About this property

Y Lle Hysbys Guest Annexe

Y Lle Hysbys guest annexe is on the outskirts of Bala in a quiet rural location, and can sleep two people. Surrounded by hills and fields, it makes a cosy and peaceful little base across the yard from our home within Eryri National Park.

Y Lle Hysbys annexe is a separate detached building, and although we live on site in the main house, you can be assured of peace and privacy throughout your stay whilst knowing we're on hand should you need anything. Our guest annexe is in a tranquil spot, yet with all the convenience of Bala town within only a few minutes drive.

The accommodation is all on one level (no access to the crog loft), and consists of one main living area with luxury handmade double bed for ultimate relaxation after a tough day in the hills! Two armchairs and a dining table. It has a bathroom and small kitchenette off the main living area. The size is similar to a large hotel room but with the added benefit of a kitchenette and outdoor patio.

It is a former 'beudy' ( cowshed ) from the time when the house used to be a farmhouse, so it has a high beamed ceiling and is full of character. It makes a comfortable, affordable and convenient base for couples or solo travellers and is an ideal weekend or short break property for people exploring North Wales. The patio, with wooden dining bench and railway carriage garden room, is a lovely place to relax with a glass of something (or hot chocolate depending on the season!) after a day out in the mountains. Being south facing, the patio gets the sun well into the evening during the summer months.

Situated on the outskirts of Bala, it is close to Llyn Tegid, often referred to as 'Bala Lake' and you can walk into Bala in about 15 - 20 minutes or drive there in just a few minutes for a range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Bala is surrounded by the Aran, Arenig and Berwyn mountain ranges, and Cadair Idris is only a half hour drive away, so it is a walkers paradise with plenty to offer. Whichever direction you choose to explore is beautiful in every season. There are some lovely walks right from the doorstep. If you are looking to climb Yr Wyddfa, Llanberis is an hour away from Bala. This guest annexe is ideal for leisure walkers, hikers and bikers as well as anyone who likes watersports with it being close to Llyn Tegid. The National Whitewater Centre is also less than a 10 minute drive away for thrill seekers looking for rafting experiences along the Afon Tryweryn.

If you have any questions or would like any further information please don't hesitate to contact us. We would love to hear from you. Please feel free to write to us in English or in Welsh.

Notes
* Just for clarity, although the VRBO AI generated descriptions indicate that the property is an apartment situated on a lake, it isn't, we are less than a mile from Llyn Tegid. This is AI generated content that we aren't able to change.

* At most times of the year the fields around the property are grazed by sheep or cattle. Please be aware of the potential presence of livestock and the fact that the access track crosses one of the fields and is therefore part of the grazing area.

What a Gem of a find
Absolutely stunning property in a beautiful location with wonderful hosts. My friend and I wanted a little weekend away that didn’t cost the Earth. We both had an amazing weekend. Lots of lovely walks, the weather was gorgeous and we even managed a few hours at Barmouth beach. The old railway carriage on our patio was such a brilliant addition. Would highly recommend

A great place to stay
If you like nature and a great place in Wales. We were truly surprised by this great cottage and extremely warm and communicative hosts. The cottage has been refurbished with lots of nice personal details. We felt very welcome. Snowdonia is beautiful and the people very friendly. Please check for music festivals😄

A Wonderful Week Away
The 'Y Lle Hysbys Guest Annexe' is an excellent place to stay in North Wales, as the name suggests it's only a few metres from the owner's home, though entirely private. The annexe is a very clever conversion of an old outbuilding, I was glad the thick walls kept the interior cool in an unseasonably hot June in North Wales. The owners, Karen & Iestyn, could not be more welcoming and helpful, nothing seems to be too much trouble to ensure your stay is as smooth as possible. The only close 'neighbours' are a selection of wildlife, notably a selection of wild birds, and the occasional sheep. I used 'Y Lle Hysbys' as a base for visiting several of the narrow gauge railways in the area, the location means that none are more than an hour's drive away. The Bala Lake Railway is less than two miles away and worth a visit even if you are not a rail fan. However, for rail fans, the crowning glory will be the brilliant conversion of an old narrow gauge wagon into a summer house, complete with a coffee maker, on the south-facing patio.

SUPERB experience
The hosts were SO helpful to me and treated me just like family. I felt so welcome. The cottage is gorgeous and homey. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a "real" Wales experience, rest, relaxation, and being treated like royalty.

Perfect couple retreat!
If you want a cozy, authentic Welsh cottage with high charm levels we highly recommend this property. The place was very clean and well stocked. The quirky details inside and out are unique and lovely. Everything about our stay was perfect from the comfortable bed to the genuine and engaging hosts. Thanks so much for making the start of our vacation so memorable!
