We had a great stay at Emily’s cottage. It’s perfect for our family with three young kids. A nice shallow entry where the kids could swim and we could relax. Was just what we were looking for. A great little lake for paddle boarding too.

A great spot for young children, with local amenities nearby in Torrance and Bala.

We had a fantastic time at this cottage. Everything was neat, clean, tidy and easy to access. The cottage is the perfect size for our family of four. The beach was great for our two small children and the surrounding grass and woods were perfect for the dog too! We would recommend this cottage to anyone and would definitely rent it again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this cottage. Black Lake is warm, and not too weedy, so it was great for swimming. The small beach area provided sandy entertainment for our 4 year old, and the gradual, shallow entry to the lake really helped build her swimming confidence.We had great weather during our stay, which meant the cottage was hot for sleeping, but fans were provided. We found everything we needed (except a kettle), and it was a nice change from other cottage rentals to have sheets and towels provided.The cottage was tidy and clean when we arrived. The bedrooms are small, but the main living area is open and comfortable. The bunkie provided extra sleeping space when needed too.There's a small General Store right at the end of the road, but Bala is just 7 minutes away when you need a bigger store.The only thing that could've been improved was the email correspondence with the owner prior to our stay. Not every email was replied to, and we would've liked a bit more information offered about what was available at the cottage and what we needed to bring. Once we arrived at the cottage and had the owner's cell number, we were able to text her, and that worked out better.Overall, we had a great vacation here, and we've finally found a cottage we'd like to return to again next year!

My family and I spent a week at this cottage and have nothing but great things to say. The small but cozy lake it sits on is perfect for swimming and cruising around on in our fishing boat . Loved the sandy bottom it was great for entering the water and was shallow enough for just waiting around in. Very clean and cozy cottage and enough room for my 4 kids, dogs and my wife and I. Would go back again for sure !!!Thanks !!
