Oakeley Arms Hotel
About
The Oakeley Arms Hotel & Restaurant is a charming Grade II listed 17th‑century inn situated in the heart of North Wales, near Blaenau Ffestiniog in the Snowdonia National Park. Built on the former Tan‑y‑Bwlch estate, the building retains its original stone architecture while offering cosy rooms, a family‑run free‑house bar stocked with local real ales and Welsh spirits, and a restaurant that serves hearty, home‑made Welsh cuisine made from locally sourced produce. Its picturesque setting provides sweeping views of the surrounding hills, making it an ideal base for exploring the park’s attractions such as Snowdon, Zip World and Portmeirion. Recent renovations have updated the facilities without compromising the historic character that earned the hotel its Grade II listing.
