This was our third family visit to the Plas yn Dre. The B&B is central to Bala and well situated for visiting the Bala Lake Railway. This visit was to its usual high standards - from easy parking to a comfortable and spacious family room. The facilities are clean and well maintained. We enjoyed a lovely evening meal at the pub and a welcome good night’s sleep. Breakfast was delicious and filling, with a good choice available of the menu. The friendly staff were the standout feature of the visit. Would highly recommend and look forward to our next visit.

I have a new favourite hotel! Given the number of hotel-nights my son and I spend away every year that's not something I've written before. The people make Plas yn Dre; everyone was so warm, friendly, and helpful. From the lady we checked in with to the chap who saw us leave, everyone was amazing. Add to that the fact that the food here is excellent, the breakfasts are the best I've eaten in ages, the room was spotless and that shower brilliant, I could not have wished for a better place to stay. We were travelling with two small dogs too - this hotel is 100% dog friendly; my dogs were fussed to pieces by the Plas yn Dre team; I really appreciate that. Thank you / diolch to everyone at Plas yn Dre; we'll be back!
