What guests think
Across many reviews of Plas Yn Dre, guests praise friendly staff, comfortable and often spacious rooms, and tasty breakfasts and dinners, while on-site parking with reserved spaces and a central Bala location are frequent highlights.
Cleanliness is widely praised, though a few guests reported issues such as stained bedding, uncleared cups, or stray hairs that were usually resolved quickly. Service is largely welcoming and professional, but breakfast can be understaffed with slow responses, and some arrivals lacked clear information about parking, Wi-Fi, or after-hours access. Rooms are well equipped with modern showers, yet some note noise from equipment or music, low door frames upstairs, and the lack of air conditioning on warm days. A solid, well-run small hotel suited to relaxed short breaks.

They upgraded me to their superior room which was nice of them. Lee and the staff were helpful and very friendly. The menu was good and my evening meal was really good, I didn’t have breakfast. Nicely touch with the name sign for parking. 10 minute walk to the lake up the road was good at the end of the day!

I stayed for one nite in room 3 top floor. It’s situated at rear so away from Main Street at front , therefore so quiet . Lovely room , my gut feeling is the breakfast would be great , but I had to leave early so unfortunately can’t comment . Parking for my motorbike was easy and also at rear. Would definitely stay here again .

The staff are so helpful, nothing was any bother which isn't always the case when you have dogs with you. The whole place is dog friendly with open access (except the kitchen of course) so really welcoming. Food is brilliant too, cooked freshly to order and a nice cosy bar to relax in. We will definitely go back again.

Hotel was lovely, parking space on arrival reserved for us which was a nice touch, bar staff, Lee, exceptional, warm and friendly, room was lovely, very large and clean. The highlight of this hotel is the restaurant, the food is the best we have had. If i had one criticism, it would be that they need more staff at breakfast, felt like the young lady that served us couldnt cope, we had to keep asking for things, ie butter for toast, its a pretty standard thing but it took 20 minutes, so everything was cold by the time we got it. Overall though, fantastic place and would definatley return.

Nice and friendly welcome and on arrival impressed with the bedroom however on checking bedding a dried blood stain on the fitted sheet which was clear to see and in clear view (must have been seen when making the bed up) and also a dirty stained pillowcase was evident. Reception informed and immediately resolved the issue. They also offered a free drink as an apology. Tv remote required new batteries but was advised the sensor was hid behind the dressing table mirror and although we moved it, it still did not work. We were in room 6 and the noise from the large industrial fans were running up to 10:30 at night and we were awoken by them restarting at 6am. Avoid this room if you want a peaceful night sleep. The food was amazing at breakfast and evening meal and therefore this influenced the better star rating given. Such a shame as if there had been no issues it would have deserved a higher score.

Nice clean place. The room and bathroom doors on the upper floor are meant for hobbits. Therefore, if a normal person is not careful, it leaves a bump on their head. On a warm day, those rooms are not very comfortable to sleep as there is no air conditioning.

3.5 stars at best. Comfortable, but housekeeping did a terrible job. Only one room key. Staff never apologized for any issues (not guest focused). Food extremely average. Had to beg for boiling water from the bar for tea as their hot water machine was luke warm. Harassed by housekeeping to leave my room 30 minutes before our agreed upon late checkout time with the manager. We were told to “get on our way.” Osian was the best of the bunch with a smile and greetings all weekend.

I booked a Superior room for a one night stay to attend parkrun on a Saturday morning. I received a very warm welcome on checking and was informed that I had a reserved parking space allocated to me at the rear of the property which was a really nice touch. I had Room 4 which had a large double comfy bed - dressing table wardrobe and a sofa and chair. Nice hospitality tray provided The room had an ensuite with a large walk in shower nice quality towels and toiletries Breakfast was included in the price and you'd be hard pressed not to find something to suit. Check out is 10am but I was able to leave my car in the parking spot till about 12. I didn't eat in the evening as I had arrangements already made. I found the Hotel and area around very quiet overnight too.

Great hospitality. Room clean and comfortable with tea & coffee making facilities, water and a tiny bottle of wine! Spacious bathroom with generous sizes of pump dispensed shampoo, shower gel and moisturiser. Room was a great temperature and quiet. Ate dinner in the dining room and service was warm and friendly with generous portions. Ditto Breakfast. A great space to stay in Bala.

Fantastic pub! Room and bathroom clean with all facilities needed. Had a fantastic roast on the Sunday with a choice of 3 meats. Evening meals good too with a varied menu. Breakfast also great with an extensive selection. Staff made it memorable with their friendly, helpful approach. Look forward to retuning.

This is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in, the room was expansive and beautiful, the shower was like being under a warm waterfall, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The breakfast was divine even if my eyes were bigger than my belly. I would highly recommend staying here and I might do so again in future.

The rooms are very spacious, especially for a twin share. There did appear to be (what looked like) black dog hair in the bathroom. Complimentary wine was appreciated and whilst the Sunday roast was great, dinner on a week night was very ordinary

I have a new favourite hotel! Given the number of hotel-nights my son and I spend away every year that's not something I've written before. The people make Plas yn Dre; everyone was so warm, friendly, and helpful. From the lady we checked in with to the chap who saw us leave, everyone was amazing. Add to that the fact that the food here is excellent, the breakfasts are the best I've eaten in ages, the room was spotless and that shower brilliant, I could not have wished for a better place to stay. We were travelling with two small dogs too - this hotel is 100% dog friendly; my dogs were fussed to pieces by the Plas yn Dre team; I really appreciate that. Thank you / diolch to everyone at Plas yn Dre; we'll be back!
