This lovely cottage has several features which help guests with mobility difficulties and is especially suitable for the elderly. However it is open to all and there is also room to include a cot for babies.

The cottages are all double glazed and centrally heated, with quality furnishings and well equipped kitchens which include full size cookers, fridge/freezers, microwaves, kettles and toasters.

Babies are welcome, as indeed are all children. A cot and high chair can be provided on request. We also welcome one dog as part of the family, but must impress on guests that this is sheep country and dogs must be kept under control at all times.

All heating, hot water and electricity is included in the tariff and there is a laundry on site, with washing machine, tumble and spin driers, iron and ironing board and hot and cold water on tap, we also supply washing powder, softener and tumble sheets.

The cottages all have their own enclosed gardens, for the safety of small children and pets, and have garden furniture and barbecues. The large grounds and gardens all around are for everyone’s pleasure to use for their relaxation and there are two beautiful large ponds, which teem with wild-life. These ponds are gated and fenced for the further protection of young children, so we do ask that the gates are kept closed at all times. There is also a playing field for children to kick a ball about and seating for parents who don’t want to kick a ball about! The view from here is lovely with Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) in the distance.

You will be welcomed at "Pen Cefn" where you collect the keys for the cottage of your choice. In the cottage you will find a welcome pack with home made cake, tea, coffee, sugar and milk so that you can make a “paned” (Welsh for cuppa) on arrival which we hope will refresh you after your long journey. Fresh eggs from our free range chickens are often available for sale at Pen Cefn kitchen (as long as the chickens are doing their job properly!).
