We spent 2 nights here over the Easter Weekend and were met with a warm welcome, coffee and cake. The setting is beautiful, right on the lake . The breakfast was superb. We based our selves here and drove to Portmerrion and Barmouth and took a few walks near the lake. It was very tranquil, the weather wasn't great but... More

Me (22) & my Girlfriend (23), stayed here at the beginning of April, just for a short one night stay on our days off work. We picked it as it was the cheapest hotel on offer that was in the vicinity of Lake Vyrnwy which I used to go to as a kid every year. We arrived an hour earlier... More

We stayed for 2 nights, having travelled to North Wales to walk up Snowdon (approx 45 mins drive away) - we thought we'd arrived at a luxury hotel, not a B&B! A lovely welcome on arrival from Rosie, who made us tea and coffee after our long drive, giving us time to unwind and take in the spectacular views over... More

Stayed here for the second time while spying out Bala for a visit later in the year. It's the most relaxing of locations with a great quality of accommodation. It will be even better when the landscaping is completed. Breakfast is brilliant and the hosts friendly. Location is easily accessible and peace is guaranteed. Awesome views of lake... so close...

Booked 2 nights via Laterooms.com which was guaranteed with my debit card. Approx 10 days before my stay I received an email from Robert (one of the people who owns/runs this b&b) asking me to provide the 3 digit security code from my debit card. As I had already provided this code to Laterooms I queried this and was told... More

Just came back from a wonderful trip to Snowdonia and thanks to this lovely place of accommodation. We were initially overbooked and the owner offered us an offer which we just can't resist. And we were glad that we made it to the B&B and what a wonderful place. Our room is literally next to the biggest natural lake in... More

Booked through Laterooms for a last minute trip to Snowdonia with my son and bagged an absolute bargain for the money. This upmarket B&B sits on Lake Bala and each room has fantastic views over the lake. My room even had a balcony to enjoy the view from. People running it were very friendly and helpful. The place has recently... More

Wifi should be availbale in all bedrooms and in the breakfast room. CD players are provided but we have no radio or TV signal here. There is a selection of DVDs available to watch on the 50" plasma screen. Vodaphone, Orange and Virgin mobiles work here but O2 in particular has very poor coverage. More

Glan Y Gro is lovely B&B in a quiet location along side Bala Lake. It's a 5 min drive from Bala town. We only stayed for the one night as we were on our way to visit Lake Vyrnyw, we choose Bala as our overnight stay, and thought we'd take advantage of visiting Lake Bala too. We had a Lovely... More
