Crown Inn, hotel in Rhayader

Situated in the market town of Rhayader, within the rural historic county of Radnorshire, the Crown Inn offers en suite accommodation with free Wi-Fi and TV.

The location along with the other places in Rhaydaer owned by the same outfit are in a very convenient location for visiting that part of mid Wales. I have stayed at a number of them previously and generally found them to be adequate. The evening meal and beer we had at the Crown was ok and not too expensive.

Ty Morgan's, hotel in Rhayader

This modern 3-storey guest house offers contemporary accommodation in the heart of the historic market town of Rhayader. A selection of 9 guest rooms is available for a convenient and private stay.

Just perfect. Everything was excellent. Friendly and very helpful staff. Nothing was a problem. Room was a good size with ample tea and coffee. Centred in the middle of Rhayader the hotel meant getting around very easy. I travelled with a bicycle and there was a great locked up shed to placed it overnight. I had an evening meal at the hotels bistro (Fridays and weekends) which was super. Breakfast was equally super.

    Perfect venue for investigating mid Wales and the Elan Valley. Small town but has everything you need for a self catering holiday, the right shops and takeaways if you want them, but if you prefer to go out and be fed, all the pubs serve food. Astonishing area with the mountains, rivers and general countryside. Couldn't ask for more

    Five pubs within a stones throw of each other in the main square. My kind of town. The Crown was excellent and recommended by three different random strangers Best stocked co-op I’ve ever seen 😆 Friendly people in the shops and pubs.

    The Triangle has good food and proper beer. Also The Lamb and Flag serves a good pint of Cwrw. You must visit the 5 reservoirs whatever the weather. We only managed 2 on our 3 day visit as the weather was poor. However as it rained so much the overtopping of Claerwen dam was spectacular to see and hear.

    Everything you could need is there.

    Everything you could need is there. Friendly welcoming community. Excellent pubs, cafes and takeaways. Good shops. Prices very good. Lots of places to visit.localy. Remember there's no such thing as bad weather just inappropriate clothing. Everywhere is dog friendly.. We love Elan, great visitor centre, with gift shop, not overpriced and a coffee shop with great food, dog and child friendly. Great place to burn off excess energy, walk, bike,or run. Cheap parking, free hour or £3 all day. Lots of wild life and facilities for disabled people.

    We came to Rhayader to go round the Elan Valley dams as we do each New Year. This time we decided to stay overnight and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in spite of the torrential rain. Whilst we enjoyed bed and breakfast at The Bear, we dined in the Crown in the evening where the food was excellent and the beer was good as well. The staff were great at the Bear and the Crown. The Elan Valley and its dams, built to supply Birmingham with water and opened about 120 years ago, just a mile of two from Rhayader are well worth a visit to see the Victorian engineering. The Visitor Centre, as well as serving brilliant bacon baps and a cuppa, also houses a museum and shop where there is so much information about building the dams and the things that you can do in the valley like walking, cycling, bird watching and much more. We had a good time there.

    Hafod Hardware shop is a must as its sells an eclectic mix of items and a visit to the tearoom by the clock tower. The only negative would be the lack of understanding of most drivers on how to negotiate the roads around the clock tower !

    This place is located on the road between Rhayader village and the dams. It’s secluded and quiet. The village itself is fairly busy and noisy so the quiet is great. Our room was at the back part of the house. Very roomy with a huge bed. Everything was clean and very comfortable, other than the bathroom. The hosts do serve a limited menu dinner which was not outrageously priced and was quite good. Breakfast was excellent. The hosts, including their old dog, are helpful, friendly and worth a chat.

    Lovely location in the centre of Rhayader so very convenient for shopping or going out for meals. The house is set back from the road and so is very quiet. The area for parking is spacious and there was outdoor seating (suitable for meals outdoors) at both the front and back of the house. The house was very modern, nicely furnished and the kitchen facilities were excellent. The wifi worked really well too. Overall the house was outstanding value for money.

    The Bear's Den was neat, spotlessly clean and as described. Location is excellent, near to local shops and bars and only an hour's walk/10 minute drive to the picturesque Elan valley. I was greatly warmly by my host, who throughout gave good communication but otherwise left me to myself.

    A real gem! Very comfortable with excellent food. Steve was an excellent host, able to tell you about the history of the house and the area, also happy to arrange evening meals with local hotels if needed. Being in the centre pf Rhayader nothing is more than about a ten minute walk away.

    The Bear is located right in the heart of Rhayader close to cafes and restaurants. The family room is fantastic, so spacious with a separate sitting area. Would definitely come back for a longer stay as it’s a great base to explore this beautiful part of mid Wales.
