adventure' walk in the surrounding hills. Bala is about 10 minutes drive away as well a nice town with a beautiful lake. Larger towns including a large supermarket were about 2025 minutes drive away. All in all, I couldn't recommend this property enough, in particular if it is a holiday for multiple families as the space is great.

We had a fantastic stay at the farm house. The owners were very friendly and couldnt do enough for you. We had a lovely welcome package when we arrived. The house is well equipped and plenty of space for everyone. We cooked a roast on our first full day. The children loved the games room, hot tub and gardens. We visited lots of places in the local areas. And have a lovely meal on our last night at the blue lion. Would highly recommend this property

Lovely location. Beautiful solid house with large rooms and multiple bathrooms. Useful warm utility room. Wellstocked kitchen. Friendly and very helpful owners.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Farmhouse. It was extremely well equipped and spotlessly clean. Every one of the six bedrooms was spacious and beds were comfortable. The hot tub was fabulous.

It was the occasion of my Mum's 80th birthday, a reunion across continents, and a few sibling birthdays besides. Upon entering the property, we were immediately impressed by the light, spaciousness, and quality of the farm house. Every bedroom offered wonderful views, an ample comfortable bed, and modern ensuite or nearby bathrooms there was no need to draw straws! The two living areas allowed us to spread out according to our preferences for solitude or entertainment, while the hottub provided another venue for conversation and enjoying the outdoors. But the highlight was the combined kitchen and dining area with a huge table for a dozen or more that allowed us to share meals and celebrate birthdays in comfort. We didn't travel out many times but we did enjoy Bala Lake and nearby towns. Now we just need another excuse to come back! Thank You so much.

The wi fi was better than two years ago but still intermittent Also the front door did not lock and was not repaired the whole week leaving our valuables at risk The owners were notified several times but it was not mended and told it was a low risk area!

Lovely stay had by all had everything we needed fab kitchen for family gathering to eat and a cozy fire in the evening on main room. Owners are very welcoming and the hamper of goodies was very thoughtful. House is well located to discover North Wales.

Excellent farmhouse. We were a group of 11 friends and couldnt get over how roomy the house was we just kept discovering more and more rooms! Welcome pack was lovely, everything we needed was there and the hot tub was great. Highly recommend

We, 9 adults and 3 young children, had a most pleasant holiday at The Farmhouse. The house and grounds exceeded expectations. The large downstairs bedroom was particularly beneficial for the oldest member of the family. The hot tub was a great success with all ages. Apart from one loose tap in the bathroom, we had a wonderful stay. Many thanks to the owners and Sykes. Very good value.

The house was delightful, larger and more impressive than the marketing photos indicate. The setting is private, large and really good for families or just adults. The facilities were excellent and the hot tub was a big hit with everyone. Close to Bala Lake, it was forty minutes to the coast or within ten minutes or more for all kinds of walks, being on the fringes of Snowdonia. The holiday was made even more enjoyable by the hosts, Jayne & Geraint, who made us feel welcome and were tremendously helpful, yet were sensitive to our privacy. In all it was a terrific holiday for our group and we hope to return there before too long.

We had a lovely holiday,& Jayne & Geraint were very helpful & friendly. The house is very spacious & comfortable, & clean,& we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Well be back !

We had the best stay and are already thinking of when we can return.

What a wonderful experience. The cottage was outstanding in comfort, charm and in a fantastic location. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus and the kitchen facilities allowed us all to be together at meal times. Cooking facilities were brilliant and more than adequate and WOW the bedrooms were a dream!

Excellent stay and a great family get together. Nothing too much trouble for the owners but they were never intrusive. Will definitely recommend and will love to return one day.

Absolutely amazing break, the house was phenomenal and the photos on the site do not do it justice. Beautiful place, location is so quiet and private. There were 10 of us and we had more than enough space for us all to relax. Would definitely go again!

The property was lovely. Me and my friends had an amazing time. The hot tub was a lovely addition to the property. The house is equipped with everything you need. I spoke to the owners the night before and they gave me a run through of everything. They even provided me with lasagne dishes as I was cooking for a large amount of people.

Jane was very welcoming and friendly, a lovely gift basket of local produce was there on arrival as well as a birthday card! The house is beautiful, lots of space and the facilities perfect for what we needed. The hot tub was just the cherry on top and we had an amazing time. Plenty of space for 12 people and could not recommend more!

The farmhouse was amazing huge and had everything our large family needed re bedroomsensuitebathrooms. The dining table and kitchen area was amazing so we could all dine together in one place and the living room was lovely and cosy with the open fire. The games room and jacuzzi were a huge hit with the kids AND adults! The owner Jane was amazing friendly ans helpful throughout. We will definitely stay again when some of the children have got older.

The Farm House, was lovely and we felt right at home. It was a warm place and lovely to have a log fire. It was a lovely family holiday thank you.

The accommodation was perfect for us! A lovely well equipped home and spacious for our family. The location of the property was nice and central to the places we visited. Those late evenings relaxing in the hot tub.. we would definitively recommend a stay with Jane and Geraint

Great position for travelling around the area with lots of activities to keep all ages happy.

The accommodation was excellent, clean and everything was of great quality. It was lovely and private and had everything we required for our stay. Jane was welcoming and the whole experience could not have been better.

Jane and Geraint could not have been more helpful or welcoming. Excellent holiday which we hope to repeat.

The Farmhouse is grand and spacious. There was a place to store everything, for example, plenty of coat hooks, cupboards etc and the laundry room was wonderful for drying out swimming costumes! It was warm and comfortable, and the wood burner was an added bonus during the colder nights. The hot tub was glorious, and it was great to relax in the sunshine, listening to the lambs in the nearby field. Unfortunately, the internet couldn't cope with our demands and was intermittent. If it was possible to install a decent broadband connection, we would be willing to pay a bit extra for the week, as it would have made the media room more accessible. There was also a Wii which hadn't been mentioned in the listings, and we would have brought games for the Wii had we known. The blue ray controller was missing in the media room too. There was also a downstairs toilet as well as the enough suite for the downstairs bedroom which was useful, and I hadn't noticed that in the listings either. However, considering the house had not been used for a while due to lockdown, it was a wonderful place for an enjoyable, relaxing, quiet break away. We particularly enjoyed visiting Brenig, the lake at Bala and wandering around Ruthin.

Fabulous house! We stayed with a party of five and had this huge house to ourselves. It could have contained 12 people comfortably. The facilities were great with ensuite bathrooms in many of the bedrooms and a brilliant kitchen with all utensils and large oven. The well maintained hot tub was the icing on the cake. Highly recommended!
