About this property
Pen- y -Bont Cottage - a luxurious holiday home in Snowdonia National Park
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.

About the host
Hosted by Colin Jones
Why they chose this property
We bought Pen- y -Bont cottage initially as a second home and it has served us well. The wider family used it as a bolt hole and we had family gatherings enabled by the great parking and capacity of the cottage. It is also a quite stunning property both externally and internally. It is also central to benefit from all that Wales can deliver and an unbelievable place to forget about work and city life.
What makes this property unique
We love this property because it is in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park with access to everything that the location brings such as, forest walks, river and lake activities, mountains & waterfalls and of course beaches. Importantly we love the small welsh towns of Llangollen, Porthmadog, Pwllheli, Betws-Coed and of course the eclectic Portmerrion with its Italian influences. Not forgetting the seaside resort of Barmouth with its beautiful beach and the best fish & chips in the world.
