Facilities and on-site activities

The main building houses the restaurant, conservatory, lounge and bar. Wifi access is available throughout the hotel and there is a computer available for guest use.

Outdoor facilities include a small golf course, a woodland orienteering challenge, woodland trail and children's adventure play area.  Bala has a range of special activities on offer.  Guest can enjoy a range of fun and challenging activities led by friendly, fully qualified instructors. Test your skills at archery, cyber tag or laser clay-pigeon shooting. Try kayaking, sailing, climbing, gorge walking or use one of our  mountain bikes. All activities are charged as taken, with the exception of bike hire and golf, which are free of charge.  For the less energetic maybe a game of croquet or disc golf.

Our purpose built Serenity complex enjoys panoramic views across Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) towards the Arenig mountain. The facility boasts a Therapy Suite consisting of two luxury therapy rooms and a relaxation room. The Spa provides a beautiful indoor swimming pool, sauna and outdoor hot tub.

Our wide range of indulgent treatments includes massages and facials using the high performance ESPA product range, Jessica manicures and pedicures as well as holistic therapies. Treatments, delivered by our trained therapists, are tailored to your individual needs, whether you wish to relax and indulge or refresh and re-energise. We do advise booking in advance of your stay.

On site Activities

Bala Lake Hotel offers a fantastic range of instructor-led activities from Segway riding to shooting sports, ropes courses, racing remote controlled vehicles and breakout rooms. You will be spoilt for choice!  Will you challenge yourself to a new activity? Perhaps you will reach outside your comfort zone? Are you keen to compete with your friends and family? Do you love a team challenge?

You can be sure of finding just the thing - there is something for everyone here and our team of expert instructors will support you every step of the way whether you are a complete beginner or someone looking to improve their skills.

New for 2017 is ‘I’m A Partner, Get Me Out Of Here’ - our take on the popular ‘Breakout’ game. Great fun for all with puzzles and riddles to solve, codes to crack, items to locate - and all against the clock as you try to escape within an hour!

Will your team make it onto our leaderboard?

All the activities offered by our instructors are on site. Booking’s are made on arrival. While we are happy to take enquiries, our schedules are finalised according to weather and ground conditions and are therefore not available in advance.

During school holidays we often have off site activities available with an external provider. These include kayaking/canoeing on Bala Lake, gorge-scrambling and an underground mine adventure.

All activities are subject to availability and therefore may not all be offered at any one time. Age and weight restrictions apply.

If you have time and energy left over we also have some facilities that are included in your tariff - use of our bikes (mid teens and upwards), use of the multi-purpose course (pitch and putt, foot golf and disk golf), children’s adventure playground, woodland walk with a bird spotting hide and orienteering routes

At Bala Lake Hotel, we plan our activities during school holidays according to the age range of our visiting guests. To help us provide the best activity experience, we would be grateful if you could provide children's names and ages under the special request section, as you make your booking.
