Lion Royal Hotel

Great Hotel & Bar with log burner

Great hotel and perfect location for trail riding in Wales. Jane was first class in making sure we were fed watered for our day ahead. If you want to ride in Wales here is a perfect place to get your head down!

Ignore any negative posts, I have stayed here on numerous occasions, yes the beds in the old days were bad and we once even brought our own sausages but I and the rest of the biking crew absolutely love the place. Mary was a legend, she was like you're own grandma. There is not another hotel in the entire world that offers the hospitality I've had here. Took my young son Tom one year and have extremely fond memories of sitting in the living room with Mary, fire going, her beautiful dog beside her, she couldn't have been more lovely to us, asking my son where he'd been and offering up ideas for the following day. On motorbike trips we'd come home soaked after a good day out, we'd all strip off outside, hand her our kit which she would put in her toasty warm drying room, all of it would be bone dry in the morning ready for another soaking. Add to this the proximity of the lion Royal to all the action, motorbiking, biking around the reservoirs, pony trekking. Its about making your own fun not having a tv in your room like some saddo on here posted. I am the leader and the judge and I give this place my royal seal of approval and I'm sure Mary will be written in God's book of life.

Excellent breakfast, friendly staff, covered off street parking for bikes. Room decor is dated but prices are reasonable so, unless you like to spend time admiring your hotel room, this place is well worth considering.

Absolutely brilliant, we always stay at the Lion Royal when trail riding, it is absolutely perfect and the staff are awesome.

This weekend just gone nine of us stayed at the Lion Royal Hotel, fondly known as Scary Mary's!
Mary passed away fairly recently leaving the hotel to her son William & his lovely manager wife Jane. The hotel is now in a restoration phase, with a big injection of customer love and care. Jane is taking constructive comments on board, so no more dog's & dog poo in the court yard, cold rooms, hospital bed or beds that sink in the middle. Giving the hotel a really great feeling. What Jane needs now s a lot of trail riders to come and stay so she can carry on improving the old place! I'm looking forward to my next visit.
p.s
Highly recommend Jane's trail guide, local farmer David who's skills and knowledge are second to none.
