United KingdomThe staff were fantastic, unfortunately there was no hot water from shower due to boiler fault so"Bonus" they moved us into the luxurious room, Chris and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make our stay a very pleasant one. We will definitely be back
United KingdomLovely central location, the car park was a little difficult to find due to the one-way system and the road works. Great breakfast selection and very friendly attentive staff.
United KingdomThe staff were welcoming and accommodating of my late arrival. The room was well appointed and had all that I needed. The breakfast had a good selection to choose from.
United KingdomThe breakfast was excellent with plenty to choose from, and the staff very obliging and helpful.
United KingdomWe had a superior room which was Well proportioned and immaculately clean. It was higher in the building so a Dyson fan had been provided to combat the heat which was a very welcome touch. The staff were extremely friendly. Breakfast was delicious, well stocked and kept clean and tidy which can often be a problem with buffet style cooked breakfasts.
United KingdomExcellent dinner and breakfast service! Bathrooms were amazing.
United States of AmericaHard to know where to start, but it is important to start with saying the staff of the hotel, from the Managers (Chris & Lucy) all the way to the restaurant or front-desk staff were kind, interesting, attentive to our needs, engaging and well informed about the region and things to see & do. Then there is the food...OMG...have to have their « 19 hours braised beef » or fish & chips again and the breakfast was great and the treats.... then the room was very comfortable and well appointed, WiFi works very well... hotel is in the center of everything. A totally enjoyable place to stay. We will be back.
CanadaIt was lovely and warm. The breakfast was great, we loved the buffet style of help yourself. Loved the quirky layout of the hotel corridors. Ideally situated for our reason for visiting. [family party]

The Royal Oak Hotel, Eatery & Coffee House has Grade II listed status as the building has a great deal of history dating back to the 18th Century. The hotel also features a chimney stack with stone that came from an abbey that once stood in Pool Quay, which dates back to Elizabethan times. The Hotel was formerly the manor house of the Earl of Powis until 1927 when it became a coaching inn. Originally the hotel lay in the grounds of nearby Powis Castle and during its existence this beautiful Georgian building has welcomed many travellers through its doors. Whilst operating as a coaching inn on the main route to the west coast of Wales, our function suite - the Powis Suite - was used as a stables with its own Ostler. More recently in 2010 The Royal Oak Hotel has had the pleasure of welcoming one of the most prestigious guests that the world can welcome, Her Majesty the Queen, when she visited Welshpool to open its new indoor cattle market. Her Majesty stopped in to have lunch in our restaurant at The Royal Oak Hotel.
