Top Bala Lake Hotel Reviews

Plas Yn Dre

10/10 Excellent

"Charming room, very friendly staff and excellent food."

Plas Coch Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Always enjoy staying in this friendly hotel. I use it as a base for holidays in Bala. Usually 1 or 2 nights. Had a lovely breakfast this morning. Slept well."

Vyrnwy Lakeside - Bala Lake

10/10 Excellent

"No complaints at all. The WiFi tv takes a while to understand but thanks to Beatrice we got there. The bed size is perfectly adequate and the bed comfortable but we have a very large bed at home so our ‘free’ space was a little limited. We shall certainly visit again.An idyllic place to stay."

Victorian stone mansion in extensive grounds overlooking Bala Lake

8/10 Good

"Lovely large property for a group of family and friends. Located near to Bala lake, it was perfect for exploring the local area where the scenery is truly stunning. The house is well equipped, and we had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Check in and check out process was very straightforward - we would definitely recommend and are highly likely to return!"

Arenig - Bala Lake

8/10 Good

"We had a lovely stay it was very clean and everything you needed apart from a gas cooker. Beatrice was lovely and very welcoming the only thing we was a little uncomfortable with was we felt we was living with her as she was next door and her balcony was right next to ours. It was more a guest room than an apartment with her being next to us. We couldn't relax thinking tv might be to loud, or music not that we have it on loud but we was still worried. Also could do with sweeping brush and hoover so you can keep on top of floors whilst there and we didn't want to mither as we was there for 5 days. Apart from that we loved being able to just walk down to the water with our morning coffee in our pyjamas so relaxing, just in the room could of done with abit more privacy for us anyway. I do recommend if you don't really watch TV or listen to music and maybe not a young couple."

Snowdonia Cottage with Stunning views of Bala lake and mountains

10/10 Excellent

"Very high spec and spotless. A beautiful cottage, massive fridge freezer which is always a good bonus! All mod cons with dishwasher and washing machine etc. Also a lovely outdoor area for BBQ and eating. Views to die for and other than sheep, no passing traffic."

Hen Ysgubor Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"Second time we've stayed here and won't be out last. Plenty of space with large kitchen and living area, comfy beds and lovely little touches like biscuits, milk, coffee pods for the Nespresso machine and even a bottle of wine in the fridge. Perfect spot for Bala and exploring the surrounding area. Definitely recommended"
