to get started.

Hard 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.

Andre, Canada

It 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]

Nigel, United Kingdom

Patrick, United Kingdom

Great breakfast every morning with great friendly staff.

Bryan, United States of America

Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff made our rainy stay warm. Good options for pub. Breakfast was quite good, and dinner was delicious in their restaurant. Came back to the pub for dessert and it had been taken out of the window. Staff member happily offered to go get whatever we wanted. Room was comfortable, nice warm robes and slippers are provided. Shower was good and amenities nice. Wifi was strong.

Theresa, United States of America

Everything was high quality and the staff went the extra mile to fully satisfy any need I had

Diane, United States of America

The location was especially good for us. We could walk to the steam railway station where we were taking a ride. Also the hotel had a very ambient bar and coffee lounge area.

Margretora, United States of America

It is an old building but modern decor and amenities, every need is thought out and all guest comforts are thought of.

Emma, Ireland

Staff very friendly and helpful. The Room was spotlessly clean and there was Sky sports on the TV which was a bonus. Free Wi-Fi was excellent. Nice comfortable seats to relax in bar area.

An Inside Look at Royal Oak Hotel

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.
