Plas Yn Dre offers pet-friendly accommodation in Bala, on the edge of Snowdonia National Park. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar. Free WiFi is provided throughout the property and free private parking is available on site.

From the moment we arrived and found our names on a dedicated parking space, we were impressed and felt welcome. The receptionist was equally welcoming and helped us with luggage to our room as well as organizing a table for dinner and accommodating our dog. The location of the hotel is excellent on the main street of the delightful city. Access to parkland is easy for walking the dog as well as the Bala Lake and narrow gauge railway. We will be back!

Situated in Bala and only 42 km from Lake Vyrnwy, Snowdonia Holiday Cottage features accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. With lake views, this accommodation provides a patio. The property is non-smoking and is located 43 km from Horseshoe Pass.

This is the second time we've stayed at Snowdonia Cottage (Glyn Mawr).. It is a beautiful cottage in an absolutely stunning and quiet location. If you want total seclusion and tranquillity, this is it. Simon is a great host/owner who is very quick to respond to any requests via the app. Donna, the housekeeper, is lovely, and she works very hard to ensure the property is immaculately kept. The cottage is minimally furnished, but to a very high standard of quality, comfort, and finish... To be honest there isn't anything that could top it; it's near on perfect in our opinion, and we'd return in a heartbeat.

    Every single staff member were so lovely, they couldn't do enough for us. It was a real family atmosphere. We do not have kids but we have dogs, our furry kids, and there were no restrictions the staff will made a fuss of them and they had sausages in the morning, they were really spoilt, this in turn helped the dogs feel at home and relaxed therefore really well behaved. Making our stay really relaxed. Everything was absolutly bang on here. The room we had was amazing! Well defo be back xx

    It was all enclosed and safe for the children. We had 2 cottages and the children could safely get between them without worries. The facilities were fantastic. Unfortunately due to the weather we didn’t get chance to experience the hot tub. The games room was excellent for teenagers.

    Lovely quiet & picturesque location. We walked to the village pub for a meal which was approx one mile away on a stoney footpath. The cottage is perfect t for our family of 4 (2 adults & 2 children 13/9yrs) It was fully furnished so all we needed to do was take food & not worry about anything else. It is a remote location but this is exactly what we wanted for some chill out time. Fantastic location as a base point to discover other towns nearby plus a day out at Barmouth beach.
