Yr Hen Fanc

Yr Hen Fanc began life as a Midland Bank branch in 1960 and retains the character of that past—oak panelling, original fixtures—while functioning as a family home. It sleeps six across three bedrooms: a double and an ensuite, two singles with ensuite, and a bunk room served by a separate shower room. The ground floor holds the living spaces, with a woodburner in the lounge, dining room opening to a courtyard, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking. Essentials like heating, linen, towels and wifi are covered.

The property suits families and larger groups wanting a full house to themselves, with onsite parking for four cars and an enclosed courtyard with patio and barbecue. Trawsfynydd village has a shop fifty yards away and a pub within a mile. The location opens onto several draws: Trawsfynydd Lake for fishing, cycling and walking; Blaenau Ffestiniog's Bounce Below and Zip World for active days; the Ffestiniog Railway to Porthmadog and Black Rock Sands beach; Portmeirion's Italianate architecture; and forest walks around Coed y Brenin and Dolgellau. The coast is ten miles off. No smoking indoors.
