Whether you are a fan of Nat King Cole and roasting chestnuts or not, you'll probably still appreciate a blazing fire on a winter's evening and a glass of something warming to keep your spirits up. These Best Loved Bala Lake Hotels with Log Fires are big fans too and their version of an open fire range from a comfortable inn's hearth to the gaping maw and burning blaze of a full-blown castle's stone fireplace.
Bala Lake is the largest body of water in Wales, and Best Loved's hotels near Bala Lake (or to give it its Welsh name, Llyn Tegid) are also conveniently situated close to the town of Wrexham. Home to a number of fish species including pike and eel, there is also one fish that is unique to Bala Lake - the Gwyniad, found only in the deep, clear waters of the lake and a member of the salmon family. A haven for sailors at all skill levels, Bala Lake is four miles long and one mile wide with the River Dee running through it and where canoeists, yachtsman and windsurfers enjoy stunning woodland scenery and the mountains of Arenig Fawr, Aran Benllyn and Aran Fawddwy. An amazingly preserved narrow gauge steam railway provides a dramatic nine-mile return journey around the lake for those who prefer dry land. A perfect destination for those on a 'day out' of for those taking a longer break in one of our luxurious hotels near Bala Lake that are close by.
