I stayed at the White Lion on my way down from Scotland. Turned out to be brilliant choice. The hotel has fantastic pub and atmosphere. I really liked the staff, very friendly lot. My room was on the top floor, it was spacious, had a great bed, good bathroom and housecleaning. 👍 It’s central to Bala and Bala is a great village.

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

We were genuine surprised at this hotel. We’d been to one the night better that was awful so went expecting much. We loved it. Rooms spotless, spacious, bathroom lovey… nice and quiet!
