Plas-yn-Dre

Plas-yn-Dre is a family-run inn, restaurant and guesthouse located on Bala High Street in Gwynedd, Wales. It occupies a Grade II listed building that is set back from the street behind a partly-railed forecourt, and it combines historic architecture with contemporary hospitality. The business has operated as a family-run restaurant since 1990, and in 2017 it underwent a complete revamp that added nine guest bedrooms alongside refreshed dining and bar spaces. The offer is built around three pillars: stay, eat and drink. Guests can book rooms directly for the best rates, dine on chef-prepared food in the dining room, or unwind in the snug bar or relaxed library. The building has been sympathetically restored to retain as many original features as possible while being furnished and styled in a luxurious, relaxed theme. Well-behaved dogs are welcome throughout the premises. Plas-yn-Dre positions itself as more than just an inn, mixing old with new and traditional with contemporary to create an enjoyable customer experience. Its location in Bala, on the banks of Llyn Tegid — the largest natural lake in Wales and a mecca for water sports — places it within a busy rural town rich in history and local legends. The business aims to provide comfortable rooms and serve good fresh local food and drink in a relaxed atmosphere.

Plas-yn-Dre has been a family-run restaurant since 1990, operating from a historic building on Bala High Street in Gwynedd, Wales. The building itself is Grade II listed and is set back from the street behind a partly-railed forecourt. For much of its early history as a hospitality business, it functioned primarily as a restaurant. A major transformation came in 2017, when the business underwent a complete revamp. This project added nine guest bedrooms, turning the restaurant into a full inn and guesthouse. The renovation was carried out sympathetically, retaining as many original features of the historic building as possible while furnishing and styling the interiors in a luxurious, relaxed theme. The result was described by the business as stunning. Today Plas-yn-Dre operates as a family-run luxury inn, restaurant and guesthouse. It offers accommodation, chef-prepared dining, a snug bar and a library, and welcomes well-behaved dogs throughout the premises. Its location in Bala, on the banks of Llyn Tegid — the largest natural lake in Wales and a popular destination for water sports — places it within a busy rural town rich in history and local legends.
