We booked through hotels.com, but we booked a triple room, as it was cheapest option for a couple and a 20 year old daughter. On check in, there was not a triple room, rather than cancel us, they gave us 2 twins, much to the delight of all of us. Very friendly. Thank you

Had a lovely stay, room was excellent and staff were brilliant. Had a lovely fish supper when we got there and the room was lovely and comfortable. Only negative point was we paid for breakfast and half the cooked items were unavailable, no bacon, no bkack pudfing , no mushrooms and no orange juice. This was such a shame as our stay had been lovely

This was an absolutely perfect stay! The room was adorable and so clean and warm, with lovely supplies for tea and coffee. I was upgraded to a bigger room for free and hosted for dinner at the pub. I would definitely come back to this lovely area. Thanks!

I arrived later than I had planned and was very cold as I was on my motorbike on my way to the Dragon Rally. When I arrived in my room, the heating was on and the room was lovely and warm. It really made a difference and was much appreciated. Usually when I arrive at a hotel, the heating is off. Lovely staff, great location and excellent value for money.

Convenient hotel in the centre of Bala, historic building which made it interesting. The room was clean and comfortable, rather warm but a fan was provided. Nice modern bathroom. Enjoyed a very good evening meal in the bar.
