Our stay at Eryl Aran, Bala

A wonderful and spacious stone house with exceptional facilities especially in the kitchen. All the bedrooms has comfortable beddings and with enough room for 8 adults and 4 children. We definitely recommend this house to anyone who wants to visit Bala in North Wales for its facilities and location.

Vacation in Wales

For 5 days, my family of fourteen people aged 1 to 62 comfortably enjoyed their stay at "the castle house" as the four-year old called it. The whole place actually looked nicer in person. The little kids enjoyed the toys in the games and play-room, we played the piano and sang in the lounge area, some watched a little TV. The kitchen was wonderful! People seem to always gather in the kitchen and it held us! The house is walking distance to town where we could buy groceries, or for the older ones, go to the pubs and meet the friendly locals singing Karaoke. The consensus of all was that it was a great place.

Beautiful large house in Bala

The photographs of the property do not do this house and gardens justice. There were 14 of us staying and it’s the best house we’ve ever stayed in. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and entertain, with an Aga and separate oven. Seating in the house is plentiful and the grounds are stunning. We could easily walk for dinner into Bala as well as stroll down to the lake. The children had a swim in the leisure centre as the lake is a tad cold in May! It’s worth every penny to stay here. Thank you for making us feel so welcomed. We will most certainly be returning.
