Top Knighton Hotel Reviews
The Dragon Hotel
"All staff were extremely helpful and friendly in all areas of the hotel. Unfortunately there was no working radiators on the top floor and the room was cold. There was a small electric fan heater in the room which we cleaned prior to as it it was covered in dust. My fault but I hadnt realised that there wasn't a proper shower in a room described as a premium. The kettle was dirty with coffee stains on the outside and generally appeared old. I wasn't happy to use it until I cleaned it. Food and drinks all excellent."
The Mount Inn
"This was my third time at The Mount Inn, as always a great place to stay. Very friendly staff and great food and accommodation. Ideally located to reach anywhere in Wales with fabulous countryside only minutes away."
England's Gate and Coachhouse
"The room was very clean and comfortable with a good size en-suite. The self-serve continental breakfast is always plentiful and fresh. The location is perfect for exploring the local area and the bonus is the pub with local cider and excellent food options for vegetarians and meat lovers alike. This is our third visit so far this year and we will definitely be back."
The Lowfield Inn
"For us, just a one-night stay, but we arrived about 4pm on a Sunday afternoon, to find this is an extremely popular venue for Sunday lunches. The menu continued into the evening and we were able to see why it's so popular. A great meal, and then a lovely cooked breakfast the next morning. The room, facilities and bed were all comfortable and all in all, we had made a good choice in a quiet rural location."
The Salwey Arms
"The premises is on a busy crossroads with an all night filling station adjacent to our bedroom. Whilst appreciating that they can do nothing about their location it might help to know these matters in case people are disturbed by noise in the night. There was no shower and only a bath which is not our preference. The decor in the restaurant was tired and in need of redecoration but otherwise the staff were very helpful and the food and drink good."
The Burton Hotel and Cloud Nine
"Weโre walking the Herefordshire Trail and stayed here for one night. I was a good choice. A lovely welcome. We had a room which was clean and comfortable with plenty of room to walk around. Food in the evening was good, with a good menu choice. Breakfast was excellent a good menu to choose from. All the staff were great. We would stay again if in Kington"
The Castle Hotel
"Most staff very friendly and helpful, especially the staff who helped with the dog and gave advice where to walk!"
The lion hotel
"The art is excellent The bathroom excellent The dinner good The breakfast ok The bed good"
Llangoed Hall
"We were delighted to find we were staying in a stately home worthy of Downton Abbey. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. Wonderful spaces for the guest with fireplaces and comfortable chairs in beautifully coordinated fabrics, as you'd expect from the previous home of Laura Ashleys family, (although subtley not massively floral). The restaurent was lovely and the food superb. Staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds and views over the Brecon Beacons was lovely, with lots of pubs nearby, and other restaurents in nearby Brecon. Our room had a confortable 4 poster bed and lovely ensuite with a seperate shower and Bath, and a great view. It was one floor up and the stairs were wide and not steep so I managed with my stick. We were able to park right out the front door in the big turning circle. Overall it could not have been better!"
