George III Hotel Restaurant in Gwynedd

We were tempted by the coffee and cake offer and from the illustration of a generous piece of cake we were looking forward to it. The coffee was fine, albeit in a take away cup but the cake was very disappointing, a small piece, again in a takeaway box, not worth the price. Beware!

Stayed for 2 nights in a lovely clean and comfortable room (Cregennan) with a great view over the estuary. Fresh milk provided for the room without needing to ask. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Decent restaurant and bar featuring Robinsons own ales amongst others.

The hotel’s location is stunning, offering beautiful views of the Mawddach Estuary, and the historic charm of the building adds to its appeal. I was particularly impressed by the camaraderie among the staff. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout my stay. Their teamwork made the experience enjoyable, and it felt like they went out of their way to ensure all guests were well taken care of. The hotel’s warm atmosphere and the restaurant's seasonal pub food. Overall, it’s an excellent destination for a peaceful, scenic retreat.

We popped in here for lunch Monday 14th Oct. We've walked past it many times, its location has to be one of the best in the UK and we'd just walked the Mawddach Trail so were starving. The menu is one of those where choosing is difficult - but not for good reasons. Husband went for fishfinger sandwich and I went for KING PRAWN club sandwich. Husband's came on thick stodgy ciabatta (yes we knew it came on that kind of bread) with yukky melted tartare smeared all over it, all very greasy. And my king prawn with house marie rose sauce sandwich? Served on thick, dry white bread and the prawns were in fact teeny tiny shrimps, minute and grey looking. My fries were also in a clump stuck together. But really, don't class something as king prawn when it barely registers as a shrimp. Wet, tasteless, unpleasant, a rip-off. Generally I don't believe in leaving bad reviews and I know we should have complained on the spot, but it was so bad, it's irked me ever since and the George needs to learn and never serve this muck again, not for £13.95 certainly! The more mature waiter who collected our plates could see by the amount we'd left that all was not well. He should have questioned us but was accepting. p.s readers, for an excellent prawn sandwich in the area, go to the Dyffed Cafe on the way to Welshpool, perfect.

Last minute booking for lunch for three. Fish and chips, pork belly and a fish cake in Hollandaise sauce for my wife who only eats small portions. All excellent apart from the fondant potato which did not appear to be cooked through and was quite hard. Nevertheless, the pork was excellent as was the crackling and the accompanying vegetables. The two pieces of fish were lovely, white and flakey with crunchy batter. The hollandaise sauce was creamy smooth and a great accompaniment to the fish cake. Red fruit accompanied the brûlée. The staff were excellent and attentive. One recommendation for future lunchtime diners - book for 12:30 or before otherwise you will be alone at the end of your meal.

We stopped there for a coffee and pudding round 2 pm The gentleman at the bar was not friendly at all Refuse to serve us outside No food outside he said !! But people were eating !!!! Anyway the only option was to eat a meal inside It is not the first time we have upset Nevermind lost two customers Don t go there if you are not ready to spend money Very expensive for the food !!!!

Excellent place views stunning food very good staff always helpful lots of lovely walks or just sit and enjoy the views what ever takes your fancy

We were a group of 7 who visited for lunch while on the way to a holiday stay in the area. The photos don't do the spot justice: amazing views both outside and from a lot of seats indoors. Nice, cosy interior too, which I think has recently been refreshed. We'd booked a table with a dog and a pram - these were mentioned when the table was booked over the phone, but, on arrival, we were told we'd booked a table in the non-dog friendly restaurant area...not sure what had happened there. Luckily, they were able to accommodate us in another spot, but service from everyone working that particular lunchtime just felt OK: not unfriendly, but not friendly either. However, we had great food, and some good beers on tap, so we'd return if in the area.

One star for being in good location, they unable to honour our booking, My wife had booked a two night stay for my 70th birthday in disabled room, we had just left home this morning when they called to say our room was unavailable (someone obviously let it without checking system) this was glossed over with alternative room being offered which was not suitable because of mobility. To say we angry is an understatement spoilt and cancelled my 70 birthday gift! We have stayed at George many times this has left me and wife very upset and will not be booking with at Georgeor Robinsons again.

Our group of 4 adults visited the George for the first time today and had an excellent 2 course lunch. The food was fresh ,well cooked and tasty and the menu was flexible. The young staff were friendly and helpful. The overall cost including drinks was £ 110.00 and we thought it was very good value. All in all a great experience and we will be going back when we can.

Love everything about this place - gorgeous decor, location/views, comfortable rooms, food, staff, dog friendly and so relaxing to stay.

