We want to share the update with our Facebook community that we’ve made the really tough decision to put Bala Lake Hotel up for sale.

Our Partners and suppliers have worked incredibly hard to make this such a special place over the last 18 years, where we know many guests have made lifelong memories.

We are working closely with property agent Savills to secure a new owner who will maintain the hotel’s legacy and continue attracting visitors to this spectacular area.

We want to reassure you that for now, it is very much business as usual - we’re continuing to fulfill all existing bookings and accept future reservations.

Bala Lake Hotel is one of five hotels owned by the John Lewis Partnership, which are used primarily by our Partners as a benefit of working at the Partnership. Higher Partner usage of our other hotels, as well as higher running costs at Bala Lake relative to its current usage are the key drivers behind our decision to sell.
