Such a beautiful hotel. This is something special. We stayed in the Queen Victoria Room which was simply as wonderful as it is historic. The grounds are perfectly manicured and we loved watching the rabbits on the lawn. The food was very good and the staff was just incredible.

    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.

    Bala is incredibly beautiful, as you would expect in the heart of North Wales. There is a spectacular Lake with a delightful steam railway running alongside. Bala centre has lovely pubs and antique shops, as well as plenty of space to roam around.

    Bala lake itself is obviously the main attraction and that was well visited when we were there but there was plenty of car parking to access along with excellent options for access to the lake from various car parks on both sides of the lake. You could even take a ride on the steam train and get off at an excellent bay in which to canoe, swim, paddle and enjoy a full family day at leisure.

    The town has everything that you'd need & the surrounding countryside is beautiful with some easy walks & some for the more adventurous. Water sports, walking & cycling are the main activities on offer & if you're happy with those combined with easy-going restful evenings then you'll love Bala.

    I stayed for one night during a three-day cycling tour.

    I stayed for one night during a three-day cycling tour. Beautiful country around. White Lion Royal Hotel is a good place to stay, especially if you need an early start, as it serves breakfast early. It also serves excellent pub food - though the kitchen closed early this day, so I missed out. There are several other places to eat along the High Street, including pizza places and an Indian restaurant.

    Excellent location in the high street. We were lucky to get a parking space at the back of the hotel as there weren't many spaces. Advantage of arriving earlier I guess Nice staff. Lovely size room and even larger bathroom. All very clean and cosy. Tea/coffee facilities very generous. TV with Amazon/netflix/... Great breakfast, with "main" served, rest self-service in a nice part of the hotel

    Location was perfect to travel to snowdon for a day of adventuring , the cabin was well equipped and so cosy for 2 people. The river right outside the cabin sounded lovely & the view was beautiful ..The Stars we’re amazing in the night sky. Bala town is a 5min drive away if you need extra supplies I will definitely be booking this place again on my next visit to wales.

    Bala is a very quiet town, in the middle of a beautiful area and sitting right next to a lake. There were plenty of wonderful local places to eat, and the pastry shop right around the corner was exceptional. The manager provided very easy and clear directions on where to park, and the house had everything that we needed. The beds were comfortable.

    The house was a rustic, traditional, North-Walian farmhouse in a superb location. It felt rural and peaceful yet it was only a 5 minute drive from facilities in Bala. A great base for sight-seeing in Gwynedd. We would definitely return.
