An impressive Grade II building found just off the A470, midway between Dolgellau and Machynlleth. Mainly catering for hotel guests, the bar is open to the general public on Friday and Saturday evenings although it is worth calling ahead to be accommodated outside of these times. From the main entrance, doors lead in to a porch with a door with stained leaded panels leading through to the hallway. To the right is a spacious lounge with wood flooring, large bay windows, feature marble fireplace and sofa seating. To the left of the hallway is the bar and restaurant, a traditional-styled room with wood burning stove, timber floors, timber bar servery and seating.

Historic Interest

Constructed as a hotel in 1873 the Buckley Arms is reputedly the oldest reinforced concrete building in Europe and the second oldest in the world. Built by Edmund Buckley (1834-1910), latterly Sir Edmund Buckley, 1st Baronet of Llandovery, MP, who arrived on the scene at Dinas Mawddwy from Manchester in 1856.
