We stayed in a holiday cottage here for a short break and thought it was lovely and great value for money! Cosy cottage with all mod cons, great pub food and friendly staff. Would def recommend and will visit again. Thanks team Oakley!

A lovely traditional Welsh pub set amongst some very scenic landscape but next to a main road. Having said that, the accommodation the rooms were very good and well appointed, spacious and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the price very reasonable. It is some distance outside of Blaenau Ffestiniog, however there is a bus stop right... More

Had dinner and drinks with some friends while visiting the area, and met up with a mutual friend who lives nearby. Good service and quite a varied menu - much more than expected. Best part was the fairy cake that accompanied my hot chocolate!

We stayed at the Oakeley Arms in one of the cottages for 3 nights and had a really enjoyable and relaxing time. This is our fourth stay at the Oakeley which must say a lot. The cottages are really cosy with character features and excellent facilities. We ate in the hotel and for the price, the meals are very good.... More

Having had 2 very very ordinary accomodation experiences in the preceding 2 days with equally ordinary evening meals it was with great trepidation that we approached the Oakley Arms. Had run late and dark was fast approaching in the middle of Welsh nowhere when we happened upon the historic pub. Having been caught the previous day with accomodation we took... More

We dropped into the Oakeley for lunch over xmas. The staff seemed friendly enough but that's where the positives ended. The lunch was dreadful really. 'Welsh black' burger and chips was overpriced at £7.95 and was of very poor quality. The chips were the deep fried frozen variety, the peas badly overcooked and the burger a disgrace. Chewy and not... More

On entering the Inn, we found the female staff very rude. A smile goes a long way. She did not bother to acknowledge the fact that we were waiting to be served and after being passed twice,she decided to serve us. When we were given our our dinners, 2 of the meals were cold. The lamb and mint pie was... More

We have just stayed here in room number one for four nights whilst visiting the area and I must say that overall we were dissapointed with the accommodation considering the cost etc.. Whilst the room was very spacious with good clean linen with great original features and furniture, the decor was very tired and needed a good dose of TLC... More
