Enjoy rural views and river sounds from this unique former railway station with games room and hot tub. The property is close to Bala and Snowdonia National Park, perfect for families, including the dog, to relax and be active
The former station is set in idyllic Fron Gogh, nestling between Bala’s Llyn Tegid and Capel Celyn lakes, surrounded by the Arenig mountains. Stroll along the River Tryweryn, towards the National Whitewater Centre which is within a mile. Bala is just under 3 miles away, famous for its lake, which is the largest natural lake in Wales and home to a unique fish called the Gwyniaid, a relic of the Ice Age! Enjoy a ride on the narrow-gauge Bala Lake Railway or visit the independent shops, eateries and the historic Town Walk. Surrounded by the fantastic Berwyn Mountains on one side and the magnificent Snowdonia Mountain Range on the other, this is a great destination for either a relaxing or active holiday.
