This attractive Tipi, with magnificent views over wooded rolling hillsides and a patchwork of well tended fields dotted with small manor houses is a short drive from Bala Lake. Offering a perfect base for exploring the Snowdonia National Park, the location means that a wide range of other areas can also easily be reached for exploration on foot.

Set on a hillside above the River Dee in the beautiful Vale of Ederynion, the eastern gateway to The Snowdonia National Park, this little retreat, is comfortably furnished, supplied with everything for a unique experience. Comfortable futon beds, blankets, sheepskins, cooking pots, crockery and cutlery. In fact all you need are sleeping bags, a sense of adventure and yourselves.
