Rachael was a fantastic host, we had a beautiful room and the breakfast was delicious. We will definitely be recommending to friends and hopefully return ourselves in the not so distant future. Thank you so much :)Brigitte2017-02-26T00:00:00Z
This was a great base for a long weekend of exploring Snowdonia. The room was clean and comfortable, with a nice en suite. Rachael was helpful, communicative and keen to make sure we enjoyed our trip. I'd happily stay again, thanks.Rich2017-04-16T00:00:00Z
The location is secluded but didn't mind. The views were amazing. The breakfast was lovely and the bed was comfortable. Highly recommend.TODD2017-04-18T00:00:00Z
Beautiful location and great hosts. Perfectly peaceful, just what we wanted. Rachel was great - and even let us feed one of the lambs! Breakfast was delicious (and lots of it) and we loved the heated cafetière. Would definitely come again.Julia2017-05-01T00:00:00Z
The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.Sufian2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

Rachel's place is a beautiful farm in an ideal walking setting with beautiful vistas in every direction. She is a very enjoyable host. We highly recommend the place.Eric2017-04-27T00:00:00Z
Our hosts were most accommodating. We had a marvellous, relaxing stay in their home and would thoroughly recommend their farmhouse getaway as a base to explore Snowdonia.Excellent!Jeremy2017-04-21T00:00:00Z

Perfect for a romantic getaway, the place was warm and cozy, but not to cozy I'm 6'4'' and it wasn't too much of a problem, the under floor heating was particularly nice on those winter mornings/nights. The area was really pretty and fun to explore. Excellent hosts the best airbnb we have stayed at yet.Neil2017-01-29T00:00:00Z
Karen could not have been a better host. From pulling up to pulling away, Karen made herself available. Our home for the weekend was amazing. Warm and cosy. 100% recommend for a romantic getaway.liam2016-11-27T00:00:00Z
The cottage is beautiful. There are lots of little well-thought-out features, and everything is so new and lovely. We stayed over a blustery December weekend of heavy rain, but the under-floor heating and thick walls made the place feel all cosy and snug. Karen and Richard were helpful and very accommodating hosts. We loved our stay and we'd highly recommend the place.Richard2015-12-06T00:00:00Z
Karen and Richard's cottage was lovely! Really cosy despite the December weather and had everything you needed to feel at home. They were friendly hosts with plenty of recommendations for us and, as dog lovers, we loved their dog Jac. We only wished we could have stayed longer!Holly2016-12-03T00:00:00Z
Karen was very welcoming and provided us with all the local information we needed to make the most of our stay. The accommodation was comfortable and in a beautiful setting, ideal for local walks.Petrina 2015-09-18T00:00:00Z
Our stay here was lovely! Karen was a great host and the apartment and surrounding area was beautiful and peaceful. Equipped with everything you could need for your stay. Karen is very knowledgeable about the surrounding area and was happy to chat to us about our plans while we stayed there. Would highly recommend staying here if you want peace and quiet and lovely surroundings.Sharon2016-05-16T00:00:00Z
One of the loveliest Airbnbs we have stayed in. The converted barn is immaculate and very well equipped with everything you could need. The bed is very big and very comfortable. Karen couldn't have been more helpful and suggested some nice walks for us and loaned us maps. Even though the barn is right next to the main house, it is very private and 'away from it all' and we had a wonderful, relaxing and cosy time, despite the terrible weather. We are looking forward to returning some dayJemma2017-01-15T00:00:00Z
This has to be one of the loveliest little places we've stayed. Full of character yet modern with everything you would need. Situated in an idyllic location perfect for exploring Snowdonia we will be sure to come back. Thanks Karen & Richard.Lauren2016-11-20T00:00:00Z

What a delightful place to stay. Perfecty secluded in such a picturesque setting. Was the best few nights sleep I have had in a long time. Cottage is charmingly rustic and comfortable, surrounded by undulating countryside. Even though weather was awful, it wasn't an issue as was just as pleasant sitting on the comfy sofas infront of the wordburning stove with a class of wine. If skies are clear at night, be sure to step outside and gaze at the stars. Thanks to the lack of any light polution, provides a spectacular canopy. Wouldn't hesitate in staying here again.James2016-12-24T00:00:00Z
Louise left flowers, a bottle of wine for us and a full log basket. It was a lovely welcome We absolutely loved the cottage. Secluded, charming and very comfortable, it was perfect for us. The walking was spectacular.MELANIE2016-05-12T00:00:00Z
Epic location, character, charming!! And brings you back to the days before phones took over our lives, great placeBernard 2017-01-09T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay in the cottage. It was surprisingly nice not having any service on our mobiles for 4 days and really felt like a holiday. Louise and Chris left us a bottle of wine which was a nice surprise. The more were logs ready for the fire and all the beds were made up nicely. The directions to this hard to find cottage were great and it was a good to come back to our own slice of Wales after a long day mountain biking. Thanks for you hospitality. Chris + friends.Chris2016-07-19T00:00:00Z
The location is stunning, the cottage is beautiful, clean, warm, the beds are comfortable and overall the space is great! We loved the living room and log burner for those cosy evenings. Louise was really helpful when the emergency phone was out of use and she offered her landline should we need to be contacted by a poorly family member. We experienced a few problems though. On check in we struggled to find the place as the directions were not easy to follow and we travelled in the dark. As there was no signal, we couldn't contact Louise for help so ended up bothering a local farmer at 10pm who took us to the house. We would never have found our way without him. The route is not clear and the gates/route is very confusing. But we got there in the end and it was fine. The next stress was check out, when we woke up to it snowing! We checked the forecast before the trip and no snow was predicted by due to having no wifi or signal we couldn't check the weather the night before. So we rushed our check out but due to the steep farm paths we got snowed in. Again, not able to contact Louise and there was no grit or anything nearby to help. We called on another farmer this time who helped us with his grit and tractor, which was great, but awkward and not what we expected to have to on our weekend to get away from stress. Eventually, we got out after much pushing and scraping the track and made it home safe. It was a real shame for us to have had the experience with check in and check out because it tainted the overall stay for us. The place is lovely and beautiful and we enjoyed our time in the actual cottage.Kelly2017-03-05T00:00:00Z
I would highly recommend a stay at Louise's place in Snowdonia NP. The house is clean, cosy and comfy, and the surroundings are very secluded and beautiful. This is the perfect place to wind down (without internet or cell phone reception) and explore the mountains of Wales. We would love to come back soon!Kirstine2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
Lovely cottage in the middle of nowhere - better in the flesh than the photos show. Nice and toasty and warm, and everything you could need for your stay. The children thought it was great.nicola2016-12-30T00:00:00Z

