The Old Railway Station, The Old Railway Station Hen Stesion Fron Goch, Bala

The Old Railway Station is a unique 3-bedroom property located in Fron Gogh, North Wales, just 3 miles from Bala. This converted railway station keeps its quirky original features while offering modern comforts. The original platform now serves as a patio where you can sit listening to the River Tryweryn flow past – much more relaxing than waiting for the 7:15 to Cardiff.

Set between Llyn Tegid and Capel Celyn lakes with the Arenig mountains as your backdrop, this spot is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. The National Whitewater Centre is less than a mile away for those who like their water moving at terrifying speeds. Bala town is under 3 miles away with independent shops, eateries and its famous lake. The fully enclosed garden is perfect for dogs and kids who might otherwise make a break for the hills.

The accommodation includes a stylish kitchen/diner with all modern appliances, a cosy lounge with wood burner and three bedrooms: one double with en-suite shower, one twin and one bunk room. There's also a family bathroom with bath. The former signal box has been converted into a games room with pool table – perfect for when Welsh weather does its thing.

Visit Snowdonia National Park (30 minutes), Zip World for adrenaline thrills (40 minutes), Bala Lake Railway for scenic rides (10 minutes) and Portmeirion's Italian-style village (45 minutes). The hot tub is ideal after climbing mountains or simply surviving family board games.

The Old Railway Station offers the perfect mix of quirky character and modern comfort. Your tired muscles will thank you for that hot tub after a day of adventures. Just don't try flagging down passing trains – that service was discontinued some time ago.
