    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 The local vibe in the bar was fun, but the decor is a bit outdated.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.

    I had the most charming stay in a Deluxe Double with River View! The views of the River Severn from my room were absolutely breathtaking, providing the perfect backdrop to my mornings. Plus, the breakfast options blew me away—smooth hot chocolate and buttery croissants that made each bite a delight!
