  Accommodation - Snowdonia
The Old Mill Farmhouse FRON OLEU FARM  at Trawsfynydd lies mid-way between Porthmadog and Dolgellau, in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park. It was once the home of the village corn miller and dates back to the early seventeen hundreds. It is central for attractions, convenient for mountain bikers - only a few minutes north of Coed y Brenin visitor centre and bike trails - and has safe bike storage. Our llamas and small animals keep everyone entertained.
The Oakeley Arms Located in the heart of Snowdonia National Park, it is difficult to imagine a more impressive and convenient location from which to enjoy North Wales than Tan Y Bwlch near Blaenau Ffestiniog – and,therein, specifically, the imposing Oakeley Arms Hotel. The perfect base for memorable holidays and short breaks, the traditionally furnished, decorated and sensitively re-furbished Oakeley Arms Hotel welcomes coaches, small groups, families, couples and sole travellers.
