Few pub locations in Britain can rival the setting of the George III. Sitting right on the shores of the Mawddach Estuary, with the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia) rising beyond, this historic inn offers the sort of views that encourage guests to linger a little longer over breakfast, a pint by the fire or an evening meal overlooking the water. Dating to the 17th century, it combines the character and charm of a traditional Welsh inn with comfortable accommodation, excellent food and a warm, friendly atmosphere. Step outside and you will find yourself moments from the renowned Mawddach Trail, while the peaks of Cader Idris, the market town of Dolgellau and the golden sands of Barmouth are all within easy reach. Whether you are planning a walking holiday in Snowdonia, a cycling break along the estuary, or simply a relaxing escape with your dog beside the water, it is a memorable base from which to experience the best of North Wales.
