The fantastic Oakeley Arms Hotel, in Tan Y Bwlch.  http://www.oakeleyarms.co.uk/  The hotel where we recovered before the drive back home.  Fantastic staff, fantastic beer and the food was out of this world! We even attempted to learn Welsh! "Diolch yn fawr iawn"

Homeward Bound!

Well, it’s 09:40 and we're on our way back home.  We had a great evening at The Oakeley Arms, Tan Y Bwlch, Gwynedd where the owner, 'Big Chris', and his staff really made us welcome. Once we had been shown to our rooms it was time for a nice hot shower and some dry clothes.  We all met later in the bar for a few well deserved drinks and a fantastic meal. Then, it was straight to bed.  I was asleep before my head hit the pillow! Following a shower and a cup of tea, we met for a full cooked breakfast with plenty of toast, cereal, tea, coffee and fruit juice.

If you are ever in Wales, we certainly would recommend The Oakeley Arms for its friendly atmosphere and fantastic food.  (Try the curry!). http://www.oakeleyarms.co.uk/index.htm
