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.

Centrally located hotel. We had an in room issue upon checking in, this was swiftly addressed to our satisfaction. Nice room, a little hot due to extreme weather, there was a fan in the room which helped somewhat. Staff were great, really friendly. Breakfast was really good (didn't have an evening meal but others eating seemed happy with what they had. Would I stay again- yes.
