Really enjoyed our stay, thank you so much to the staff for making us feel welcome. Only issue was the nightclub across the road being loud, but closing the window sorted that. Mot, our dog was very happy and spoilt rotten. Would love to come again. Diolch yn fawr

Busy pub with rooms in the heart of Bala, so was convenient for my needs. Room was ok, however the bed was uncomfortable, poor quality mattress, the toilet seat and bowl were dirty and hadn't been cleaned. Only 1 sachet of decaff coffee, could be more. Rest of the room did the job.

Clean single room, great for a few night's stay. Downside: widows do not open (restricted) and it was hot!!! Thank you for a fan. It would be great I the windows were not restricted and I could create a draft to air out the room. Staff were nice, it's just the wait time. Maybe it was my own fault as it was busy. Another thing - there was nowhere to put the backpack/ luggage. Could you please provide a bench or something? It would be a great addition to the room!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The building is very characterful and very nice. I only had one meal there, a cooked breakfast, that was not nice at all. Bacon like leather, fatty sausages with tough casings and bits of bone in, the black pudding & hash brown were oozing with fat as if they'd been deep fried. I didn't eat there again. When I tried to have a shower the drainage was so bad the tray overflowed with a torrent of water all over the bathroom floor. I immediately went down to reception to tell them of the problem. the managers response, "yeah it does that". Not only could he not be bothered to fix it, there was no warning when I checked in, nor in the room and no apology after it happened. It seems he's quite happy to let the problem persist, damaging the property and leaving other people to clean up instead.
