Lock in a great price for Lion Hotel – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

We had a lovely room at the front of this Victorian pub, overlooking the meadow beyond. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything required. Our hosts and their patrons were friendly and welcoming and, as per the information provided, there was plenty of conversation over breakfast.

Jo, United Kingdom

Very friendly staff, Excellent breakfast, Great facilities.

Christine, United Kingdom

Immaculately clean room, comfy bed, spotlessly clean shower room, great selection of tea and coffee and a nice china cup. Always made to feel welcome, great breakfast, nice bar area with great evening meals, would definitely recommend the curry. One of my favourite places in stay in Powys.

Kimberley, United Kingdom

Really light and spacious room, nice extras and very friendly host. Food really excellent - highly recommend the curries. Struggled a little with the size of the shower but otherwise a really nice bathroom. Thought put into the items left to use. In my room you could hear the guests in the pub downstairs but thats to be expected. I would recommend

Sara, United Kingdom

20 points for the staff and the cooking - if possible

Andreas, Austria

This is a lovely place to stay at, you are welcomed by great hosts from the minute you arrive to when you leave. As a lone traveller I would definitely recommend it to others. The bar is reasonable, evening meals of great quality and breakfast is excellent. The rooms are well appointed, bed comfy and spotless. Superb selection of tea, coffee in bedroom along with squash & water. Bathroom has lovely extras you don't see in many places. The view from the room was amazing, I will definitely be returning.

Kimberley, United Kingdom

First time I have stayed at the Red Lion and I would highly recommend it. They just went the extra mile for your comfort with lovely touches in the room, toiletries, bottled water and an array of tea/coffe/chocolate drinks. The breakfast was lovely as was the curry for dinner.

Andrea, United Kingdom

Good breakfast. Comfortable bed. Use of sitting room in annexe

Winefrede, United Kingdom

I really enjoyed my stay here..friendly,comfortable,fantastic scenery I will definitely come back & stay here..loved it

Audrey, Ireland

We spent a lovely couple of days here and were made to feel very much at home. Room was tidy and comfortable. Early breakfast (7am) was no problem at all, not even on a Sunday. Excellent choice of cooked breakfasts. Evening meals (curries!) were fine as well. Lively pub with friendly locals. Really gives the place its character. Lovely views over the valley. Convenient location for trips in Mid and South Wales on the motorbike. Hope we'll be back soon.