Yet another great long weekend at the George the Third. This wasn't the first time my partner and I have stayed here with her little dog Paddy and it wont be the last. Cracking location, friendly helpful staff, lovely food and drink. The rooms are comfy, the views from the estuary rooms are fantastic, especially in autumn. Its so nice that they are very dog friendly. Not a lot to say other that the GT3 is highly recommended! 👌👍

We came during lunch service (without a reservation) the team were extremely apologetic and told us when they next had availability. We left and came back Service was fantastic very personable, efficient and not overbearing. Food was beautiful all 4 dishes looked, smelt and tasted great. We live in Yorkshire and will be returning to this part of Wales to frequent George the third again

Great place to have some food and drinks to while away an afternoon. Try and get a window seat if you can as the view is fantastic. The beer was good and reasonably priced and the food excellent. We had the BBQ chicken burger, it was tasty and well cooked. The staff kept a bust bar moving well so there was no wait and the whole bar/restaurant/toilet area was kept clean. I wouldn't hesitate to pop back in for food and drink if I was in the area.

Having looked forward to Sunday lunch, booked in advance, on arrival no trace of booking. Fitted in bar area. My partner lovely view of lake myself sat staring at bar window. Ordered fish and chips to find fish would be classed as small fishi in chippy and chips few in number undercooked and not crispy. Ordered lemon cheesecake so tart as inedible. What a shame?

We dropped in for some lunch today whilst walking in the area. The scenery is beautiful! The staff at the George were really welcoming. The George is also dog friendly! We ordered a cheeseburger, a feta & bacon pizza and a cheesy garlic bread. For drinks we ordered a tap water and a Mojito cocktail. My wife really enjoyed the Mohito. The cheeseburger was absolutely delicious, probably the best I have ever eaten! It was loaded with cheese, gherkins , salad, bacon and a really tasty sauce. The feta & bacon pizza was also perfect and a really good sized portion. Couldn’t fault the food or service! Would highly recommend and will definitely return.

We have been a number of times before, for drinks and meals with no problem and good food. But I booked a table for the 10 September for our Ruby wedding anniversary. To say the Sunday lunch we had was totally Rubbish is not far wrong. It was like it was dished up at 2pm and served out at 6.30pm.Even when we brought it to staff attention the reply was, it shouldn't have left the kitchen. In Fairness to the staff they did apologise and remove it from the bill.

We were staying nearby and booked in to the George The Third for an evening meal. From arrival the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The draught beer is excellent and the service was top notch. We ordered the Lamb Shank, Fish and Chips and the BBQ Chicken Burger. All the meals were cooked to perfection, we had a side of seasonal vegetables as well which were lovely and everything came out at the same time piping hot. We never felt rushed but someone was always around to check if we wanted anymore drinks. For dessert we ordered the Orange Chocolate Torte, Lemon Cheesecake and a Brownie. Again all the food was to an excellent standard. The staff and Chef were very accomadating as we have a bit of a fussy son and they substituted certain things and even swapped an ice cream around on the dessert to his favourite flavour. The price was reasonable for what we had and the quality of the food. When we enquired about a room at the hotel the member of staff was very helpful and checked there and then for us and confirmed the price but didn't pressure us to book. To top the excellent customer service, food and drink off was the views of the area. Definately use the toll bridge as its £1 to use and cuts out a lot of time. We would highly recomend the restaurant to anyone, unfortunately we ran out of time or I think we would of also been leaving a great review about the hotel. If you are in the area definately try the food here, I can also recomended the Pitch Stout on draught.

Excellent ambience, lovely friendly staff and decent meal. Table with superb estuary views and welcoming atmosphere.We have visited there many times and will definitely be doing so again in the future! Thank you to all the hardworking staff there!

Our second visit , it did not disappoint. I would recommend booking as they always seem to be busy . The view of the estuary is amazing , Good menu , will be back again

Stayed for 2 nights for a family reunion. They coped with our large dinner party well. Well appointed rooms. Great view .

Our 2nd visit last week. Staff very friendly and willing to make your stay pleasurable. Lovely room overlooking the sea - clean, comfortable and very nice accessories Food good in the pub - a slight problem with the Lamb shank but that was sorted. The Hake was lovely but rather too much sauce. Breakfast is good Will certainly return

Every time we go to the van we come here, it’s absolutely beautiful .The service is so comforting and I love the presentation it was absolutely incredible.The food is absolutely gorgeous every time we come . THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️. Love from your favourite customer JESSICA age 9 XXX

A beautiful place and amazing place to stay. This was our second visit for my partner's birthday and it was just as brilliant as the first visit. We brought our puppy with us and we were all made to feel very welcome both in the pub and accommodation. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Sarah was amazing and so were all the other staff we met during our stay. If you enjoy walking and want a memorable stay don't hesitate to book your room here.

