Great historic up market pub

Nice to be able to walk into the town. Welshpool is quaint with an interesting history. We were en route to Bristol, good stop off place. Great breakfast.

Immaculately presented accommodation in the centre of Welshpool with a mile walk to Powys Castle
Pros:

We have stayed here before in the same upstairs room actually & it was as expected. Very quiet even with the window open due to the heat. A fan was provided this time which was very welcome. The room was exceptionally clean with everything you could possibly need for an overnight stay. The en-suite had a bath which was very much appreciated and everything again was spotless. We had the roast for our evening meal which was plentiful & delicious and the cooked breakfast is quite substantial so if you are not a big eater, it is best to ask for only one of everything.

Cons:

There were no negatives at all but if I was to be really picky then there were one or two squeaky floorboards.

Great birthday treat
Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff created a lovely cosy vibe which made our stay that bit social...thank you.

Cons:

Breakfast on the second day was not the best .....half an hour wait, then overcooked platter arrived with even a missing black pudding. We did speak to the receptionist on check out who was very apologetic and grateful for the feedback

Perfect place for a friday night stay. Has everything that you need for a relaxing night away.
Pros:

The staff were all lovely. It was an unexpected but good surprise that there was live music on for the night of our stay. Comfortable, quiet room. Nice onsite restaurant. Great choice at the bar.

Cons:

It was quite hard to find the car park, however we did receive instructions, so more about us being unfamiliar with the area. Secure car park was a bonus.
