Rivercatcher, a collection of five 'award winning' luxury holiday cottages and 4 luxury log cabins. Set in the heart of the Welsh countryside on the banks of the River Dee. With views of the River and the Berwyn mountains and on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park.
We booked the Gamekeeper's Cottage again for a family week together.
We had previously visited seven years ago so we knew what to expect, and that is an excellent place to stay in a stunning location.
It is simply a beautiful and peaceful location.
The cottage worked for all of us and it was easy to add a third smaller bed to one room to suite our needs.
We booked the BBQ butchers delivery ahead of arriving and that worked well.
Our Tesco order was easy to arrange and arrived within a couple of hours of our arrival
The hot tub is a great addition for everyone to relax in at the end of a ...more
Our 4th Stay at Rivercatcher. Every thing as good as before, lovely quiet position, on great stretch of the River.
We bought our paddle boards, and had some nice afternoons on the river.
You have to make the effort to stay here, as 20mins from nearest shops in Bala but well worth it.
Very relaxing stay in excellent accommodation. We went with our two daughters families which included 5 grandkids there was plenty to do around the river and the games room.
We stayed for a long weekend at Rivercatcher in the Gezzelig log cabin - it was a lovely break, the lodge is really well laid out, very comfortable and cosy. We really enjoyed the hot tub, which was very clean and tidy (and was maintained every day by the staff, to make sure it stayed that way). All round a lovely stay in a beautiful spot.
This was our second visit to River Catcher and it further cemented our love for the place. Tiny details are so considered here and it offers luxury and a rustic vibe in the correct measure. We love the landscaped gardens, courtyards and riverside walk ways - it’s such a beautiful find. We first stayed in a cabin as a family of three - my husband and I celebrated our minimoon with our labradoodle Chewie in 2023. This July we returned for our ‘baby moon’ as an almost family of four and loved it just as much in Ghillie’s cottage.
It’s excellent how welcome dogs are made to feel and we didn’t ...more
Amazing relaxing family holiday, cottage was just awesome! Flyfisher cottage gave us direct access to river for paddle boarding and canoeing. Our dog loved the garden and stayed on the bank watching us for ages.
Great hosts and loads to do in the area. Bala was great for running, lake and ice creams!
We’ll be back next year
Thank you
We had a lovely week in Wales at Rivercatcher with our teenagers (aged 12 and 15). Lots to do in local area and cottage really well appointed so you could cook,BBQ and lots of recommendations for those preferring to eat out. Welcome basket was a lovely treat. Thank you!
The lodge is well appointed, clean and extremely quiet! The amenities were well thought out and in good condition. The garden was large enough to throw balls for the dogs and hot tub was a good size. The local towns had great cafes and shops also Llangollen was a great place to visit 20 mins away. A very enjoyable experience.