Lovely evening meal, delicious food, friendly and attentive staff, catered for our party of meat eaters, vegan and coeliac. Had a drink on the terrace with the lovely view over the estuary.

We went there for a post wedding Sunday lunch. The food was good apart from me, specifically asking for beef on the very rare to rare side, but mine came sadly devoid of pink! The rest of the meal was good, although the Yorkshire has...

Beautiful hotel, fantastic location/views, excellent food (dinner and breakfast). Highly recommended.

First time here, what a great place to chill out, eat and have a drink. Restaurant was busy but service was very good considering how busy they were. Food was very nice, good selection of items on the menu. We had a window table with...

Had a very enjoyable lunch overlooking the beautiful Mawddach estuary; from our window seats we enjoyed cormorants and egrets feeding. Very friendly staff and we enjoyed our food; they even do mini-dog meals too! The pub is next to the quaint toll bridge and on...

This is a beautiful setting overlooking the hills and estuary, delightful terrace bar, in fact good surroundings inside too. Sadly the lunch menu which looked good pub food fayre and more was disappointing in its poor quality, coleslaw with many choices! , it. Recommend for...

Love this place we requested a window table in advance.When we arrived received a very warm welcome from the upstairs reception lady. She even walked us to our table. Very dog friendly room available by the bar if needed, we always used it but sadly...

Amazing views on the Mawddach Estuary..Stunning setting. Sunday lunch is lovely with lots of choice.Would highly recommend 5*****

Perfect spot for dinner, staff so welcoming and excellent front of house. disappointed in main meal, fish was over cooked such a shame.

Came here for a 2 night break with friends. We were checked in by Ben who also cooked us breakfast the next day and dinner on the last night of our stay. The hotel is in a beautiful spot overlooking the estuary. The food is...

A must stay location with fantastic views over the estuary . The rooms are excellent and well presented. However the food is ok but dose not match the quality of the rooms and the environment.

A lovely restaurant with great views, a warm welcome awaits. We visited twice during our week, once for an evening meal and on another occasion for coffees whilst walking part of the Mawddach trail.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch, it could have done with being served a little warmer but it didn’t spoil our meal. The staff were very nice and we were well looked after. The quality of the ales were also very good. Look forward to visiting...

King prawns were small, overcooked and overpriced. No steak and ale pie, not a good lunch time menu, needs more homemade and local food on offer. Staff didnt check halfway through if food was ok, which was pretty average. Was out for husbands birthday lunch...

Set in a fantastic location, on the estuary. Excellent service and food. Staff very friendly and had a top evening watching the sun go down.

The picture doesn’t do it credit. We go out for a roast regularly, this didn’t disappoint. The taste and balance of the meat and veg was perfect. The staff were very friendly, the atmosphere and views enjoyable. We went for the lamb shank and worth...

We stayed at the hotel for the first time yesterday. The setting is beautiful, the hotel is lovely from the well appointed rooms to the restaurant and bar area. The food in the restaurant was excellent with very attentive staff. From the moment we walked...

The beauty of the local area, and the stunning views from the hotel, are both given. But what made our stay so enjoyable was the quality of service given by the staff: always attentive, helpful, courteous and friendly.

Another lovely Friday evening at this fabulous place. Living locally we are spoilt but they deliver every time we visit. Food was fantastic. Welcome is always genuine.

We had a really enjoyable Sunday lunch at this hotel. The food was cooked lovely, the beef tender with all the trimmings. Make sure you order a side of cauliflower cheese - it was one of the best we've had! No room for pudding sadly...

Was it perfect? No. There was a few issues, the pub is lovely and charming. The issues were rectified quickly and there was a genuine care for service and standards. Crumble was a massive portion and really tasty. Credit to the manager / landlord who...

We recently visited for drinks and a meal. Really good service, very friendly and welcoming. The location has lovely views across the estuary/river as it is right next to the river bed. The meals themselves were good. The cauliflower fritters were a bit doughy but...

Staff friendly, service excellent. Attention to detail in very comfortable room excellent. Feaceful with wonderful view.

Fantastic Location with rooms overlooking the estuary. Dog friendly throughout the hotel, and great walks on the doorstep. Good food and really friendly staff. Couldn't fault anything. Thanks for a great stay.

Had a lovely stay at The George while visiting family across the estuary. Never been to this part of Wales before.. the views are amazing. The George was a excellent choice, ALL the staff were very friendly and accommodating to our needs during our stay....

