    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.

    We loved the location and the cottage. It is situated in a quiet area not to far from Bala and the lake, about an hours drive from Snowdon. The cottage was roomy and well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We loved the build BBQ, the deck wooden deck and the enclosed private backyard where our border collie could have some fun. .

    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.
