    triple room view
    outstanding food

    I had a lovely stay in a comfortable triple room with a stunning view. The food was outstanding, especially the salmon and belly pork!

    Felt so relaxed, nothing to complain about.

    The breakfast selection featured an excellent variety of made-to-order options.

    The evening dining menu was limited and had several items unavailable.

    friendly team
    comfortable parking
    poor maintenance

    comfortable but lacks attention to detail

    The free parking provided was convenient for our family. The bar team was friendly and attentive, which made our evenings more enjoyable.

    The room could use better maintenance.

    river view
    convenient access

    great access to parks and museums for city walks

    I had a lovely stay and enjoyed the beautiful river view while also finding it super convenient that I was just a few steps away from the Newtown Textile Museum and the Robert Owen Museum. both were perfect stops during my city strolls.

    Comfortable room, secure parking, with the added benefit of a convenient bar area and easy access to the town center, making it a great spot for exploring.

    friendly staff
    tasty food
    beautiful countryside
    limited evening dining

    Had an awesome time with friends! The staff were super friendly, and the food was tasty. We explored a local market and went hiking in the stunning countryside. Just a heads-up, the place could use a bit of a refresh, but overall, a solid trip!

    The restaurant's evening service was lacking. We were hoping for more dining options to enjoy at night, but there weren't any available.

    accessibility issues
    limited seating

    The views over the River Severn were enchanting, providing a tranquil backdrop that truly enhanced my experience. The staff were attentive, quickly assisting with my needs and ensuring I felt comfortable throughout my stay.

    Improve accessibility features for senior guests.

    veggie sausages

    It was just a suitable option for a brief visit in Newtown (Powys) with good value. The staff were really friendly and the breakfast had veggie sausages, which I loved! If you're picky about beds, ask for a proper double instead of two singles pushed together.

    Perfect spot for a peaceful stay

    I stayed for a night and loved the river view from my room. it was really calming. The local vibe in the bar was fun, but the decor is a bit outdated. The service was top-notch, and I enjoyed a nice breakfast. Just wish the room had better cooling, as it was super hot outside.

    The breakfast had delightful vegetarian options available!

    Our room was too close to a noisy night club, disrupting our sleep.
