Enjoyable stay in a lovely old town
Pros:

Good breakfast, nice to have omelette as a change from the usual "full English". Staff were friendly and helpful, good choice of four cask ales and a reasonably priced restaurant. We particularly valued being able to store our bikes securely overnight.

Cons:

Our room was very warm, but by leaving the window wide open, switching on the fan and removing the duvet from its cover, we slept well.

Wonderful stay!
Pros:

This is my 3rd visit to the Dragon, and every time it just gets better and better! Staff here are amazing! Maya(??) was the perfect host and server, so polite and always had a smile! But have to say a special thank you to Simon and the lady on reception (sorry I forgot your name!) Simon came over at 10pm as my towel radiator was stuck on, and it was about 30 degrees in my room in the middle of a heatwave. Moved me to another room without quibble, couldn't do enough to make my stay as comfortable as possible! Would I come here again? As many times as they would have me!

Lovely old building - but not for football.
Pros:

Lovely old building right in the heart of the charming town of Montgomery. A warm welcome and a very decent dinner and breakfast.

Cons:

OK, Montgomery is in Wales, but England was playing in the World Cup that night and the hotel was not willing to put the match on the TV in the bar. They said they needed to get the room ready for a wedding next afternoon. So, our party of four had to huddle into one of our rooms to watch on a tiny screen. Seemed a bit unreasonable in the circumstances. We’re two couples in our 60s and not hooligans!

Friendly and clean.
Pros:

Well located in tiny pretty village. Very clean. Welcoming and helpful staff on reception who got our dining request sorted quickly. Friendly and pleasant atmosphere.

Cons:

While very clean, the small double room was very small and the decor tired. Mattress slopes off the bed. Shower inadequate. Breakfast was disappointing and service at breakfast was very poor, possibly inexperienced staff who need training.

Fine accommodation in Montgomery.
Pros:

Efficient booking and check in. Secure bike storage available. Very helpful and friendly staff. Clean bedroom with plenty of space. Great food at a very reasonable price. Right in the middle of the town.

Cons:

Room was hot (due to a hot day & night rather than defective heating) even with a window open. There was a fan, though, which helped.
