A gem of a hotel to stay at. The staff were awesome.
Pros:

We (three cyclists) have just got back from a brilliant stay at Radnorshire Arms Hotel and honestly can’t fault it. If you love places packed with history, you’ll love this place. It's a gorgeous 16th-century building with old oak panels, wonky beams, and loads of character. It has a great wood-panelled bar area, and the outside garden was a super cool area to relax. The staff here are lovely too; they are incredibly welcoming and genuinely friendly from the second you walk through the door. A special shout-out to Martin the manager, who gave us every assistance as we had to store three bicycles for our overnight stay. The weather was also not good the next day, and he even offered us his services to get our bikes to our next stay. He was also very engaging, polite and exceedingly respectful. In fact he made our stay a pleasure.

Ohhh yes, the carvery we had was top notch.

We will definitely be back!

Cons:

Nothing. A faultless stay.

Pros:

Waren op doorreis met 3 volwassenen, 1 nacht gebleven.
Prachtig oud pand waar we vriendelijk werden ontvangen, heeft eigen gezellige pub en restaurant.
Mooie kamer en aansluitende badkamer, (ietwat verouderd qua onderhoud maar niets ernstig)
Gezellige Biergarten en zalig gegeten in het eigen restaurant.
Prijs / prestatie was dik in orde.

Cons:

Niets

Sfeervol verblijf in een karakteristiek, levendig plaatsje
Pros:

* Historisch karakter van het oude hotel
* Comfortabele kamer met goede ensuite badkamer
* Gezellige pub met lekker eten
* Vriendelijk personeel
* Mooie ligging in een levendig, karakteristiek oud plaatsje
* Kleinschalige, gezellige sfeer

Cons:

* Op zondag werd er ’s avonds geen eten in de pub geserveerd
* Buiten in de tuin was er wel een kleine kaart
* Rond 18.00 uur was er al weinig voorraad over
* Daardoor beperkte keuze en uiteindelijk een snelle hap
* Blijkbaar typisch voor deze streek, dus goed om rekening mee te houden

We will use this hotel for an overnight again.
Pros:

Pretty good. Would have liked some hot alternatives.

Cons:

The Wi-Fi in the evening was dreadful, weak and dropping out every minute or so. Oddly, in the morning it was fine.

Family-friendly, great location
Pros:

We liked the guy (owner?) who walked around, was generally available to help, made friendly comments and acknowledged the ups and downs of the place. He was great and really made the stay more personal.

The continental breakfast was good - loved the fruit salad especially, and the Welsh cakes were a nice touch.

The bed was comfy and the garden rooms escape the noise of hotel life, so that was helpful. Having a covered walkway to the hotel was a nice touch too, as was seeing the garden used for growing a variety of things.

The garden rooms have a small table and 2 chairs just outside the window. Most rooms have a screen between them and the next room.

Really lovely family-friendly beer garden with a decent play area. Live music on the Saturday night didn't go on late.

The location - being able to step straight on to the high street - was great, and the surrounding area was quiet. Presteigne is a lovely little town, well worth a visit.

Cons:

What we didn't realise was that the main path between the hotel and the hotel car park runs along in front of the row of garden room doors and room windows.

The garden rooms are screened off a bit from the beer garden with plants and a decent sized lawn, but you can hear everything going on. Which is fine and lovely to hear kids playing - just don't expect a peaceful and private garden!

The garden rooms are not apartments but a row of terraced studio rooms - they are one large room with a bathroom. The doors of the garden rooms open out onto the path, so if you are in bed or changing and someone in your room opens the door to sit outside or go to the car etc, you're on view to anyone walking by.

Ashtrays on the tables outside the rooms mean some occupants will smoke.

Hot water ran out occasionally.
