Family-run hotel with a reputation for excellent food and service.
Offers both Thai and British cuisine, including a full British menu.
Free private parking and high-speed Wi-Fi available onsite.
Close proximity to the Royal Welsh Showground and scenic walking trails.

“This family-run hotel struck me as a gem in mid-Wales; the rooms seem particularly well-maintained, and the Thai food on-site gets high marks. It's the kind of place where the staff remember your name, and little touches elevate the stay. A solid choice for those wanting an authentic, comfortable experience.”