Melin Meloch is a lovely place to stay. Well appointed, clean and in an ideal situation for exploring the surrounding area. Close to Bala for easy supplies and meals etc. We were made very welcome by Richard and Lenka. Looking forward to a return visit !Adrian2017-04-13T00:00:00Z
Our stay at Melin Meloch was great! The cottage is perfect for 4-5 guests. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need for short and long holidays. Unfortunately we could not met Richard but we met her partner who managed everything perfectly. She even left a fire starter kit for us to use. This enhanced our rural experience! An important thing to mention too is that everything was very clean.Pablo2017-04-17T00:00:00Z
State at Richard's and Lenka's cottage for 2 nights and absolutely loved it!! Lenka was very kind and helpful. The cottage was clean and well equipped - very cosy. The only issue we faced was with the heating as we couldn't manage to change the settings, so we made fire in the fireplace instead until the central heating kicked in a few hours later. All in all, we had a fabulous time and are already planning our next trip to the cottage .carolin2017-04-30T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful stay! Richard and Lenka were wonderful hosts. The little cottage is full of charm and outside there is a little garden that makes it feel like a magical place. The location is excellent and central, with all of the national park within reach. At the time that we stayed - we were the first guests I believe - this was incredible value for money and the pictures actually did not do it justice, making it a really amazing find.Dinis2017-04-03T00:00:00Z

Absolutely faultless. It was well catered for and very clean. We were a group of 8 people from different walks of life and each of us were impressed, so much so that we are planning individually to book again with our respective families.Anoob2016-07-04T00:00:00Z
We stayed at the cottage for Christams as a group of 8 adults and 4 children. This was a special family trip and we had a wonderful time. The cottage was outstanding and perfect for what we wanted. I also cannot speak highly enough of Rebecca (Boo). She really went above and beyond with her flexibility to accommodate us and was so friendly and welcoming. We will surely be back and would highly recommend this as place to stay.John2015-12-26T00:00:00Z

Rebecca was fantastic in regards to helping with the surrounding area. upon arriving she introduced herself and she had a nice conversation with our group and thereafter showed us around. upon leaving rebecca also came and sat with us. with regards to the this listing, what we found was that the listing was not as described as it was even better than the pictures!!Munira2015-07-24T00:00:00Z
We had a very warm welcome from Rebecca, and she was always available in case of any problems. The cottages were really lovely and very well equipped, so you don't need to take anything with you, except food and personal items. The cottages are easy to find, we didn't have a satnav and had no trouble getting to them. The area is very peaceful, no road noise and loads of wildlife to see.lisa2015-08-03T00:00:00Z
We had a fantastic time at Cae Coryn Cottage. Boo gave the first of our group the tour and then left us to our own devices. Each of the rooms were a perfect size and the kitchens were very well equipped. Plus the cottage had the nicest coffee going. Hopefully see you again. Dave and the gang.David2016-02-21T00:00:00Z

The house is huge and perfect for large social groups. Very clean and extremely well equipped with all you could want. We enjoyed having the log burner on and being so close to Snowdonia. Bala also has a great little high street to keep you entertained. Liam is an excellent host with clear and helpful communication. Highly recommend! :)Jacqueline2017-03-12T00:00:00Z
A 3.5 star would be more accurate if we could give it. This is a lovely property and Liam was very attentive. It is obviously a work in progress, in early stages, and unfortunately lacked some practical things which were particularly noticeable and awkward as we were a group of 10. All are easily addressed (enough crockery, cooking utensils). There were lovely touches, especially the wood fire, and the location is great - right in the heart of Bala. Liam was easy to contact and helpful.Shiuli2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

Sue and James could not be more welcoming. After walking up Snowdon their home was a welcomed delight. The room and ensuite were immaculate, and the bed was incredibly comfortable! What makes this place special though is the people. Sue and James make you feel right at home as soon as you arrive. They sent me on my way with a belly full of delicious cooked breakfast. I won't be forgetting these people anytime soon, it's just given me another excuse to come back to North Wales.Nina2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Sue & James place was amazing. The location was beautiful, right on top of the white water centre in Bala. The bedroom was cosy, extremely comfortable and we felt that we had our own privacy aswell as being made to feel welcome. And to top it off, had a beautiful cooked breakfast made for us with continental available too. Thanks again guys, and hopefully see you again next time we're in BalaNicky2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

Sue and James were wonderful hosts. Their house is located in a beautiful part of Snowdonia. The area was quiet and peaceful and a short drive from Bala. They were both very friendly and made us feel welcome in their home. The room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast both days was excellent. We enjoyed the eggs from their chickens!!

