Exceptional cottage on beautiful grounds. Very well looked after and maintained. Gamekeepers Cottage has a very large garden leading to a large pond and has outstanding views in front. Large amount of crockery and utensils - everything that you need! As a group we felt that the lounge furniture was rather uncomfortable as the seat cushions would move forward and you would have to repeatedly fix them (fixed seating would be better). The only downside to this cottage location compared to others that we have used in the past, is that there are no direct walking routes from the actual c...more
After many visits to Rivercatcher we decided this time to have a family break and stay in Cilan House. What a wonderful few days it was, everybody had such an enjoyable time that we have already decided to book for next year. Even the dogs thoroughly enjoyed the freedom of the secure garden . A great highlight, especially for the teenagers, was the hot tub. The games room also was a hit. The atmosphere was very festive with all the outside Christmas lights and the indoor Christmas trees and decorations.
I stayed in the Gezellig lodge at Rivercatcher for 3 nights to celebrate my husband’s 30th birthday and it was perfect! Relaxing, peaceful, cosy and clean - the lodge and the location was truly 10/10. We wanted to just switch off for a few quiet days and that is what we did. Bala is about 15 mins drive and the lovely Llangollen about 20 mins drive so not too far if you want to venture out. We are already looking at returning later this year!
We had the most relaxing stay and were able to switch off from the business of everyday life. The accommodation was cosy, comfortable and had everything you could need. Well equipped with kitchen items, big bed and the log fire is a great touch. We took our dog with us and this really is dog friendly. The garden was secure, we could relax in the hot tub knowing our dog was safe running around. There was a dog washing station on the grounds which we would use after a day out. The staff were friendly and approachable, we didn’t have any issues at all but we are confident if we had done th...more
Second time we have stayed at river catcher, we absolutely love it and we are back for a special family birthday in February
This is the second time we have visited Rivercatcher and find the location very relaxing. The Flyfishers accommodation is exactly what we require.
The property is lovely with quality furniture and furnishings, and is in a stunning location. Although near to amenities, we could hear no traffic noise from the nearest road, it was just quiet and peaceful. We loved it there! We had a couple of minor problems whilst there, but they were sorted out very promptly by Aled, (one of the maintenance team on site). He is very helpful and knowledgeable, and willing to share information about the local area. Rivercatcher is well placed for visiting a number of places of interest, for example, Lake Bala is very close, also the Aquaduct at Llan...more
We stayed at the Lagom cabin to celebrate my partner's birthday and as soon as we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the setting and views! The cabin was stunning and had everything you could wish for and was extremely comfortable with little touches of luxury including the White Company toiletries and bath robes! Bed was comfy, a great shower, kitchen was well equipped and best of all, the log fire was just the finishing touch. The views were to die for and we just didn't want to leave the cabin and spent hours just looking out to the beautiful mountains (as it was Februa...more
We stayed in between Xmas and NY and it was lovely, the hot tub was ready when we arrived which was nice that we didn’t have to heat it first. There are radiators too - I was worried that it was just the log burner and therefore a little chilly when we were out all day but the heating was great. Nothing to do with the cabin and the location was great but to mention there is not a lot around and we almost ran out of fuel once as service stations are a rare find. We took our dog and he loved it, private garden is fully enclosed - they have added additional privacy bamboo to the fenced area...more
