What a difference a day makes!!! Christmas arrives in Bala - in April.

24/06/2020

Hooray, We're open again from July 13 and now taking bookings for the summer, so come and enjoy the spectacular mountains and scenery in Snowdonia, and take part in the many activities that are now also re-opening throughout the region.

Thank you everybody for heeding the lockdown message and staying out of Bala and Snowdonia. Last year at this time, the lake looked like Blackpool. This was the scene this afternoon.Hopefully, it won't be too long before before we can welcome you all again. Stay safe.

The Best B&B in Bala - probably!!!
Just got the news that Georgina and I have managed to keep our Superhost status with Airbnb for a year now with 129 all-five star customer reviews under our belts - and earned a 100-dollar bonus from Airbnb. So a big thanks to all our guests who have supported us throughout the year, and hope we can maintain our top scoring record at The Old Workhouse.

Snow and ice crunching underfoot when I ventured out this morning to take a few pics round the lake. It’s a beautiful winter wonderland day in Bala, gateway to Snowdonia, but bbbbbrisk and blooming cold – just about -10C according to my thermometer. Snow on the way again, but the weekend’s looking good.
Walking boots and a pub with a log fire in the evening could be the order of the day!!

Hubble bubble toil and trouble. What's going on at The Old Workhouse in Bala????

19/08/2018

We seem to have fast forwarded to autumn. I've just potted up the first of the seasons jam from brambles collected round the lake - probably about a month earlier than usual. I just hope that when real autumn arrives there are still enough fruits and berries for the birds and the wee scurrying beasties!

Anyone want any courgettes or cucumbers, by the way? I'm being buried under a ton of them from my bit of land - and the polytunnel looks like a (literally) blooming rain forest.

Been so busy trying to get The Old Workhouse finished and fit for guests that I’d almost forgotten why we are here in the first place. Just been checking out some walks for guests this summer at Carneddau and Glyderau (page 377 in the National Trust handbook) and realised this was why.
Nine peaks over 3000 feet, including Tryfan, where Sir Edmund Hilary trained for his ascent of Everest, wild ponies and an amazing landscape. Unlike Sir Edmund I stuck to the path, but as you can see the scenery is brilliant even on a dull day in February.

Hi all. Just heard that Georgina and I have been named Superhosts by Airbnb on the basis of our excellent 100 per cent five-star reviews so far. All we need now are a few more superguests for 2018, and are now taking bookings.

Waved goodbye to guests and off to one of my favourite places Borth y Gest for a bracing walk by the sea.
