About The Oakeley Arms Hotel
Tucked into the wooded hills around Tan-y-bwlch, with mountain views rising in every direction, The Oakeley Arms Hotel makes a solid base for exploring this corner of Snowdonia. The surrounding countryside is built for walking, and the Ffestiniog Railway passes close by, making it easy to combine a day on the rails with an afternoon on the hills. Portmeirion is also within reach for those wanting a change of pace from the mountains.
The hotel has 14 rooms spread across two floors, each with an en-suite bathroom and the option of family rooms for those travelling with children. Rooms come with drinks available on request, and there's free WiFi throughout. Guests can eat in the on-site restaurant or relax in the bar, with a garden and outdoor seating for warmer days, and breakfast is included to set up a day of walking or sightseeing.
There's free on-site parking, useful given the hotel's rural setting, and 24 hour reception for flexible arrivals. Meeting rooms are available for those combining business with the scenery, while nearby pubs, restaurants and a golf course add a few more options beyond the hotel itself. It's a straightforward, traditional stay best suited to those who want the mountains and the railway on their doorstep rather than a polished city hotel experience.
Diners like this hotel's delicious and well-seasoned carvery, steak and ale pie, and other pub-style meals, with generous portions. They also highlight the friendly and efficient staff, the cozy atmosphere with real fires, and the reasonable prices.
Some reviews mention the food can be of poor quality.
