Brilliant break !

It's a cute little Hotel very nice with all the decorations up and perfect for a Xmas ,New Year break. The breakfast was outstanding and the staff fabulous

Ahhh it's not the hotels fault but if you are not on top floor there are alot of noises from squeaky old floor boards with people walking. But it's a minor thing.

Lovely hotel, fab decor, nice staff

The organisation needs serious work. Told food was served 5pm to 8pm. At 6.25pm the menus were removed and we happened to ask why. Told kitchen was now closing at 6.30pm. If we hadn't asked we wouldn't have been told so we decided to order and eat a good hour before we planned to. Went up to order drinks at 7.20pm and saw other guests ordering food as the kitchen had been reopened. Not a big deal but annoying all the same.

Lovely period property with bar.

No cooked breakfast for 2days out of 3. The restaurant wasnt open in the evening. We had to go elsewhere for food. Due to staffing issues.

Beautiful hotel in a great location that would be even better with a couple of small changes.

The food was very good . The room was big and the bathroom was modern. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The chef Jordan and the lady serving, Lenkia, produced excellent breakfasts and service. The hotel was decorated beautifully for Christmas. The hotel has several public rooms for use such as the bar, lounge and dining rooms. the situation of the hotel was perfect, right in the centre of Bala High Street with pubs, restaurants and shops all within easy reach. The Lake was a short walk away.

The room lacked a bedside table for one side of the double bed and it would have also been better to have a couple of chairs in the room. There is adequate space to accommodate the extra furniture that would have made it more comfortable. There was a window seat but chairs would have been more comfortable to use. On our second night of staying at the hotel we had planned to eat our evening meal there to be told that they had a booking for a party of 12 and could not therefore accommodate us. We had to go out in heavy rain to find somewhere to eat