This was the first night in a five day motorcycle tour of Wales. We had a very warm welcome from Philippa and shown to a comfortable room with great (hot) shower next door which we had for our sole use. Good breakfast choice offered by Philippa and served in her comfy country kitchen. The local pub at the bottom of a steep hill serves great food and is very friendly. However the 10 min stroll down the hill turned into a 25 minute slog back up - but that may be because we are unfit towniesDave2016-08-29T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful time staying at Pen y Braich. Phillipa was a most lovely lady who made us so very welcome. The accomodation is beautiful, clean and you have everything you could possibly need. Stunning views of the valley Breakfast was a delight and set us up for the morning. We will hopefully be back in the spring next year.julie2015-11-01T00:00:00Z

Our stay was so peaceful and relaxing and it was ideal to get away from the hustle and bustle. Phillippa was an excellent host and really made us feel welcome in her home. The breakfast was delicious and set us up for a good day of walking in the surrounding area. Philippa even made a special journey to get some brown sauce. The view from the house is lovely and there are plenty of walks and we even learned a little bit about Geocaching at the local pub, which serves good home cooked food. Lovely stay overall and highly recommended.Helen2016-08-08T00:00:00Z
We really enjoyed our stay with Philippa, she made us very welcome and couldn't have done any more to make us comfortable. There were lots of little extras in the room such as a great selection of hot drinks, fresh milk, even spare toothbrushes in case you forget your own! The views from the house are super, as is the breakfast which Philippa kindly prepared earlier than normal for us. I can highly recommend a visit to the pub at the bottom of the hill, the food is amazing and the owners are very welcoming-it's only a 10 min walk down the steep hill, and the walk back up certainly warms you up!Sam2015-10-18T00:00:00Z

Lovers sanitized places without personality refrain! If you want to bring the family in Wales and immerse yourself in the living areas of a local family, Billy's house is perfect. He was not there but we were able to contact him during the stay, and her friend Helen was there to greet us and explain everything to us. We took advantage of cats and toys available. And, as said in a previous review, Billy music accompanied us later in our trip ... Thanks Billy for sharing all this with us!Clement2016-07-31T00:00:00Z
The place was really cosy. We liked it a lot. We enjoyed our stay. Billy provided us with all information and thus we could locate the place easily. The house has all the facilities.

We had a great short stay - Billy's house was very homely and comfortable and we settled in really easily. Lake Bala gave us a couple of stunning sunset walks, but the best feature(s) by far were THE CATS! Fwtsy, Dida and Seren are the most sociable and loving creatures on the planet, and they seemed very happy with the attention the three children lavished upon them. (It also gave me some much-needed peace and quiet). We felt as though we had a home in Bala for two short days. Billy's CD also got us nearly all the way home to London in a party mood! Thanks for the stay Billy. Fraser, Hollie, Louis and Lola XFraser2015-08-27T00:00:00Z

We had an excellent stay, the cabin is such a beautiful setting next to the stream. Perfect for a peaceful get away.Ross2017-04-23T00:00:00Z
This was my first time using Air BnB so I did a lot of research into looking for a cabin/love getaway close to rural Wales. I could not have been happier with my choice. The cabin is very comfortable and a perfect size for a couple, the photos cannot do it justice. It has all the amenities you need, a comfy bed, rain shower, fast broadband and had been heated up ready for our arrival. Mel and Mick are very accommodating hosts, we were given advice on the local area - there are some local walks and mountains we would love to do on our next trip. The town has plenty of eateries, pubs, and a nice chocolate shop we took advantage of! We very much enjoyed our dip in the hot tub which was most welcome after an arduous climb up Snowdon, again a gesture of our hosts. There is a small babbling brook next to the cabin which just adds to the feeling of a country getaway. It's location is ideal for exploring North Wales - Snowdon, Portmeirion and Zip World were all within an hours drive. I highly recommend this cabin and I have already done so to friends and family!Neil2016-05-03T00:00:00Z
We spent a really nice long weekend at the Caban. The setting is beautiful and the location (in a little village about 15-20 mins walk to Bala) was excellent. There is loads of good walking straight from the doorstep. Inside, there was everything we wanted and all finished to a high standard. Mel and Mick were helpful and friendly hosts too. We'd definitely stay again!Jen2015-06-16T00:00:00Z
Very relaxing stay in this immaculate, well-equipped cabin. Great communication with Mel before and during our stay. Luckily we had stunning weather so were able to use the lovely, peaceful outdoor space too. I haven't been to this part of Wales before but Bala lake is fantastic, as well as being a good base for cycling along the estuary to Barmouth and for climbing Snowdon. I would definitely recommend this place to stay!Claire2016-06-06T00:00:00Z
We had excellent information in Advance on how to get to the cabin and gain access. It was beautiful and well equipped. The location is wonderful, peaceful and surrounded by nature.

