Worth the 5-stars
We loved our one-night stay in Bala. The family room we stayed in was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Despite being on the main road, it was surprisingly quiet from around 10pm. Good night’s sleep, delicious breakfast and welcoming staff. We would definitely stay again.

Single traveller very impressed
Room was very well maintained to a high standerd. room was small but this was ok as only ever used for a single guest. Breakfast cooked to order and was a generous portion. A good selection of evening meals cooked well and a reasonable price. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Overall would recommend and will hopefully stay again at some time.

3.5 stars at best. Comfortable, but housekeeping did a terrible job. Only one room key. Staff never apologized for any issues (not guest focused). Food extremely average. Had to beg for boiling water from the bar for tea as their hot water machine was luke warm. Harassed by housekeeping to leave my room 30 minutes before our agreed upon late checkout time with the manager. We were told to “get on our way.” Osian was the best of the bunch with a smile and greetings all weekend.

Fabulous stay
We really enjoyed the weekend at the hotel. We were met by a very friendly receptionist who was able to offer us advice of where to go and visit. The rooms were comfortable and had a selection of toiletries. Would highly recommend eating supper there as the food is amazing and caters for all tastes . We would definitely stay here again. If you plan to eat your evening meal you need to book.
The tasty cherry almond dessert .
