Old established Welsh Hotel.

4 out of 5

Perhaps a little careworn and unfortunately no lift and too many steps / stairs for 'oldies'!

Pocket Guide: Bala

Bala is a tiny market town in Gwynedd, Wales. The town lies at the northern end of the famous Bala Lake, the largest lake in Wales, and is part of the Welsh Lake District in Snowdonia.

Sport in Bala

No self-respecting Welsh town would be without a rugby team, and Bala’s is Bala RFC, a member of the Welsh Rugby Union and a feeder club for the Llanelli Scarlets, who play at the Maes Gwyniad ground. The town also has a football team, Bala Town FC, who play in the Welsh Premier League at the Maes Tegid Stadium.

Shopping in Bala

The main street in Bala is Y Stryd Fawr, or the High Street, which is where most of the shops are, and where the markets were originally held. Almost all of the shops in the town are independent traders, selling everything from fresh meat and local produce to clothes, hardware, electrical goods, fishing supplies, cards and gifts, confectionery, arts and crafts, and more.

For such a small town, Bala offers plenty of choice when it comes to places to eat and drink. From upmarket restaurants to traditional inns and lakeside cafes, you are sure to find something to excite your taste buds, whether you want to try traditional Welsh dishes, fish and chips, or contemporary cuisine made from fresh local produce.
