With 10 Bedrooms and a self contained apartment, comfortably sleeping 22.

With an enviable reputation for ambience, friendliness and fine cuisine, original solid stone flagstoned floors and four roaring log and peat fires, the George is a lively haunt for both local characters and visitors alike… The present owner, Donald Clark, has carefully and sensitively restored and enhanced the bedrooms, restaurants and bars, in keeping with the buildings history and architecture, to create an unique atmosphere. A choice of 17 en-suite bedrooms, each one completely unique, on room only or B&B. Twin, double, superior and deluxe. Also adjacent to the George, three independent self-catering places - The Barn, The Big Wee Hoose and The Wee Hoose. Food is served from 12 noon to 9pm, with the emphasis on the menu of using the very best of local quality, well hung West Highland beef and lamb, along with seafood and fish bought from the local fishing port of Tarbert and the famous Loch Fyne salmon. These ingredients are used imaginatively and simply to produce well cooked meals at a fair and reasonable price. A wide choice of real ales, 100 malt whiskies and an extensive wine list. It deservedly earns its place in the good pub guide and the good beer guide. Live music at the weekends.
