The White Lion Royal Hotel, located on High Street in Bala, is a historic establishment that combines traditional charm with modern comforts. This Grade II listed building dates back to the 16th century and has served as a coaching inn since 1752. It is an integral part of the local community, offering comfortable rooms, a well-stocked bar, and a restaurant serving a variety of local Welsh dishes. The hotel's welcoming atmosphere, coupled with its historic appeal, makes it a favourite among locals and visitors alike.

Situated in the heart of Bala, the hotel enjoys a prime location, giving guests the opportunity to explore this charming market town. Bala's main attraction is undoubtedly the stunning Bala Lake, or Llyn Tegid, the largest natural lake in Wales. It's a hub for water sports, from sailing to windsurfing, and the surrounding area is perfect for walks, picnics, or simply enjoying the views. The town itself offers a mix of independent shops, traditional pubs, and local eateries. Not to be missed is the Bala Lake Railway, a narrow-gauge steam train offering a scenic journey along the lake's southern shores.

Just a stone's throw away lies the magnificent Snowdonia National Park. The park's diverse landscape includes towering mountains, expansive forests, and serene valleys, offering a wealth of outdoor activities. Hiking trails of varying difficulty crisscross the park, with many leading to Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales. Other attractions include the National White Water Centre for thrilling rafting experiences, and for the more culturally inclined, the Harlech Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is within easy reach. The White Lion Royal Hotel's location offers a perfect balance, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the tranquil Welsh countryside and engage in adventurous pursuits in Snowdonia.
