Good beer guide recommended place - down a small alley way and next to the Cross Keyes. Small bar, with low ceiling and an impressive log burner. Four hand pulls on - Tiny Rebel, Plum Porter, one unremembered and a Magic Dragon Eyton Gold. Absolutely perfect condition.

Nice outside area, with benches running alongside the pub.

My first visit to the pretty town of Dolgellau in Snowdonia was to visit this stone pub/hotel in the maze of narrow streets. In all honesty, it has more of the feel of a hotel than a pub. There is a small front room, where the elderly locals gather, a large room at the rear, where a younger crowd gathers and a tiny room in between for any overspill. There is a very traditional feel in the front bar.

The pub has just won the local CAMRA pub of the year award. 4 ales were on offer - Robinson's Freddy Brewger, Wilderness Northern Pale, Wychwood Hobgoblin Gold & Sharp's Doom Bar. My Northern Pale was my favourite beer of the day and from a brewery I'd not previously heard of. Real cider is no longer stocked.

A good local pub that welcomes locals and visitors alike.

This is another old building just a few doors down from the Cross Keys and across the road from the Meirionydd Hotel and Unicorn. As you enter there is a huge fireplace on the left and a raised bar in the middle. To the left of the bar is a small room that I didn't go into.
There were six hand pumps on the bar. One was unused and I was told that it normally has a Purple Moose beer on it. On the rest were Old Rosie Cider, Greene King IPA, Bass, Hobgoblin and Llyn Cwrw Glyndwr. I went for the Llyn beer (£3.10) which was in good nick. I thought the beer selection here was rather mainstream but this was about the only pub I've noticed in the area with a permanent cider. It's well worth a look, but I thought all of the Dolgellau pubs selling real ales were good in some ways.
