Bit spit and sawdust but good lunchtime pub. Always various real ales on and good bar eals. Probably wouldn't want to stay over night but overall a nice pub. Landlord and landlady very welcoming

Considered by some as a good real ale pub, only wish they had Waen brewery ales on, by far the best local beer and just round the corner. Still, nice old pub, but shame they don't do food any more. Atmosphere not as good as it used to be and locals at knocking off work time are pretty much the most unfriendly out of any pubs I go in in the area. Still a proper pub and a good Sunday lunchtime place to drink..

What a difference since being taken over! Really good range of real ales, and at last I've found another local that serves Waen ales. I gather from the new manager that they are having a house brew done for them by the Waen, will look forward to that! Good food from the chef at lunch in the bar. Refurb beginning soon too

Great 'old fashioned' pub with real ales , kept really well. Particularly like to see local ale on from a new micro in powys Waen brewery which was very popular and really enjoyable. Thoroughly recommend both the pub and the beer!

I think LUCFEB is talking about a different pub as the manageress is definitely NOT called Margaret!!! It's a lovely pub/hotel and very professionally run, good service great beers! Like Waen Festival Landmark and Big Nev's.