A truly wonderful stay at this lovely cabin. The cabin was clean and had everything we could need. Loacted in a small and secluded hamlet but an easy 15 minute walk into the quaint town of Bala. The hot tub was a wonderful addition which was very much needed after roaming the hills of Wales! Thank you for a wonderful stay Mel and Mick.Joanne2017-04-10T00:00:00Z

This is a mainstream B&B that is also listed on sites such as Trivago and (URL HIDDEN) The room prices are higher if you book through them but the rooms are also bigger and have a TV. Our room was spotlessly clean, nice and warm, had plenty of hot water and had tea & coffee making facilities and complementary toiletries including a shower cap. The house is extremely quiet and Carys and Dewi are lovely hosts and serve a lovely breakfast.Tracey2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

My daughter and I had a wonderful week staying at the Pigsty which really is in a most stunning setting. It was great visiting the area in the fall and off-peak. We hardly came across anyone else when we hiked up Mount Snowdon. The accommodation was very comfortable and quirky with the sauna which was amazing after a days walking or riding. We really enjoyed watching films on the big screen in the evenings. Toby and Stephanie answered any queries very promptly - perfect hosts. We certainly missed the underfloor heating when we got back home! Thank you for everything Toby and Stephanie.Caroline2014-11-22T00:00:00Z

We loved staying at the Pigsty! The scenery was breathtaking - and right outside our door! We loved the accommodation with the sauna, comfy bed, movie projector and having Polly come in for a cuddle and pat! The underfloor heating was great too. The surrounding gardens are great to explore, especially the zipline! We had a few turns on that ;) Stephanie and Toby were great hosts and very easy to contact. We'd definitely stay hrre again when in Wales!Kate2015-11-25T00:00:00Z
We absolutely loved our stay at the Pigsty! Everything about it was fantastic! Toby was great at communicating beforehand and gave us directions (although it was easy to find). The place is amazing, it has everything you could need and more. The Pigsty itself is comfortable and we loved having the sauna and the projector screen - we felt very spoilt! The grounds are also great, we enjoyed exploring and finding the zipline, fort and the lake! Only wish we had more time to take a kayak out! The trampoline was also loads of fun. Toby greeted us with fresh bread and there were eggs and fresh coffee in the Pigsty itself. We loved exploring the wider area too and Toby gave us some recommendations of where to get some good food and drink in Bala itself! We would definitely want to visit again and would recommend this to everyone!Helen2016-09-12T00:00:00Z
Everything about our stay was perfect! Definitely plan to visit again, hopefully soonjen marie2016-10-06T00:00:00Z
Toby and Stephanie were commensurate hosts, an ideal combination of warm, welcoming and helpful whilst facilitating privacy. We enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing stay in a unique dwelling and equally unique location. A rare find in terms of facilities, environment and value.Andrew2017-01-08T00:00:00Z
This was our second stay at the Pigsty and, once again, it was great to visit this special location to recharge our batteries and enjoy the scenery and the facilities. Stephanie and Toby are fantastic and welcoming hosts and went the extra mile to provide us with vegetarian evening meals and a lift into Bala - we'd arrived by public transport on this occasion so weren't able to bring much food with us! The Pigsty is unlike anywhere else we've stayed and the sauna and cinema facilities feel so luxurious! And it's great fun to sleep on the sleeping platform with wonderful views of the starry skies. The trampoline is wonderful too and affords great views of the magnificent scenery! And don't forget to have a go on the zip wire and a visit to the lake! Highly recommended.Claire2016-10-25T00:00:00Z

Comfortable room & bed. Easy-to-use shower in bathroom next to bedroom. Quiet and relaxing. Llanderfel is a small quaint and beautiful village. For dinner, we took a scenic 10 min walk to the Bryntirion Inn. Wide menu, tasty and generous portions. On return, Serena shared her red wine with us and we had a lovely evening chatting. Serena is a warm and relaxed host. Provided worth a solid Continental breakfast with real coffee. Thanks Serena. Great value. Highly recommended.Les2015-09-06T00:00:00Z
My partner and I stayed here as we had dinner booked at Pale Hall but couldn't afford their hotel prices. This was a great alternative, 10-15min walk from Pale Hall. Serena was a fantastic host and lovely person. This was fantastic value for money.Ashley2017-05-11T00:00:00Z
Had a very nice stay in Serena's home, in a nice and very clean house with a comfortable bed and every service provided! It was indeed really cosy and Serena took every effort to make us feel welcome and at home. The breakfast was delicious and over all I'd strongly recommend to take a trip to this beautiful place in the countryside close to Bala Lake!Benedikt2015-06-25T00:00:00Z
Excellent experience at a lovely location with a superkind host. The room is cosy, the bed very comfortable, and the bathroom is decorated with art! For the 3 days we stayed, Serena provided us with a superb breakfast and was kind enough to answer all our questions about what it's like to live on the Welsh countryside. As for the neighborhood: the cottage is in a small estate, very calm and peaceful, where you'll see kids going to school and chat with neighbours who are on their way to work. The area is stunning and there are simply too many medieval castles, Victorian gardens and nature reserves to visit! Marjan and I hope to return to Serena one day - this was exactly the lovely-and-lifelike kind of experience we hoped to get with airbnb.Marloes2016-05-06T00:00:00Z
Serena's place was perfectly located for visiting Snowdonia and surrounding attractions. The house was in a quiet street and had a fantastic little pub down the road. Serena was extremely hospitable and made our stay very enjoyable.Lamda & Marilla2016-07-15T00:00:00Z
Serena was lovely and helpful. She has a beautiful house, but the best was sharing a nice chat with her in a comfy atmosphere! Breakfast was fantastic :)Esther2016-08-23T00:00:00Z
Serena is a very kind person, she waited for us until late with a very big smile. She offered us much more than we agreed. The room was wonderful, big and well-looked, with good pillows and a good mattress; the breakfast was huge. We could enjoy a good conversation with Serena and she recommended some good places for visiting in Wales. We totally recommend Serena house!Victor2015-05-24T00:00:00Z
Lovely stay with a lovely lady, we had great talks in the kitchen and amazing breakfast. The bed was really comfy and everything was super-clean. Hrr house and everything in it make it very special and unique and made us feel at home immediatrly. We'd always choose this place again!!

