About Bodiwan
Bodiwan occupies a Grade II listed house on Ffrydan Road, built by the Bala philanthropist Michael D. Jones and now run as a five-star bed and breakfast within easy walking distance of Llyn Tegid and the town centre. Its four rooms, a mix of double and double/twin configurations, all overlook the garden and are finished with internet access, hairdryers and a proper hospitality tray.
A private hot tub set in its own courtyard is one of the property's distinctive touches, alongside free parking and drying facilities for wet outdoor gear, both useful after a day on the water or the hills. Breakfast draws heavily on local produce and is served with genuine Welsh hospitality.
It suits couples and older guests after a quiet, comfortable stay within walking distance of the town's pubs and restaurants, rather than a room above one.