We often eat here, always good food, friendly service and nice ambiance. Its very Christmassy at the moment too.

We made our way down to the pub filled with high expectations that unfortunately were not met. We entered the pub, and had a drink at the bar. We were seated in the furthest dining area that was completely empty and cold. We ordered our...

What a stunning place!!! We were lucky to come for a walk when there was a thick layer of snow. The George looked like in Narnia. All the Christmas decorations were beautiful. We stayed for Sunday lunch and food was absolutely delicious, best roast Turkey...

Lovely location next to the estuary and a good vibe inside. My partner enjoyed his pate and steak pie, but my fishcake lacked flavour, as did the stodgy beer-battered fish and accompanying chips. The £24 bottle of Malbec was decidedly dull.

The service was very nice and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our mains, especially the steak salad, which was delicious!

What wonderful location, great hotel/pub, attentive staff and good food and drink….we can’t wait to make a return visit/stay.

From the first phone call to the end of our three-night stay everyone and everything was just great. Fantastic location, amazing walks, great food and lovely atmosphere. Thank you everyone at the George III.

What a place. Incredibly relaxing. Couldn’t find fault. Very dog-friendly, without being one of ‘those’ doggy hotels. Impeccably clean.

Talk about a can't be arsed dining experience. Total bill came to £45 for lunch which came in plastic baskets with cheap wooden cuttlery. No kids meals on the menu so a 5 year olds meal was £12.50. Food was ok, nothing special. Not recommended,...

This pub has all the advantages of being in a beautiful surrounding with fine views over the river. the bar is fitted out functionally but not uncomfortable for the mostly passing trade. Unfortunately the impression is all negative. The board outside advertises all day food....

During a week long stay in Wales we ate in this wonderful pub on three evenings. Each time the surroundings, staff, service and fantastic food were amazing. Special thanks go to our lovely waiters who coped admirably with all the various permutations that our party...

The George III team did an excellent job in catering for our large party of 14 and making us fopr welcome as well as delivering good prompt and efficient service. The food served was in the main good and well received, however as with many...

Staff were really welcoming and friendly. The steak and ale pie was delicious and really tasty . We will definately return .

We visited this evening for dinner after a long drive up to Wales from the Isle of Wight. We hadn't booked and when we arrived we were disappointed to hear they were fully booked. However, the lady found us a cosy little table and squeezed...

Last time we were on holiday in the area we had a meal here and apart from the menu being 80's 'pub bland choice' my own meal was very poor but to their credit it was instantly refunded without asking. This time we thought to...

We ate dinner at the George III and overall it was a bit disappointing. The bar area looked lovely and was busy but we were seated in a larger restaurant room with only two other tables occupied so it lacked any atmosphere. The staff were...

Disappointed really! Robinsons have hiked up the prices dramatically to stay in their rooms which we could not justify! However we did eat in the restaurant! Menuchoices very odd ! Gammon served with mash leeks and an egg! Urrrgh! Menu not inspiring and too expensive...

We had lunch here. We looked at the website before arriving. It stated that the restaurant was open. We have eaten in the restaurant several times since Robinson's have taken over. There was always a wide range of meals and we have always been very...

What a lovely pub and location absolutely stunning views has to be in my top three pubs visited. We had a drink first in the bar downstairs, the weather helped as everyone was sitting outside soaking up the sun and enjoying the scenery. We had...

stopped here while walking the mawddach trail for refreshments tables outside ovelooking the estuary and toll bridge.did not have food but looks a great spot to go for food will definitely try it next time in the area

An amazing place with a great location . The food was delicious and the staff could not be more helpful (especially Leo and Sarah). We will definitely come back and would recommend a visit to anyone . Just perfect

Have visited The George for 3 evening meals in the past week and have loved every one. The food is delicious and portions are plentiful - have only managed dessert once! Staff are so welcoming & attentive and make you feel like family. Totally dog...

All in all it was a good meal with excellent service. The views and the location are superb! It would have been 5 stars but a restaurant where I counted 7 dogs that were barking quite a bit distracted from the eco Erie course enough...

I had a moist tender chicken breast served with a rich wild mushroom sauce and unusually accompanied by a polenta; my wife had a flavoursome crab and chilli risotto, which was well balanced for both elements. Freindly efficient service. Stunning views across the estauary and...

What a lovely pub in a great location. Whilst on a camping holiday in the area we planned a stop here for a rainy day, but the rain never came. We sat outside in the most perfect little private terrace area surrounded by nature. We...

