Palé Hall, a dog friendly country house hotel in Bala1 / 8

Palé Hall

Bala, Gwynedd

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.

A five star country house hotel set in the Dee Valley, with dogs welcome in seven main house rooms, the Garden Suites and the lounges.

Seven rooms in the main house and all of the Garden Suites take dogs at Palé Hall, an elegant country house hotel in the Dee Valley with magnificent views of Snowdonia. Its 22 rooms and suites pair Victorian grandeur with contemporary luxury, from historic castle-named rooms to the private Garden Suites, which makes this five star house a dog friendly hotel with real choice in where you sleep.

Pets are permitted in the lounges, so your dog can keep you company there in the evening. Among the main house rooms, several Grand Rooms are marked dog friendly, with generous proportions, seating areas and sweeping views across the estate or Dee Valley. The Garden Suites come with a private garden terrace. Palé Hall doesn't mention a room limit for dogs, or any size limit, so check both when you reserve.

Before booking a table, ask the team about dining with your dog, whether over the tasting menu or at the Bryntirion Inn. The kitchen serves refined multi-course tasting menus built on Welsh ingredients, and The Hearth is where the kitchen comes closest to the guest. The Huntsman Bar & Whisky Lounge has a fire worth sitting beside.

The spa moves between the Tulipwood Sauna, the Brass Monkey Ice Bath and the Himalayan Salt Relaxation Room, and the estate offers fly fishing on the River Dee and clay pigeon shooting. Guided walks and self-led routes explore the grounds. Further afield, Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) Shoreline Walk, the nearest Wildpack walk to the hall, is 3.4 miles away for you and your dog.
