We had a combination of rooms and camping, but we could all socialise and eat together in the main pub. Good selection of food for all dietary requirements and a good selection of beers. Staff very flexible and friendly as always, will definitely be booking again fir next year!

Potentially, there's a lot of history in the property. We were met with a cooked breakfast as opposed to a continental breakfast, which was a bonus.

    Lovely little place.

    Lovely little place. The lake is the perfect place for water activities and the hills around provide some amazing views for walkers. The small railway is a great little trip at the side of the lake. Food places are great aswell, so if you like old school welsh towns then Bala is the place.

    We had a great time in Bala and enjoyed some time at the lake. We recommend the garlic bread from the Pizza restaurant, the meat from the Jones Butcher, The Tapas Ice cream at Aran Hufen la Ice cream is a MUST - they also make the most delicious coffee! Also, not too far away in Tywyn, is a delicious Honey Ice cream shop called Holgates that is well worth a trip. Stop on the way to Tywyn to enjoy the Dolgoch Falls for an invigorating walk along the beautiful river enjoying the many water falls along the way and soaking up the beauty of the forests around the river.

    A small and quiet town with a lot to see in the area.

    A small and quiet town with a lot to see in the area. Cearnau Gardens is well worth a visit and the train alongside the lake is pleasant. A trip out to Portmeirion is highly recommended. It would be worth noting that the visit Bala site is not longer being updated and so is rather out of date - there are no tourist information facilities in the town at all so it is best to do research before you go. We did limited walking but the available information on local walks was very poor - you can pick up one leaflet from the main rail station of a walk around the lake - but note that it isn't actually possible to access the lakeside or walk close to it off road in most places. Best restaurant is The Old Wives Tales but there is also an excellent Bakery for snacks, a wonderful ice cream shop and Plas Yn Dre is also a great restaurant.

    Bala and North Wales are beautiful places and visiting any part of Wales is a pure joy. The people are really friendly and the scenery incredible and perfect for motorcyclists! The roads are excellent and well maintained with very good surfaces. Rain or shine Wales is a fabulous destination for all.

    Bala is a very lively town at the weekend with lots of pubs on the high street. The locals are friendly. There are some small local businesses on the high street. The lake is beautiful and has lots of water sports.

    Fabulous and peaceful location right on the lake shoreline, on the opposite side of the lake to the town of Bala. Each room has its own balcony and there is also a communal garden with lots of wildlife. Our apartment was the smallest but still had a good kitchenette with fridge and combi oven.

    This is an inexpensive hotel in a great location, the staff are friendly and the food is good and also inexpensive. The rooms are clean but very tired and dated but you need to be realistic in your expectations when visiting. Fine for a one night stay. Bala is a great town.
