Set in a lovely location, great access for Bala lake. It does appear to get busy at the adjacent caravan and camping site but it didn't bother us. Good for visiting local attractions as you are straight onto the A494. A decent sized cottage, outdoor seating and parking.

My wife, two sons and I had a lovely 4 nights at the Lodge. It was in excellent condition and is very spacious and comfortable. It's somewhere we would definitely like to stay in again. During our stay we visited the Bala Lake Railway, Mary Jones World, the local leisure centre for some swimming, Caeray Gardens and Capel Clay for some pottery painting. We'd recommend all of these as things to do. We enjoyed relaxing and playing games/watching movies in the Lodge too. We made use of Badell Aur restaurant for delicious takeaway chips, the lovely Manna Christian bookshop as well as local coffee shops and the Co-op.
