Bodweni House Reviews

Sam Turner

If you love river fishing, this place is hard to beat. The house was super cosy and had everything we needed, including a hot tub which was a real treat. Our only gripe was that a upright hoover would've made things easier. It's our second visit in three yearsand we're already planning to come back. Definitely recommend ordering your groceries from ASDA since the local shops are pretty limited. Overall, a fantastic week away-can't wait to return!

Alex

We loved the setting, it's perfect for a peaceful getaway. The river and lake nearby really added to the charm, especially at night when it's so quiet. Kids had a blast at the play areaand spotting the red kites was a real treat!

James Collins

We recently stayed at Bodweni House with a group of 7 adultsand honestly, it was fantastic! The place is super comfyand the facilities are spot on. The estate's surroundings are so peaceful and stunning, it's perfect for relaxing. The management team is really helpful without being intrusiveand there's plenty to do for everyone, no matter the age. Plus, the area around Bala offers some great walks and adventures. We genuinely felt lucky to stay here-definitely a memorable experience!

What a lovely spot! We really enjoyed exploring the area and relaxing by the lake. The accommodation was perfect, spacious enough for all seven of us and our dog. Big thanks for the thoughtful welcome pack and Melvin's help - top bloke!

Charlotte

The location of the property was fantastic, with the lake and kayaks, plus the table tennis and badminton kept the kids entertained for hours! The hot tub was spotless and an excellent addition. Bala is a lovely place to stay as a base for exploring North Walesand this property was exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be coming back. Fingers crossed it stays a small, intimate holiday space because that made it feel even more idyllic. The owner was really helpful too.

James

What a fantastic spot for a relaxing week! The house was super comfy, clean and functionaland had everything we needed for our family of 8 along with two dogs. The beds were really comfortableand all you could hear at night was the gentle bubbling and splashing of the stream. The lake was brilliant for swimming and messing about on the boats. Altogether it was a lovely place to unwind, plus an excellent base for exploring Snowdonia and North Wales!

Louise

We had a fantastic weekend with our family and friends. We booked the Hall and House for my 60th Birthday celebration. There were lovely hampers waiting for us filled with basic provisions. The kitchen was really well equipped. The outside areas were wonderful and kept everyone entertained, no matter their age. A big thank you to the lovely gentleman who sorted the recycling each day we were there. Definitely recommend!

What a brilliant location! Besides being a great spot for exploring North Wales, the Bodweni Estate is absolutely gorgeous. We really enjoyed swimming in the river and the lake, plus we had a great time taking a pedalo out.

Hannah

Bodweni Hall was just right for our big family. It wasn't too posh or fancy that we were worried about letting our teens and little ones run about. There was loads of space and fun activities both inside and outside! The setting was absolutely perfect! We would definitely recommend it for a large family gathering. We had a fantastic time!

Clara

What a brilliant location, we hardly ever needed to leave the site. The lake is absolutely stunning, we enjoyed hours of swimming, kayakingand even brought our paddle board along! Gorgeous walks, picnic tables, barbecues, outdoor seatingand a hot tub meant we really didn't have much reason to go off the estate. When we did decide to explore, this spot is great because there's so much to do nearby. The cottage has everything you could possibly need and more. We had a fantastic week and are definitely coming back next year!

Simon

This cottage is absolutely fantastic, with a brilliant and beautiful location. It has everything you need, plus a great welcome basket. The lakeside spot is stunningand it's nicely fenced off to keep the little ones safe. There's a great range of pedal boats and nice sturdy canoes. The water in the lake is super clean, even great for swimming on a nice day! The hot tub is brilliant, making this place the perfect chill out location for exploring Snowdonia and the nearby areas. We really did not want to go home. Definitely a 10 out of 10!

Ellie

What a lovely cottage set in wonderful grounds! We were thrilled to find a welcome basket filled with essentials and some sweet treats when we got there. As a three-generation family ranging from 2 to 52, it was perfect for all of us. The kids had a blast running in the field, playing at the parkand skimming stones in the river. We even enjoyed a couple of sunny days out on the canoes and pedalos on the lake! We would happily come back.

Emma

We had a fantastic week at Bodweni House with family, friendsand our two dogs. The location is absolutely stunningand everyone had a great time. We took the pedal boats out, played a bit of table tennisand enjoyed lovely walks around the lake. Then we relaxed in the hot tub with a beautiful view of the lake. The beds were extremely comfortableand the kitchen was really well equipped. We loved the welcome pack with tea, coffee, bara brithand other goodies. Plus, there's a play area for little ones. Would definitely recommend to friends!
