Tyn Y Fron Barn,

Tyn Y Fron Barn is a stone barn conversion sitting at the foot of the Berwyn Mountains in Llandderfel, near Bala in North Wales. The views across the North Wales landscape are jaw-dropping you can see distant mountain peaks from the sofa and through the skylight in bed. This is a genuinely characterful place with exposed beams, whitewashed walls and quirky decor including a traditional working organ.

Three waymarked footpaths pass directly through the surrounding grounds. Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) is 6.5 miles away the largest natural lake in Wales and a hub for water sports. Coed y Brenin mountain bike trails are 29 miles out. It's an outstanding base for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The barn sleeps two guests in one double bedroom on the mezzanine floor, accessed by a statement spiral staircase. There's one bathroom with a bath, handheld shower and WC. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and washing machine. No hot tub but there is a firepit that doubles as a BBQ.

Bala town is nearby for shops and pubs. Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) and the Clwydian Range are both accessible from here. The summit of Cadair Berwyn offers 360-degree views.

Tyn Y Fron Barn suits couples and solo travellers who want mountains, walking and fresh air. Two dogs are welcome. Private parking for two cars on site.
