We had a wonderful stay. Beautifully done inside. Right on the water with some amazing views. Very conveniently located to anything you might need. There's really something for everyone. Relax by the woodstove or recharge with a great night's sleep. Thanks for sharing this wonderful bit of paradise.
Wonderful Stay with Thoughtful Amenities and Exceptional Hospitality
The cottage was beautiful, exceptionally clean, and very well maintained. It was stocked with thoughtful amenities, including a variety of board games and a Wii, which we thoroughly enjoyed. A detailed binder provided clear instructions for everything in the cottage, along with another binder outlining emergency procedures for situations like severe weather or power outages, which was very reassuring. During our stay, we were snowed in, but the owner kindly came to dig us out with a snowblower on our check-out day—a gesture we deeply appreciated. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend this place!
Sarah & Matt's place is a little slice of paradise on Moon River. It is the most beautiful, soothing and restorative spot. Beautifully decorated and furnished and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed chilling, paddling and chatting by the firepit - not something we do very often at home in UK. It was fantastic to have the use of a canoe and two paddleboards as we could all go out together as a family. Bala is a lovely town with all the essentials needed for a stay in a cottage. Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage - we'd love to come back and stay on a future visit from UK. Andy, Debbie, Poppy & Jake xxx
Communication from start to finish was excellent. Property was fabulous, even better than the pictures. So clean and stocked with everything we needed. All the conveniences of home in a comfortable and spacious cottage. All this plus the most beautiful view of Moon River.
We will return to this property for sure.
The place was beautiful! Exactly as described in the listing. And the communication with the property managers was always quick and helpful!
Will stay here again when visiting the area!
This cottage exceeded our expectations!! Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a relaxing getaway from the city. Matt and Sarah are amazing hosts and are very accommodating.
We will definitely be returning.
This property was clean, spacious and a beautiful spot to relax. The owners were amazing to communicate with. We loved being close to downtown Bala for groceries and last minute items we needed.
