The Welsh Government has provided over £200,000 in funding support towards two traditional North Wales Inns refurbishment projects.

The Tourism Investment Support Scheme allocated £72,000 for the refurbishment of Plas yn Dre in Bala, while a further £140,000 was provided to redevelop the Erskine Arms in Conwy.

At Plas yn Dre, the Grade II listed building has been transformed from a family run restaurant with a complete revamp, while nine new en-suite bedrooms have been added to the upper floors.

Elsewhere at the Erskine Arms, the transformation has included building a restaurant and 10 high quality rooms.

Economy Secretary, Ken Skates, said: "I'm delighted that we've been able to support the redevelopment of these two traditional Inns. It's fantastic that they've been given a new lease of life and transformed to become a very high quality product providing employment for the area.  Both are also at the heart of the town in Bala and Conwy – which adds to the appeal and vibrancy of the towns. I wish both developments the very best for future success."