A perfect, cosy, secluded, beautifully designed cottage, readying you for the world outside to be explored.Chris2017-01-22T00:00:00Z
Karen was very friendly and greeted us when we arrived. Her place had everything we needed and was very cosy. Great for walking in the countryside and escaping the city.Carolyn2017-01-29T00:00:00Z
Karen was a great host and the accommodation was adorable :) it had everything we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in North Wales. Loved the underfloor heating especially in this weather :) Felt like a home from home and would definitely recommend.Helen2016-01-30T00:00:00Z
We spent two wonderful nights with our dog at Karen's. The cottage was exactly as described - comfy, warm, peaceful location and everything you need for a self-catering break. It was easy to find and not far from a lot of spectacular walks and day trips, plus, there are walks right from the cottage if you don't want to drive. I high recommend staying here for anyone looking for a peaceful country break.Tessa2016-11-03T00:00:00Z
We've just had a lovely couple of days here. It was really easy to find, Karen's directions were excellent. The Stable is beautifully thought out, lots of little touches which make the space really comfortable. Beautiful walking on your doorstep but also within easy reach of mountain walks in the park. Keen to return and get on the bikes too!!Hannah2017-04-08T00:00:00Z
Karen and Richard (and Jack!) were fabulous hosts. We experienced a very personal welcome and were made to feel at home! A small jug of milk was available for our first morning, along with coffee, tea and sugar which was a lovely touch. The cottage is small, but makes incredible use of the space and provides innovative storage - a very cozy home away from home! We could easily spend a week here and look forward to coming back to explores the gorgeous Snowdonia National Park. Mahalo! Virginia & LeeVirginia & Lee2016-09-19T00:00:00Z
Had a great stay at Ty Beic. Was everything we needed for a long weekend travelling around North Wales. Karen and Richard very friendly and welcoming and we couldn't have asked anything else of the cottage! Would definitely stay again!Allyson2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

Lowri's cottage is absolutely delightful. The location was perfect as wanted a quiet, scenic getaway over Easter, and Llanuwchllyn provides just that. The nearby Bala is also lovely for browsing the shops or eating out. With the heaters and fire the cottage is nice and cosy and was immaculate upon arrival. The kitchen is well-equipped and there was even a jar of hot cross buns and a chocolate bunny waiting for us! Check in was smooth as Lowri provided us with detailed instructions on how to find both the cottage and the key, and she had lit the fire and the heaters earlier in the afternoon so the cottage was nice and warm for us. All in all a 5* place to stay, thank you so much for everything :)Natalie2017-04-17T00:00:00Z
Lowri's cottage is perfect for small families for short trip to Snowdonia. The location is quite right being very close to Bala station, Bala lake and market place in Bala town. The cottage is nicely decorated. Lowri was a perfect host, at the check-in the fire was lit, cottage was quite warm. I highly recommend Lowri's cottage.Manish2017-04-20T00:00:00Z
What an amazing place! Me, my parents and my brother stayed there for 2 nights during the Easter holidays and we were just stunned by the beauty and peace that welcomed us there. At the same time being a very short distance from shops and restaurants in Bala town. The place was pristine and very cosy with all the amenities as well as beautifully decorated. An evening by the fireplace and with a game of scrabble was perfect after conquering the Snowdon. Would definitely come again and recommend to others.Kristīne2017-04-14T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely weekend away and were really lucky with the weather! The cottage is really modern and well looked after. The check in and directions were clear. Lowri wasn't there when we arrived, but called to check we got in ok. Lowri also arranged a high chair and offered a cot bed for our little boy. The Peppa pig chocolates went down well with him too. Lowri also suggested a local event at the train station that was suitable for our son which was very thoughtful. We did find the cottage a little chilly, but the wood burner helped us warm up in the evenings. We ate at the pub a few mins walk down the road on the first night which was really nice. They were very accommodating to our 16month boy too.Ellie2017-03-27T00:00:00Z
Great cottage in a perfect location for walks and with a local pub only a short walk away! Really cosy and clean! A perfect getaway for couples.Rebecca2017-05-14T00:00:00Z
We just got back from our weekend stay in Llanuwchllyn and already can't wait to go back. The cottage is so cosy and presented to such a high standard. Everything we needed was there, even the logs and kindling for the fire which was already roaring as we arrived. Check in and check out was so easy and communication with Lowri was simple. The village is beautiful with so many stunning walks through the hills! We took a trip out to Porthmadog and Portmeirion and the drive was spectacular. I couldn't recommended this place more for a secluded Welsh getaway!Aimée2017-04-03T00:00:00Z
I had a lovely stay here last weekend for my birthday. Lowri was very welcoming and even though she didn't need to she stayed to welcome us to the cottage and had the fire going before we arrived . The pictures don't do the cottage much justice and it's so much more than the photos. It's cosy and welcoming and was perfect for our stay. We wanted to climb snowdon and Lowri recommend that we get there early as it gets busy and this was fantastic advise. I only wish that in her welcome pack there were suggestions on places to eat. This is not even a negative just a recommendation. Thank you so much Lowri and see you when we come back. Issie xoIsabelle2017-03-13T00:00:00Z
The cottage is beautiful and well equipped with everything you could need for a short stay. We used it as a base for lots of walking, and the location was perfect. Tea and biscuits were well received after a day of walking and exploring. Lowri and her husband were very helpful with recommendations of stunning places to visit close by. We loved our stay!Sophie2017-04-12T00:00:00Z

