White Lion Royal Hotel, hotel in Bala

Located in Bala and surrounded by greenery, White Lion Royal Hotel dates back to the 16th century and offers accommodation with on-site parking free of charge 15 km from the heart of the Gwydyr Forest...

We used the White Lion as a base for exploring local walks. Really friendly welcome at reception. Rooms were very clean and actually really good size for a single. Bathroom was lovely too. We didn't eat in the evening but did use the bar, very friendly staff and reasonable prices. Breakfast was lovely and had a great selection on offer and served super fast. Would absolutely use this place again for exploring local area. Parking on site and generally just ticked every box for us.

    Bala is a very lively town at the weekend with lots of pubs on the high street. The locals are friendly. There are some small local businesses on the high street. The lake is beautiful and has lots of water sports.

    Bala is incredibly beautiful, as you would expect in the heart of North Wales. There is a spectacular Lake with a delightful steam railway running alongside. Bala centre has lovely pubs and antique shops, as well as plenty of space to roam around.

    Bala lake itself is obviously the main attraction and that was well visited when we were there but there was plenty of car parking to access along with excellent options for access to the lake from various car parks on both sides of the lake. You could even take a ride on the steam train and get off at an excellent bay in which to canoe, swim, paddle and enjoy a full family day at leisure.

    The town has everything that you'd need & the surrounding countryside is beautiful with some easy walks & some for the more adventurous. Water sports, walking & cycling are the main activities on offer & if you're happy with those combined with easy-going restful evenings then you'll love Bala.

    I stayed for one night during a three-day cycling tour. Beautiful country around. White Lion Royal Hotel is a good place to stay, especially if you need an early start, as it serves breakfast early. It also serves excellent pub food - though the kitchen closed early this day, so I missed out. There are several other places to eat along the High Street, including pizza places and an Indian restaurant.

    Bala is a very quiet town, in the middle of a beautiful area and sitting right next to a lake. There were plenty of wonderful local places to eat, and the pastry shop right around the corner was exceptional. The manager provided very easy and clear directions on where to park, and the house had everything that we needed. The beds were comfortable.

    The house was a rustic, traditional, North-Walian farmhouse in a superb location. It felt rural and peaceful yet it was only a 5 minute drive from facilities in Bala. A great base for sight-seeing in Gwynedd. We would definitely return.
