Cosy accommodationLlety Cariad is a lovely and thoughtfully appointed ground floor flat on the high street. The high street is a busy thoroughfare but don't let that put you off as traffic hardly disturbed us and wasn't particularly noticeable when in the flat.The lounge was comfy with smart TV and a selection of board/card games and books. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and cook meals with a spacious fridge freezer. The owners had left milk and bread and salt & pepper and a jar of condiment sachets and small jars of tea coffee sugar which was very useful. From the kitchen was a lovely enclosed covered patio space with seating and a fire pit with kindling and logs supplied. The weather wasn't particularly kind to us so unfortunately we didn't sit outside for very long. This space was also very safe for our dog. The owners supplied dog bowls, treats and bags.Bedroom was off the lounge which was a lovely cosy space. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of hanging and shelf space. It was also very quite at night.The bathroom was off the hallway and was very clean and modern with all the toiletries you would need and a nice selection of fluffy towels.There was washing powder and conditioner for the washing machine.We didn't eat out so can't comment on pubs and restaurants but there was plenty of choice along the high street. We would recommend the steak we bought from Roberts the butchers.Car parking along the high street is limited to one hour between 9am and 6pm. We did manage to park outside overnight a couple of times and we parked in the public carpark which was £15.40 for 24 hours.We really enjoyed our stay, it was lovely accommodation with some very thoughtful touches.

We had a great time in Bala. The property was warm, clean, comfortable and well equipped. As hill walkers we were delighted with the excellent shower and the proximity of so many hills. The location in town was close to an excellent butchers, chip shop and ice cream shop and good bakers and greengrocers as well as 2 small supermarkets. The owners were friendly and interested in their customers and always ready to help. We would highly recommend this property for any couple wishing to stay in this area.

This place is great and well connected for visiting the area of Snowdonia With Bala on your doorstep which has good eateries. The lake is beautiful within easy access down a river walk. If you are taking your four legged friend away with you, you cannot go wrong staying here.Karl was very helpful and friendly and went out of his way to make us feel welcome. In the apartment there are a lot of little extra added touches like shower gel etc Having said all this there is a downside. Unfortunately you can hear the people above. Moving around. Using the bathroom and just general noises of living aboveWe did have disturbed sleep the first. Night and we mentioned it to Karl it did improve but we were still aware of it
