Last Inn

Snowdonia National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri)


In a 15th-century cobbler's home now lives Barmouth's most characterful pub, full of inglenooks, old ship timber and other eclectic nautical memorabilia. Unusually, the hillside forms the rear wall, with a spring emerging to create a gaudily decorated pond inside the building itself. Kids are welcome, the menu’s full of crowd-pleasers and there’s live music on Tuesday and Friday nights.