Superb rooms, great food and a wonderful location. That is why myself and my family have been coming here for generations!

We have a holiday home nearby, so we are regular ( once a month ) customers at The George. We feel like it’s a must do whenever we are in this area. Usually we stop for Sunday lunch, but opted for a Saturday night feast...

Perfect location in a beautiful situation by the water. Great room with a view across the river. Good food but most notable was the helpfulness, friendliness and cheerfulness of all the staff. Easy cycling from the front door.

A beautiful pub, excellent staff/ service but just a shame our Sunday lunch was not upto expectations. Sadly the cuts of beef we had were incredibly rubbery - impossible to cut through let alone chew! Also equally disappointing was the side order of pigs in...

Arrived at 5pm to be welcomed into table , waitress was straight upon us for our order so we asked for a few moments and ordered our drinks with her ,,,,, that's where all customer service ended , drinks were bought food ordered and all...

On both occasions we found the staff very pleasant and helpful. Good selection on the menu at both times of the day, the food was excellent. Great views over the estuary too

We found this place by driving through and decided to return that evening and we were not disappointed. We were greeted by Sarah who is such a fantastic front of house person she made us feel so welcome. Sarah gave us a seat overlooking the...

Superb food and great atmosphere with views across the estuary. Will definitely visit again as an ideal venue for a special occasion. Excellent value for money.

Great staff .Dreadful meals .Crab and Prawn risotto ….no crab , no prawns .!! Pie was dry and hard ,veg almost raw . We did get some discount but a very disappointing evening

Fabulous Sunday lunch here today. Greeted by Sarah at the desk, who welcomed us, made a fuss of our little dog then escorted us to our table and explained everything to us. A first class example of how customer service should be. Food was superb...

We were recommended to book Sunday lunch for a dog friendly area…. And so pleased we did. This was incredible!!! The staff were busy but perfectly attentive and friendly. Good wine-Very good meat and everything you could want from a tasty roast- including extra gravy!...

I booked online which was easy and straight forward. We were greeted by a young man who took us to our table in the dining room. All the staff were lovely and friendly. Our starters were out really quickly. Our main courses were amazingly good....

It was amazing, I loved my sausages, mash, veg and gravy. I wish I could have this meal everyday. The chefs cooking is incredible. The staff were really welcoming, friendly and they kept checking that we were ok. We will definitely come back again soon....

Nice meal. Great view. Had dinner steak and clesar salads. Tasty. Would look better if in shallower bowls. Bar area quite noises

Great service and food. They do vegan options. Reasonable prices. Recommend booking as it gets very busy. Would go again

Visited here a few times for food and I would highly reccomend! Staff are friendly, food is excellent and the views/location are beautiful! Parts of the pub/restaurant are also dog friendly which is a bonus.

Was on holiday nearby with family and passed this place several times. Thought the 6 of us would give it a go for an early lunch. On the positive side, the staff were very friendly and the view was stunning, even on a misty Welsh...

Where to start… possibly the most beautiful pub location we’ve ever been to! We had a fantastic lunch, every plate of food was delicious… the service was faultless and the view from the window in the estuary room… oh my!

Stopped here on way back from a cycle ride along the Mawdacch trail having got rather soggy as windy and rainy- we had also forgotten our bike locks but the landlord was very accommodating and let us put our bikes in the basement so we...

I have reviewed the George III in May 2019, not long after Robinsons taking it over, and although the food was good the service was poor. But NOT THIS TIME! We recently had a family meal for 10. We all opted, except for one, for...

Friendly service and lovely food. Cheerful surroundings. Friendly and welcoming to dogs. Very accommodating for fussy kids.

Absolutely love this place and can't speak too highly of it. Really friendly staff, lovely rooms (estuary view rooms are a must), great food and drink, dog friendly and the best location. Stunning views regardless of the weather. Stayed here twice now and I know...

We intended to have fish & chips in either Harlech or Barmouth but after searching both towns discovered they were both closed in January! As George 111 isn’t too far from Barmouth I Googled it to find out whether food was served on a Wednesday,...

Rooms are superb with views of the estuary, above gastro pub with excellent food and ambience. Recommended.

A family meal (8 people). Food was tasty although the menu was limited. Felt COVID safe, sanitised and tables cleaned. Very disappointed with the way the food was served. Some food served in baskets, other food was served in cardboard boxes and wooden cutlery which...

We loved our visit, the rooms were clean, tidy and very modern. Staff Leo especially was very friendly and accommodating. All the staff were great. We ate in the restaurant in the evening, delicious and fresh ( I had the chicken curry) so tasty The...
