Glynrhedyn

Accommodation: 7/8 guests + cot
Glynrhedyn is a most exceptional stone and slate detached period country house which is set in approximately 5 acres of enchanting woodland and river with 2 natural waterfalls and natural dipping pool beneath. A convenient fallen tree offers a precarious and hilarious river crossing! A small tree house, a wooden bridge and numerous winding pathways and hiding places make this an exciting fairyland for children to explore and play.

Just minutes by car from Bala, in the tiny village of Rhosygwalia, this enchanting country retreat is approached via a private gated driveway and quaint wooden bridge. Space, light and peace are the most memorable features of Glynrhedyn, which offers superb quality accommodation for families or several couples. Recently sensitively refurbished to retain its original Victorian features. Quality furniture. A wealth of books in every room.