Lovely little house in Snowdonia National Park. Very clean and well equipped. Easy check in and out. We didn't need to bother Kelly with anything. Nice thoughtful touches, eg cake left for us! Thank you! The house is in a lovely location with a pretty little garden. It's situated foot steps away from a steam railway that goes to Bala. Highly recommended. Beautiful views of the lake and a cute town. Also highly recommend Harlech castle and beach...a little further but absolutely stunning. Enjoy!(EMAIL HIDDEN)2016-07-05T00:00:00Z
We had a great experience at this cottage. The location was good, the house was clean and comfortable. We did not meet the owners but they left some delicious Muffins and lots of info about the area. All in all, we highly recommend this cottage.Ellen2015-08-15T00:00:00Z
Thank you for the use of your cottage for our thoroughly enjoyable visit to Snowdonia. The information provided in advance of our trip was accurate and very helpful in finding the house location and access to the property. Although we didn't meet Kelly during our stay, there was ample information in the cottage both for the house itself and the surrounding area. The villagers were all very friendly and the village pub is very accommodating! The house is cosy and had all we needed to enjoy our holiday and it is definitely on we would be happy to return to.Andrew2016-06-05T00:00:00Z

We received all the information we needed very rapidly from Kelly. It helps when you come from abroad and when you stay for a short period only. We loved the welcome cookies.

Loved this magical spot deep in the forest. Lindsey and Pat are lovely hosts, very friendly and helpful. All is as described, tent was very well equipped, nothing else needed, even tea and coffee supplied. Beds were lovely and cosy with mattresses, sheets and fluffy duvets. Campfire was welcome at night under the stars as it got chilly, and the animals were a constant source of entertainment. Recommended for all, but particularly those who love camping but like a proper bed and hate putting tents up and down. Thanks for a lovely couple of days.Hilary2016-08-31T00:00:00Z
Thanks for a lovely weekend Linsdsey, the area is beautiful, the set up there is perfect and everything we needed was thought of. The animals were lots of fun too :)Caitlin2016-08-08T00:00:00Z
It was an awesome camping experience. It's in the middle of a forest, but Lindsey gave us accurate directions to get there so didn't have much of a problem. Their dogs (Jess and Marley) are the cutest and most friendliest dogs ever. Make sure to get all your supplies when before arriving as nearest town centre is 20mins away and shops might be closed. Met some fellow campers from Lancashire as well and had the most amazing night ever !! Cheers to Lindsey and her family for the amazing setup !! :DClinton2016-08-10T00:00:00Z
Most comfortable way of camping in a tent! Lindsey had prepared with comfortable mattresses and an awesome fluffy duvet, perfect since it was a bit chilly. The camper cooking stove and necessary kitchen utensils were all there, and Lindsey gave us a warm welcome, showing us the emu and cute mini pig. On the spot were also another two companies of Airbnbers, with which we had a nice chit chat around the campfire (beware of mosquitos and midges!)Sofia2016-07-25T00:00:00Z
Lindsey and Pat are very friendly and helpful. They are great family living in the heart of the forest hosting others with respect. We had wonderful time with my two kids who loved animals especially jess. The only bad point is we were struggling to take my children out as they wanted to live there forever!!Basir2016-08-16T00:00:00Z

The Lovereading4Kids comment
This is the terrifying seventh title in the Wardstone Chronicles about a young 13 year old boy training to be an exorcist. Ideal for readers who have outgrown Harry Potter, but be prepared the titles are very scary so for anyone brave enough from 10+, rest assured they will be utterly gripped and terrified in equal measure. Thomas Ward is the seventh son of a seventh son and has been apprenticed to the local Spook. The job is hard, the Spook is distant and many apprentices have failed before Thomas. But somehow Thomas learns to cope with the horrors he faces including the exorcising of ghosts, containing witches and binding boggarts but life is never easy or straightforward in a job like this. With the publication of each and every new book there is an avid fan base who feel as passionate about the series as those who first read Harry Potter so why not jump on the band wagon and get reading. You can start here by clicking on the link below and read the whole of the first book The Spook's Apprentice. We're pretty sure you'll get hooked.
To celebrate publication of The Spook's Nightmare, you can read the first book The Spook's Apprentice online, for free. Visit www.spooksbooks.com by Friday 25th June to read the first spine-chilling instalment then check back for part two…
A film of the first one The Spook's Apprentice is currently in development and the author, Joseph Delaney, comments: "I'm thrilled and delighted to hear that the creator of the excellent Enchanted is to direct the film adaptation of my book. It's brilliant news!"
The Spook's Nightmare (Wardstone Chronicles 7) by Joseph Delaney
The Spook, Tom and Alice return from Greece to find the County under siege - and the Spook's home is burnt to the ground. With his precious library of knowledge destroyed, they seek refuge on the nearby island of Mona. But with Mona in the thrall of a twisted Shaman there is little respite from hostility or denizens of the dark. And as Alice dodges the ever-tightening net of the island's witch hunters, a more deadly enemy emerges...Bony Lizzie, freshly-escaped from the Spook's bonds, has grand ambitions: to take for herself the throne of isle. She has harnessed the services of a tunnel-dwelling buggane, an evil creature which thrives on stealing the animas, or life force, from its unsuspecting victims. With the buggane as her secret weapon can she become an all-powerful Witch Queen?

