Rafel Cottage, Parc ref: 612010

There are walking and cycling trails galore within the park and the area is dotted with cosy and welcoming eating establishments in which to unwind and relax after several hours invigorating exercise. Those who prefer to explore the superb peaks and ranges through less arduous methods can use the breathtaking mountain railway. The property is only a couple of miles from the attractive and vibrant town of Bala, famous for the quality of its watersports and all types of fishing. Not surprising as the town sits alongside its own lake- Bala Lake, the largest natural lake in Wales and which can be viewed from the comfort of a charming steam railway. The lake is home to the Gwynaid, a unique species of fish that is thought to date back to the ice-age. Bala has an excellent range of tourist amenities and a both interesting and innovative town trail. The town and local region are steeped in Welsh history and folklore and represent the ‘beating heart’ of the vibrant Welsh culture. The Welsh for example are famous the world over for their love of singing and this tradition is strongly upheld in the region through the internationally renowned male choir.  An hour’s drive north of the property will bring visitors within reach of the much loved coastal resorts of North Wales. Llandudno for example, provides a superb range of amenities. It has an excellent selection of shops and eating establishments, and a walk along its stunning pier, is an absolute must.
