Enjoy a traditional warm Welsh welcome in this Grade II listed inn, with its highly traditional interior that has won it the accolade of being one of only 100 nationwide listed in CAMRA's June 2010 publication Real Heritage Pubs of Wales. It stands directly opposite former British prime minister David Lloyd George's boyhood home in the picturesque village of Llanystumdwy, just off the A497 between Porthmadog and Pwllheli.
There's ample free parking in the public car park just 100 yards away, while the No 3 bus between Pwllheli and Porthmadog via Criccieth passes our front door up to three times an hour during peak periods.
Criccieth railway station on the Cambrian Coast line is just a mile away. For travel information in Welsh or English contact Traveline Cymru on 0871 2002233 or visit www.traveline-cymru.org.uk.
And we're only 200 yards from the popular Llyn Coastal Path as it passes through Llanystumdwy.
Select a meal from our extensive menu as you sip your choice from our range of Welsh real ales, wines and spirits, together with international brands.
Fully sated, you can then visit the Lloyd George Museum across the road or his grave nearby, or enjoy one of the myriad easy-to-tackle walks that criss-cross this beautiful area.
Featured in the Good Pub Guide 2007, 2008, 2009 and again in 2010, we were awarded the Best Bilingual Business Award at the biennial Gwynedd Business Awards in May 2009, and short-listed in the Best Tourism Business section.
We won the best newcomers category for Wales in the Morning Advertiser Best Pub Awards 2006.
Children are welcome throughout the establishment. But be aware that we strictly adhere to the law as regards serving alcohol to under 18s, and will ask for proof of age if any patron looks under 21.
You can bring your pooch with you into the public bar only, as long as it's well behaved, kept on a lead and off the furniture, and accepts that Jac Stumllyn the pub cat is likely to stroll through at any moment. Please note, though, that we do not serve meals in this bar on Friday nights, when it is reserved for drinkers.
Otherwise we'll gladly provide your dog with a bowl of water out on the patio or in the beer garden.
