A, T & Buddy the dog
Fab stay here,, so cosy and welcoming â we had some great walks locally. The scenery is stunning. The precipice walk from the George pub is a circular route â hard going up the hill but wirth it at the end for the views! We did a more gentle walk over to Barmouth â drive to the car park at Morfa Mawddach (more of a big lay-by) cross over the road and walk back on yourself a little way til you see a bridleway sign â go along til you get on the Mawddach Trail. Walk along the trail until you get to the train/walking bridge â great fun if a train goes over as youâre walking beside it! Barmouth is lovely â we enjoyed fish and chips at the mermaid and enjoyed the shops. The Last Inn is also worth a visit. Thank you!
