About this house rental

A fully restored luxurious home in Snowdonia National Park close to the market town of Bala. Pen- y -Bont Cottage is approximately 250 years old. So it was very young when Napoleon was on his mission to conquer Europe and Admiral Nelson and the Duke of Wellington were doing their best to prevent him. Pen- y -Bont in Welsh is literally ‘ Bridge End’. As there are many rivers in Wales there are many bridges and as such, many properties called Pen - y - Bont but only one Pen- y -Bont Cottage at the Llanuwchllyn Bridge. Originally the house was infact 4 very small peasant cottages. The property lay vacant and derelict for many years, then in the late 1990’s a local builder extended and modernised it including raising the building height into what we hope you will agree is a beautiful home.
The property is a 3 Bedroom house with adjacent parking. The car park is directly across the lane through the double swing gates. The area can accommodate up to 4 cars. Pen- y -Bont has a fully fitted kitchen, dining room, and lounge. Pen Y Bont sleeps 6, Bedroom 1 has a king size bed, Bedroom 2 has a double bed and Bedroom 3 has 2 single beds. All beds have high quality White Company linen provided. In addition we do have a portable cot but no linen is provided for this.
Also upstairs there is a bathroom comprising bath, shower and toilet facilities. We provide high quality toweling for your stay. On the ground floor there is a utilities room fitted with washer & drier and a toilet. Adjacent to the utility room is a cloaks & boot room.
The comfortable lounge has a 40 inch flat screen tv with Amazon Prime, Netflix and a PS3 game consul. A collection of dvd’, PS3 games and board games are also available. Free WiFi ensures you can keep in touch with the world on your favourite social network. To keep you cosy the house has oil central heating and a wood stove in the lounge.


Pen- y -Bont is in the small village of Llanuwchylln village just 5 miles from the market town of Bala. Lake Bala is one of the largest lakes in Wales and there are facilities to hire canoes and dinghies. For the more adventurous there is white water rafting and the thrills of Mount Snowdon all within easy reach of Pen- y -Bont.

If it’s the beach you fancy then there are many but our favourite is the sweeping bay at Barmouth, just 30 mins away. Castles at Harlech, Cricceth , Beaumaris and Canearvon also provide great days out.

To celebrate your arrival to our home we provide a ‘Welcome Pack’ consisting of a bottle of prosecco, tea, coffee and a basket of wood logs and coal to get your stay started in the right fashion.

Super easy check in, and the whole house was clean and ready for us. A good folder of information to tell us how everything works - always a great thing to have to hand!Great location with a 5-min drive to the lake which you could walk into (don't forget water shoes as rocky underfoot). We used the oven and hob a few times to make meals and everything we needed was provided - from a colander to a wok! The rooms were great for our family and again, everything we needed was provided.

We loved Pen Y Bont - it is an old cottage with chatacter but has been modernised so makes for a perfect holiday. We felt at home straight away. It's spacious and clean and has all the utensils and practicalities you need. We ate in a lot and the quality and easiness of the oven made this worthwhile. There's also outdoor space - which is lovely when the sun's out. The internet connection via Wifi was really good - my son had some video calls for work and this wasn't an issue. The cottage is beside a main road, so there is a little traffic noise, but you're more likely to hear the sheep on the surrounding hills. Beautiful countryside around and a short walk to the nearby village and steam railway station. Bala is a few miles down the road and everywhere else we visited (Zipworld, Portmerion, Barmouth, Llanberris for Snowdon) was about 45 minutes to an hour's drive - as expected in a rural location.

The cottage has all that you would need. Clear instructions folder was greatly appreciated. The fact that the cottage is well over 200 years old is fascinating. Stunning landscape all around and easily accessible by car. Our teenagers preferred it over Chessington world of adventure!! One cheeky sheep woke us up at 1am😀 but the peace and quiet was lovely. We are already thanking when we can return. Many thanks. Lidia and the family x

What can I say, excellent communication excellent comfy beds with lovely pillows and bedding. lots of little touches that made it special, luscious soaps and moisturisers at sinks. Easy to find, a nice local pub up the road in easy walking distance, also petrol station with shop and logs. Lovely views out to sheep fields. Colin and Amanda were extremely flexible and gave good suggestions on local places to visit and eat - the George 111 pub was perfect and delicious roast. Thank you for a wonderful stay we highly recommend:-)
