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.

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.

Fabulous home in an excellent location

This is our second stay at this property and it was once again, everything we wanted. The weather wasn’t great and with children to entertain, a walk across the road and we were in the leisure centre where there’s a great swimming pool plus slide. The house was great for relaxing, the kitchen enormous so all the chefs in the family could work alongside each other as one was outside bbqing. We will be returning again next year, we absolutely love coming to stay. Thank you

Stunning house in a great location!

The photos really don’t do this house justice, it’s stunning and in a beautiful location - across the road from the Lake Bala watersports centre and less than 10min walk into the village high street with shops, pubs and restaurants. We loved every second here, very magical place.

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.
