About Bala Lake Hotel, Activity Base and Spa: it’s our Place in the Mountains. Situated in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park looking out across spectacular mountains and just a short stroll from Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake), it's a magical place to work.

If you are looking for a hotel with a difference, this could be it. You’ll be surrounded by a team of passionate and dedicated hospitality Partners to give our guests the best experience possible. What is different about our guests though, is that they are Partners, their friends, and family. As co-owners in the business, you’ll see this difference in the way your teammates and you approach your job and carry out your responsibilities.

The hotel offers both activity and relaxation in beautiful surroundings; guests can spend their stay taking part in one of the many activities such as Segways, Crossbows, Archery, Field Archery, High Ropes Aerial Challenge, Gladiator Challenge, Leap of Faith, Low Ropes Course with Zip Wire, Laser Clay, Monster Trucks, Bala's own Escape rooms and Cyber Tag or relaxing and pampering themselves in our luxurious Spa overlooking Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) towards the Arenig mountain.
