Yr Hen Fanc Trawsfynydd

Yr Hen Fanc is in Trawsfynydd. It's the old Midland Bank branch, built in the 1960s. It's detached.

It sleeps six, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. It has a 4 Star rating. There's original wood panelling inside. You can still see the spyhole in what was the manager's office door.

The village shop is a minute's walk. The local pub is about a mile away. Trawsfynydd Lake is right here. You can fish, walk, or cycle around it.

For bigger days out, Blaenau Ffestiniog is about a fifteen minute drive. That's where the underground trampolining is, at Bounce Below, and the big zip wires at Zip World. The Ffestiniog steam railway goes from there to Porthmadog.

Porthmadog has a harbour and Black Rock Sands beach. Portmeirion, the Italianate village, is maybe twenty minutes by car. The other way, towards Dolgellau, there's Coed y Brenin forest for mountain biking and walking.

Facilities: there's a wood burner, a washing machine, a dishwasher, and a BBQ. The garden is yours. Parking is on site. Bedding and towels are included. We have a cot and highchair. Sorry, no pets.
