About this property

Romantic Stone built cottage with Log burner


Stone Built Studio Cottage in Maerdy, Near Bala, North Wales - Peaceful Rural Location With Walks and Wildlife From Cottage Door, amazing dark skies for a spot of stargazing.
Comfortable, cosy with underfloor heating and nestling in upland-grazing land at about 1,000 feet elevation, this one-bedroom (one double-bed, sleeping two people) studio cottage has views down the valley and to the mountains beyond. The cottage has panoramic views towards Moel Famau to the north and the Berwyn range to the east and towards the Snowdonia range and Cadair Idris to the west and south. Located at the gateway to the Snowdonia National Park (on the edge of the Hiraethog region) but despite its rural location is closely accessible to the A5 trunk road and only 35 miles from Chester, 13 miles to LLangollen, 9 miles to Bala (with its lake and water sports ) and 18 miles from Betws –y- Coed. There is a local pub (the Goat Inn) within walking distance from the studio cottage and fabulous breakfasts and fine dining (lunchtimes and occasional evenings) at Rhug organic farm a couple of miles down the road .
Ideal for walks from the front door, a glass of wine or just relaxing in front of the wood burner in the conservatory enjoying the views or outside if weather permits; or as a cosy base to come back to after a day of walking or outdoor adventures with nearby Get Wet Adventure Company or White water rafting.

Beautiful!

I really enjoyed my stay at this property! Very quiet with beautiful views! The only difficulty I had was locating the turn off the A5. It may be helpful to mention to future visitors where the local pub is in relation to where to turn! Not a big issue though!

Beautiful

We enjoyed Ty Bach. The location was perfect, the cottage clean and well appointed. Mari was a warm, welcoming host. The views are breath taking and after a day of hiking, we sat and enjoyed a glass of wine and solitude looking over the stunning vista. We will be back for sure.

Sheep in the Clouds

We very much enjoyed the stay at this little cottage. The sheep and pheasants made us right at home in its beautiful location with unimpaired vistas. The proximity to A5 made area exploration east. We recommend it.

Brilliant place to stay

We received a warm welcome here. The Cottage was really cosy inside, small but perfectly formed and in an amazing location. The conservatory and the woodburner were big plusses, especially on rainy days. Would definitely return if it were possible.

Perfect Stay

We had the most perfect stay at this beautiful, private cottage! From the moment we arrived, it felt like a peaceful retreat. The cottage was impeccably clean, thoughtfully designed, and equipped with everything I could possibly need. The surroundings were serene, offering complete privacy and a true escape from the hustle and bustle.The cozy interiors, comfortable furnishings, and warm ambiance made it feel like a home away from home. The outdoor space was equally delightful…The hosts were incredibly attentive without being intrusive, ensuring my stay was seamless and stress-free. I can’t recommend this place highly enough and will definitely be returning. If you’re looking for a tranquil, private getaway, this cottage is absolutely perfect!

Klein maar fijn!

Wij zijn 10 dagen op deze plek geweest en hebben het er goed gehad. De aankomst was spannend. Wij kwamen van de kant van Bala en dan lijkt het of je aan het einde van de wereld komt. Vooral het laatste stenige pad naar boven op de heuvel is uitdagend. Dankzij de uitleg van Mari konden we het goed vinden. Bij het maken van uitstapjes is de A5 (de andere kant op) dichtbij. Er is veel te doen in de omgeving. In het huisje liggen wandelkaarten en suggesties voor wandelingen. Het huisje is klein, maar goed verzorgd. Wij voelden er ons thuis. De eigenaars wonen ernaast, maar je hebt maximale privacy. Het uitzicht is geweldig! Het zou wel handig zijn als er geschreven instructies waren voor de verwarming, oven en wasmachine.

Grandiose Aussicht

Erst mal muss man dort hinkommen. Von der A5 gegenüber vom Goats Inn B&B die schmale Straße runter und dann ca 2km geradeaus. Wenn man das kleine Hinweisschild zum Cottage am Strompfeiler entdeckt, rechts rauf. Dann geht es ca 200m eine schmale, steinige, holprige Zufahrt aufwärts. Nicht schön für mich und meinen Fiat 500. Das Cottage ist klein, einfach und rustikal, mit zusammengewürfelten Möbeln eingerichtet. Einige Bereiche musste ich erst mal nachwischen. Ausstattung der Küche ist gut. Es gibt Fußbodenheizung, die aber leider nicht auf die einzelnen Räume gesteuert werden kann. Im Schlafzimmer ist es dann so warm wie im Bad. Im Wintergarten ist gar keine Heizung. Da muss man den Holzofen feuern, damit man es warm hat. Holznachschub bekommt man auf Nachfrage. Internet/WLAN ist recht instabil in dieser abgeschiedenen Gegend. Download meiner Tageszeitung hat schon mal 2 Std gedauert. Positiv ist die Ruhe und die unglaublich schöne Aussicht. Die Vermieter sind auch nett.

Everything you could need for 2 people and with many activities, walks and places to visit nearby. Mari couldnt have been more helpful and the sheep, donkeys and adorable ducks are a great addition. Would absolutely recommend staying here and will definitely be staying again!
