The private lake comes with canoes and pedalos for mucking about on the water. Kids can play in the onsite park while you spot red kites soaring overhead. It's peaceful enough to hear a pin drop - or just the gentle bubbling of the stream at night. Perfect for anyone who needs to escape the rat race without sacrificing modern comforts. That hot tub isn't going to use itself, is it?

The property boasts 3 bathrooms - a full bathroom, shower room and en-suite shower. Downstairs bedroom and bathroom facilities make it accessible for those with mobility needs.

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!
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
