Aug 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A wonderful spacious cottage! We had an amazing weekend staying at this cottage as a family. The house was spacious, had everything we needed and was really clean. The upstairs bathroom was particularly lovely and had a nice bathtub and bath/shower products. We spent a lot of time sitting on the big dock and swimming in the lake, and also made use of the 2 stand-up paddle boards. They had beach towels, water shoes and some life jackets which is super nice. The lawn at the back is huge and a nice spot to play soccer or something. The sauna was also SO nice and nicely built and easy to use. The only downside was that the basement smelled musty/mildewy and one of the bedrooms is located down there so if you're sensitive to those kinds of scents something to be mindful of. Overall a very dreamy beautiful home and we wish we could've stayed longer! The nearby town (Bala) is also really cute. ##### Catherine D.