Stella, born into a Polish Family, was 13 when she recorded her first EP. Between 1963 and 1969, she recorded 9 EPs, 2 singles and an LP (also issued in the US). Her songs were always funny and ironic. Her uncle Chorenslup used to write her lyrics, he was to her what Jacques Lanzman was to Dutronc (Jacques Dutronc, Françoise Hardy's husband, is one of the best sixties' French singers).
In the 70s, Stella married Christian Vander, drummer and spiritual leader of Magma, the most legendary French progressive band. She was actually part of the band too. She had another solo LP in '91 as Stella Vander.
7. This artist name also scrobbles viewings of the cancelled Comedy Central show, "Stella," an absurdist comedy staring Michael Showalter, Michael Ian Black, and David Wain.

Atlanta United vs. Minnesota United
March 12th was a historic day for numerous reasons. Minnesota United, longtime members of the North American Soccer League, played their home opener in their inaugural Major League Soccer season against fellow expansion team Atlanta United. It's been a long time coming for MNUFC and not an easy journey by any means. Vikings' ownership was pushing hard for an MLS expansion bid, showcasing how a game would look in US Bank Stadium while MNUFC ownership fought for their team's right to move up, being the established team while having plans to build a stadium dedicated to soccer. Minnesota United's patience and dedication was rewarded and here we are, MLS has come to Minnesota.Read More
Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Minnesota Gophers
Well, it's been a while but here I am with another post and it's not hockey related! It's always good to have some variety and I'm bringing that with some Gopher basketball. The Gophers are 3/4ths of the way through their schedule currently and still vying for a spot in March Madness. Iowa hasn't had a great season considering last year they were as high as #4 in the AP poll.Read More
Columbus vs. Minnesota
A classic New Years Eve match up. Two win streaks battling it out for supremacy. 14 wins in a row vs. 12 wins in a row. Two teams in the NHL that are top 5 in the league. It's...Columbus vs. Minnesota? WHAT?! Yes, it's true. The Columbus Blue Jackets and the Minnesota Wild faced off on December 31, 2016 to close out this crazy, insane year in the best way possible: Columbus riding a 14 game win streak in St. Paul against Minnesota's 12 game win streak.Read More

This rural Pennsylvania-based duo performs on an
impressive array of instruments, including two violins, mandolin,
hammered dulcimer, and guitar plus some more unusual instruments
like the bowed psaltery, banjolin, baritone fiddle, and doumbek.
Simple Gifts presents a wide variety of ethnic folk music, including
everything from lively Irish jigs and down-home American reels
to hard-driving Klezmer frailachs, haunting Gypsy melodies, and
exotic Balkan dance tunes. Throughout their performances, they
put their own distinctive stamp on traditional tunes, blending
styles from diverse cultures with their American roots. Admission
to the concert is $7 ($5 Hampshire County Arts Council members.
Under 17 free.) Participation in the Muscians' Workshop is $5.
According to the Celtic Classic Festival in Bethlehem, PA, "few
musicians can match the warmly personal stage presence Simple
Gifts possesses." It is obvious that these women love the music
they play, and they know how to share their enthusiasm with the
Linda Littleton and Karen Hirshon have performed as Simple Gifts

Again," won a Crossroads Music award in the acoustic instrumental
category. The recording includes traditional music from Romania,
Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece, Ireland, Scotland, France, Denmark,
and America, plus an original composition by each group member.
"Listening to [Simple Gifts] is like sampling an international
buffet ... The number of instruments they pick up in a typical
concert makes the group anything but simple. ... (This is) acoustic
music of the highest order."

A seizure is caused by extra electrical activity between the cells in the brain. This activity causes physical or behavioral changes, which range from intense full body shaking to mild staring and lip smacking.
Epilepsy is the name of the chronic medical disorder in which a person has repeated seizures. There are many types of epilepsy, ranging from benign to intense.
There are many causes of epilepsy. Patients can have one or more of the following:
There are more than three million people in the United States with epilepsy; most of them are children and elderly people.
Helpful resources:
The symptoms of a seizure depend on the location of electrical activity in the brain. Symptoms can vary in intensity and may be subtle (like staring into space) or intense (such as full body shaking).
During a generalized seizure, the surge of electrical activity affects the whole brain. There are several types of generalized seizure, including:
Partial seizures are caused by excess electrical activity in just one part of the brain. The electrical activity may stay in one area or travel to other areas of the brain.
A simple partial seizure varies from child to child. It can involve movement (jerking one part of the body), abnormal sensation, or a premonition called an "aura" where the child can sense that a seizure is coming. The area of the body affected depends on what part of the brain is affected. During simple partial seizures, the child always stays alert and aware.
A complex partial seizure may look similar to a simple partial seizure, but will always involve loss of awareness. The child may have a simple partial seizure (starting in just one part of the brain) that spreads to a different area of the brain and causes a loss of awareness. You may see the child lip smacking, picking at clothes, wandering, making chewing motions, or it may suddenly become hard to understand the child's speech. Both types of partial seizures last only for a few minutes.
Epilepsy is a medical condition that produces seizures. Epilepsy is defined as two or more seizures that cannot be traced to another brain event like a concussion or an extremely high fever. The two seizures are usually separated in time by 24 hours.
At Children's Hospital Colorado, we have a variety of high-tech evaluations to test and diagnose epilepsy. Tests include long-term video electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring, intraoperative EEG monitoring, neuroimaging, brain mapping and in-depth neuropsychological testing.
We also have state-of-the-art equipment used for determining where the seizures start in the brain; this is often used to prepare someone with difficult-to-treat epilepsy for epilepsy surgery. These tests range from functional neuroimaging such as PET and SPECT scans, to functional MRI scans, Wada testing, magnetoencephalography, diffusion tensor imaging and other techniques.
Usually, a patient is diagnosed with epilepsy after two or more seizures separated by 24 hours in time that are not related to a high fever, concussion or other event.
At Children's Hospital Colorado, we provide different types of treatment for epilepsy including traditional anticonvulsant medications, dietary therapies, access to ongoing drug studies, vagal nerve stimulation and epilepsy surgery.
Most children with epilepsy are able to control their seizures with medications. About 60% of pediatric patients with epilepsy respond well to their first medication. About 10% will have seizures treated by a second or third med and then 30% will have intractable or difficult to control by medication alone seizures. For those patients who have epilepsy that is very localized or difficult to treat, surgery may be an option.
Rescue medications are sometimes given for the family to use at home for breakthrough seizures and can include midazolam nasal spray or a rectal suppository such as Diastat. Watch this video for step-by-step directions on how to administer intranasal midazolam if it has been prescribed by your provider.
If surgery is needed, our Pediatric Surgical Epilepsy Program provides the only comprehensive treatment program for chronic seizure disorders in the region. Brain Lab® image-guidance surgery allows our neurosurgeons to perform complex brain operations with virtual visualization of the critical brain structures and the location of seizure onset.
Our neurosurgeons use state-of-the-art laser technology to target deep brain lesions through very small openings. Robotics is also used in the operating room to precisely place electrodes that can localize a hard to find seizure onset zone.
Experts at our Pediatric Epilepsy Program provide comprehensive care for babies, kids and young adults who suffer from seizures and seizure disorders. Our patients range from children who have just experienced their first seizure, to those suffering from chronic and debilitating epilepsy.
Our Pediatric Epilepsy Program offers state-of-the-art treatment and evaluation by a multidisciplinary team consisting of neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, social workers, nurses, dieticians and epileptologists (doctors who specialize in the treatment of epilepsy) who are all trained in pediatric epilepsy. We're also closely affiliated with local organizations and epilepsy resources to understand and meet the needs of our patients.
In addition, Children's Colorado is located on the Anschutz Medical Campus, a major medical campus that provides access to comprehensive, high-quality care for pediatric patients, as well as education and research efforts in epilepsy.

