Plas Yn Dre  

On Bala High Street, a luxury boutique hotel overlooking Llyn Tegid and a short walk to Eryri National Park. Steps from Maes Tegid and Bala Lake, this family-run spot puts lake views and Welsh charm front and center. Pet-friendly rooms are available for well-behaved dogs.

A sympathetic 2017 revamp turned a family restaurant into nine stylish guestrooms while keeping original historic features. Rooms are luxuriously relaxed with flat-screen TVs, private showers, safes and electric kettles. Some rooms and the terrace deliver direct lake views for a calm, scenic stay.

Enjoy a terrace with stunning lake views, a snug lounge and an on-site restaurant and bar. Other highlights include a library, free self-parking and complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout. Wake up to lake-view mornings and a complimentary full breakfast served daily (7:30–9:30 AM).

A conference hall is available for meetings, and complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected.

Family-run since 1990, the hotel serves fresh local Welsh fare in a relaxed dining room and offers drinks in a cozy bar/lounge. Start the day with a complimentary full breakfast and linger on the terrace for meals with a view.
