Disappointed and relieved it was a one night stay.
Pros:

Bathroom was contemporary and clean. Breakfast was good.

Cons:

Communal areas eg reception, hall, stairs and landing uninviting and carpet filthy and needs replacing. Dinner spoilt due to a table of loud and rude guests; could not wait to leave restaurant.

Fantastic hotel for dogs
Pros:

Slept so well and bed linen so comfy even though there were traffic lights outside the window running through the night making traffic noise very loud from 5am
Food was exceptional especially the pate .
The dogs slept very well and were very comfortable. Room was perfect and so was the shower

Cons:

Only slight annoyance was the very slow drainage from the bathroom sink .

A useful bolt hole on our cycle tour,
Pros:

Day 1 of our cycle tour, staff very accommodating and stored our bike safely in the function room. Dinner was good, very large portions. breakfast was not included in the room rate. Powys Castle just a short walk and worth a revisit in the future.

Cons:

room rate quite expensive

Comfortable and friendly - a bit tight in the room.
Pros:

Good reception and good food. Room was comfortable, once I realised the window could stay open. Well equipped, long comfortable bath. Handy parking.
Not much else in Welshpool but found some (rather neglected) bits of the Montgomery Canal and some interesting churches.
Beautiful countryside on the doorstep.

Cons:

Room and especially bathroom were a bit exiguous for a full-price double room. Quite a lot of stairs.
