We’re right on the cycle path, that used to be the old railway track. That puts us within traffic free reach (by bike or on foot) of Barmouth and it’s golden sands. With so much to explore, it’s no wonder we’ve been a popular spot for cyclists, walkers, pub goers and dog lovers for generations.** **The George offers a great place to relax and unwind with a menu packed full of classic pub favourites and dishes created using only the best seasonal produce making us ideal whether stopping by after a long walk or ride or choosing a place to celebrate a special occasions.** We love the patter of paws and so we’re an extremely dog friendly pub. Our bar area and snug offer roaring fires that will lull even the most excited four-legged pal to a quick slumber so you can enjoy a relaxing pint at the end of a busy day. Our 10 beautifully refurbished bedrooms offer a great night’s sleep with a breath-taking view worth waking up early for. The perfect way to start a new day of exploring the beauty that surrounds us. ![Two plates of food on the table.
