Reviews

The cottage is conveniently located just five minutes from Bala lake in one direction and five minutes from the centre of the High street in the other. It is well equipped, comfortable and has lots of character. Car parking is immediately outside the cottage.

Mr P,

High standard complex more than most people would expect.

Mr M,

Accommodation was spotlessly clean and plenty of tea, coffee and milk in welcome pack. Located at the bottom of the town with plenty of pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops for all your needs.

Mr Q,

Lovely clean cottage conversions with friendly helpful hosts and very good facilities, ideally and quietly situated at the end of the Main street close to a variety of shops, bars and eating places and only minutes from the lake. Highly recommend the Stori bar/shop where you can sample or purchase a large selection of Welsh beers, ciders, spirits and wines within 2 minutes walk. They even produce their very own (and very nice) gin at the back of the shop. Great value and one of the best cottage accommodation we have experienced. The location is also ideal for exploring north or mid Wales. Will certainly return.

Mr R,

The outside area could be made more comfortable, chairs were too hard and straight back to be comfortable. More of a barbecue area too. The town itself is not a place for holiday makers in the evening.

Mrs Lorraine M,

This was a very enjoyable holiday venue. The cottage is an excellent place to stay and we enjoyed the whole week, especially with the fine weather.

Mr Jeff H,

This is such a lovely property, situated right near the high street with everything you could need. There is a beautiful walk nearby around bala lake, we would definitely recommend this property for those who want to explore North Wales.

Mr S,

Great location, lovely cottage. Modern, clean with everything you need. Would highly recommend

Ms G,

Very nice accomodation, cosy and modern

Ms Debby C,

Located within an enclosed yard on the outskirts of Bala market town, Côr Llew Coch offers a private setting with the benefits of being within walking distance to cafes, restaurants, shops and bars. Part of a stunning conversion of barns on what was previously the owners' family farm, you also have the option of bringing family or friends along to the two other 5 star cottages on site (sleeping 4 and 6).

The lovely Welsh market town of Bala offers a wide range of amenities, a quirky bottle shop and tap room where you can enjoy Welsh beers. There is also a Leisure Centre with a fitness room, indoor swimming pool and slide. Amongst the best places to eat (all within walking distance) are the White Lion Hotel, Y Plas Coch, Bistro Y Cyfnod, Plas yn Dre, Bala Spice and Y Cwrt. Also worth a short drive is Yr Eagles in Llanuwchllyn (5 miles) and Lake Vyrnwy Restaurant (13 miles). Some of the best pubs in town include The White Lion, Y Plas Coch and Y Cwrt (all within a 5 minute walk).

Bala is home to Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake), the largest natural lake in Wales, with a range of watersports such as canoeing, sailing and windsurfing. You can also enjoy a steam train ride along its shores, all the way to Llanuwchllyn and back, as well as a circular route that's suitable for walking and cycling.