Hello, My Name Is Timothy
Or just Tim, if you're into the whole brevity thing. I know that's a pretty intense picture up there, but I like to thing I'm a pretty casual guy. Forced smiles in pictures just isn't my thing.
Anyway, I'm a writer who got tired of people not reading the things he wrote. So I relaunched a long abandoned blog in the hopes that maybe people out there will enjoy my random thoughts and stories. Despite what some might try to tell you, writers do not just write for themselves. Writing for yourself is like trying to give yourself a shoulder massage. It's a lot of work for little satisfaction.
Or something like that….
Anyway, there's a lot of things in life that I'm really not certain about. But I'm fairly positive that there's a God and he put me on this earth to write and tell stories and things like that. Creatives gotta create, right?
So this is me creating. Best case scenario, I'll even entertain, inspire, and bring hope. I love to give hope.
Hope can sustain a person long past the point where they should have given up. If I can make a person's day just a bit brighter, if I can make them smile for just a second, then I have succeeded.
I live in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, and I also like coffee. Really, beverages as a whole are pretty great. Except water. Water is highly overrated.
If you'd like to know more about me, or you'd like to share something about yourself, just hop over to the Connect page and shoot me a message.
Here's what other people have said about me:
-My friend Nicole
"The later it gets, the more he sounds like Yoda."
–My friend Rachel
"He confuses me with big words and intelligent sentences"
-Haley Abbott
"He writes like an old sage that is all knowing and inspirational."
-Alex Kubicek
"We've always thought he was very special."
–My parents
"I hate how well clothes fit him."
-Dave Olson
"He's really attractive."
-Random drunken woman I met on the sidewalk once

Recently, I've noticed that I've been replaying fighting games that I wasn't originally big on and finding new characters that I like to play as, thereby making the game feel fresh to me. The first game was Tekken Tag Tournament. I got the HD version not too long ago and was disappointed that everything was unlocked from the start for me. What else is there to do when there's no online mode? However, at random, I picked Kunimitsu and started really enjoying the game as I learned her move set and found it to my liking. I kept playing through Arcade mode over and over just because I enjoyed playing as Kunimitsu and I wanted to play more as her and get better with her fighting style.
Recently, I've been wanting to play a Mortal Kombat game since Mortal Kombat X just came out but I don't have any way to play it. So I've been playing Mortal Kombat 3, a game that, again, I wasn't hugely into back in the day but have found renewed interest in thanks to finding a new character I really liked that I didn't play before. This time, it was Cyrax and I've been getting better and better with him. The other night I beat the game three times with relative ease! I've even learn a couple of exploits that lets me beat Motaro and Shao Kahn without dying…much. When I do it right, I beat them no problem but sometimes I screw up so that's why I keep dying and why I need to practice.
I just thought I would blog about this occurrence because it just goes to show that if a game is really good, it doesn't matter how old it is. There's a chance that you can still find something new in it that'll make it brand new all over again. Do you have any games that you have played before that you found something new about it to like after you revisit it? Tell me in the comments. Peace and Love, Gamers and Players! Colorwind out.

Japanther Videos
Do it or not do. That's the Yoda way and Japanther sorta pay homage to that.
Japanther will release Instant Money Magic on April 15.
The new track, "Do It (Don't Try)," is posted below and it will ROCK your socks off.
It has sort of a garage-y vibe that we dig. Like it? Then download it at soundcloud.com.
Free music is good. Free, good music is better.
Don't try -- just do it.
Did you enjoy your free Japanther download?
