Had an awesome time with friends! The staff were super friendly, and the food was tasty. We explored a local market and went hiking in the stunning countryside. Just a heads-up, the place could use a bit of a refresh, but overall, a solid trip!
The restaurant's evening service was lacking. We were hoping for more dining options to enjoy at night, but there weren't any available.

It was just a suitable option for a brief visit in Newtown (Powys) with good value. The staff were really friendly and the breakfast had veggie sausages, which I loved! If you're picky about beds, ask for a proper double instead of two singles pushed together.

Perfect spot for a peaceful stay
I stayed for a night and loved the river view from my room. it was really calming. The local vibe in the bar was fun, but the decor is a bit outdated. The service was top-notch, and I enjoyed a nice breakfast. Just wish the room had better cooling, as it was super hot outside.
