About Bodweni House

Bodweni House is a stunning 5-star holiday lodge just 3 miles east of Bala in North Wales. This spacious property sits within 75 acres of private grounds featuring gardens, woodlands and a beautiful lake. Private fishing access on the River Dee makes this spot a genuine catch for anglers. The property offers waterside views that'll have you reaching for your camera before you've even unpacked.

The grounds are absolutely massive. You'll find yourself wandering through well-stocked borders teeming with wildlife. Fancy a paddle? 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?

Bodweni House sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms. You'll find one super-king-size room, one super-king-size zip-and-link (can be twins if needed), one twin with lake views and another twin room. 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.

Explore Snowdonia from this perfect base. Visit the National White Water Centre (15 minutes), Zip World Slate Caverns (30 minutes), King Arthur's Labyrinth (25 minutes) and Harlech Castle (40 minutes). Bala itself offers Wales's largest natural lake and a swimming pool just minutes away.

Bodweni House is ideal for family gatherings or friend reunions. The hot tub under the stars after a day of adventure is worth the trip alone. Book it before someone else does!

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!

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!

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.
