Reviews of Castle Inn

We liked the model of half B&B/ half pub. It led to a friendly atmosphere conducive to chatting to fellow guests. Non-residents can use the restaurant a couple of days a week and we could see that this retained the old pub as a community resource - that seemed a great way to keep the benefits of a local pub while keeping it manageable to run as a couple. Comfortable room with Netflix. Authentic Thai food was delicious (traditional English also available). We could keep our bikes in the function room overnight.

Fresh milk in the room for tea/coffee would have earned 10/10

A warm welcome and delicious evening meal on arrival. A cosy, clean room in a location that was perfect starting point for exploring the Welsh valleys.

Breakfast was ample and tasty, our evening meal there was delicious (all home cooking), and the location was beautiful in the heart of the lovely Welsh countryside. This is an excellent stay for hikers, cyclists or those just wishing to be in this beautiful location.

Breakfast excellent and host and staff very helpful and friendly

This is an ideal location for those walking Offas Dyke Path. Although slightly outside Knighton and off the direct path, it is easy to route back onto it. This is esstionally a pub that has changed to primarily focus on B&B. Don't let that put you off as a guest we felt in a pub, and the host was perfect. The food was excellent and the room was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend it, and it offers excellent value for money.

Very comfortable and clean room, we were the only guests on the first night of our 2 night stay but we were made to feel v welcome by Ying (owner & chef) She was as amazing and cooked delicious Thai food. Breakfast were very good and the second night the bar was open to the public and there were many other appreciative customers. A splendid place in a quiet village with so ouch in the doorstep in rural Wales. Even when we were the only guests eating in felt very homely and Ying was just an amazing host.

It was at the higher end of the expected price range but actually you can see that prices have risen and it impacts smaller businesses disproportionately so we do understand that. Overall it’s definitely worth it!!!

Breakfast was excellent. Lots of choice, cereals, cooked breakfast and pastries. Room was very comfortable. Water, coffee and tea making facilities in the room. Separate entrance to the room.

Spotlessly clean. Fabulous host. Great food.

Tight squeeze between beds. Slightly noisy from adjacent room (e.g. drawers opening, doors closing)

Lovely location, premises very clean and facilities great

Can’t fault our stay

The location for us was perfect for an 9:00 start at the Phil Price Rally School a 15 minute drive away - even taking in a superb 'home-cooked' full English breakfast 😋. Comfortable beds, Ying was a very pleasant and chatty hostess, beautiful surroundings, though I guess the wall to wall blue skies made a difference! Evening dinner in the restaurant was also excellent in pub-style surroundings.

Friendly courteous staff, enjoyed an excellent Tie evening meal.

Fantastic food and lovely hosts

The breakfast was lovely and the location was ideal as I was attending the phil price rally school, also the main meals in the evening were very nice with a fantastic choice of either Thai or pie.
