Great value hotel. A good option for se using Machynlleth as a touring centre or stopping off point.
Pros:

Central location with good parking - free secure parking for bicycles.

Our twin room looked newly decorated and was extremely good value. Butty Bach was on tap in the bar, thankfully, as there was surprisingly little choice of real ales in Machynlleth.

My friend didn't want a cooked breakfast so we ate nearby, which was no problem. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Room at the front of the hotel gets a little noise from the town clock during the night, although my friend didn't hear it at all!

Friendly stay in a heritage pub
Pros:

Friendly and reasonable place to atay in the area. The pub had a lively trivia evening and was popular with the locals, as well as a wide menu for food. While the room was basic it was reasonable for a location of this heritage

Cons:

The village clock is right outside, and if you are a light sleeper it may be an issue as it rings every 15 minutes all night.
