Marianne United States of America

The landlady Ming and chef was amazingly accommodating for us. Rooms were perfect and clean, pub restaurant was a little gem, Thai food was top quality. We will be back again, prefect place for our stay. Thanks

Anton United Kingdom

Fantastic service, nice room, great price, beautiful views, lovely breakfast, extremely accommodating (allowed us to have our room early on arrival which helped us get changed for a wedding).

John United Kingdom

Very clean, large room with modern shower/en suite, and very comfortable bed. The internet connection was very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the evening Thai meals were excellent as was the breakfast. We [there were 4 of us in 2 rooms] thought it was excellent value for money and would love to stay there again [this particular booking was just a stop/break on a journey home]. as the surrounding area seemed a great place to explore further.

This small and friendly guest house is located in an imposing 16th century stone-built building, ideally located in the heart of the Teme Valley in Wales on the English border.

Castle Inn is a charming guest house offering comfortable accommodations with in-room amenities including a TV and tea/coffee making facilities.

The bar features a wood-burning stove and offers home-cooked food made from local ingredients. Local ales are served, as well as smooth bitter, draft stout, dry cider, lager and a good selection of wines. Well behaved dogs are allowed in some areas of the bar and the rooms.

Nestled in the beautiful Teme Valley, the Castle Inn lies on the border of Wales and Shropshire, with a stunning stone viaduct at the heart of the village. It is only a short distance from Offa's Dyke and Glyndwr's Way.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

Castle Inn has been welcoming Booking.com guests since Jan 23, 2008

Castle Inn
Nestled in the beautiful Teme Valley the Castle Inn lies on the border of Powys in Wales and Shropshire in England. A stunning stone viaduct lies at the heart of the village and we are only a short distance from Offa’s Dyke and Glyndwr’s Way. We have visitors far and wide from the friendly local community to walkers, cyclists, across the UK and from overseas, it is genuinely a nice part of the world to visit. Not forgetting our guest rooms are separate from the main pub area ensuring a good nights sleep. BAR AND RESTAURANT November to February ~ Wednesday to Saturday 6-11pm and Sunday 12-5pm March to October ~ Monday to Saturday 6-11pm and Sunday 12-2:30pm then 6-11pm Food and Drinks are available for residents 7 days a week, please let us know if you plan to dine with us. If you or anyone you have had contact with anyone who has tested positive please do not visit us until its safe to do so. Sanitizer stations are in place at the front and rear of the building. Smoking area is now located in the beer garden.
A family run business that have just moved in to the area in August 2017. We aim to treat all the staff and customer like one of our family.
One of the most beautiful parts of Britain, untouched and a little forgotten, and the local people as really friendly.
