A highly rated restaurant with rooms that closed earlier this year has been put up for sale. Gareth F?n Jones and Roland Evans fell in love with Tŷ Castell (Castle House) - a place that was originally home to the castle constable.

It had been empty since 1993 but the couple restored the property in 2017 and opened it as a place to eat, drink and stay. The site built up an excellent reputation - securing AA rosettes for its food.

But Gareth F?n, who was also headteacher at Ysgol Dolbadarn in Llanberis, sadly died last summer, aged 53. This February it was announced it was closing with a "heavy heart".

It is now on the market with Dafydd Hardy for ?450,000.
