Abercelyn Country House is a Grade II-listed 18th century, former rectory, which has been sympathetically renovated to provide modern comforts, including central-heating and luxury en-suite bathrooms, while retaining original features such as the Georgian staircase, marble fireplaces and window seats.

The house is set in intriguing gardens overlooking Bala Lake. All the bright, spacious bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, a colour TV with teletext, VCR and remote control, a clock-radio, and beverage facilities. The bedrooms are named after local mountain ranges and have lake views. Home-made quilts are provided in some bedrooms. Guests can relax in front of a log fire in the drawing room, browse the library or write letters. Guided-walking and winter-breaks are also available.

A leisurely breakfast taken in the dining room, with views of the mountain-stream flowing through the garden, will make a fine start to the day. Meals are opportunities to discuss plans for the next day and share today's experiences with other guests. Our speciality is home cooking with the best, fresh, local products, including freshly baked bread and home-made preserves. Special diets can be catered for, including sport competitors.
