Gwystre Country Inn in Powys

Lovely coffee ,will return to try the breakfast.Clean and tidy well worth a visit. Good breakfast menu at a very reasonable price.

Its like travelling back in time. A good thing really, the decor s of an era when you had warm welcoming pubs. The host was very nice as was the cheff. The food was a great sucess although I think my batter was beer batter and a little bitter. Will return, thanks.

Lovely food at a good price plenty of choice and the meat was all moist really friendly staff and made the kids feel especially welcome a big thumbs up from us all

We went for a family Sunday lunch 8 adults and 2small children we were shown to our table which was quite crammed into space while sorting out seating arrangements we asked to order drinks but told to sit down first before taking order. There was a lot of tanks behind bar with insects in not sure on if suitable in restaurant. But on the plus side we had Sunday carvery and none of us could fault the food plenty of choice and loads of vegetables. We were told on arrival because little one was in high chair no charge for food but because she had a plate she was charged ?????. Probably would not go again but like I said food good so make up your own mind

although the pub dinning area was empty we were put in a tight corner by the door in the lower part of the dinning area also when the menu camethere was not a lot of to choose we had to have fish and chips not what we expected for a night out we wanted better food than that it was a week day eve so maybe they do not offer much sunday meals there are ok though

Don't expect fine dining but do expect a great welcome and very reasonable prices. Excellent beer. They also do takeaway pizza (not tried).

we stayed locally and decided to come here as it was nearest pub, when we got there it looked a little desolate but as soon as we entered we were welcomed with open arms. the atmosphere was calming and the food fabulous. the children had pizzas and my wife and I had steak which was cooked perfectly. will definitely go again.

We were staying locally and were recommended this pub as a good place to eat. We were not disappointed and ate here three times during our 10 day stay. The food is simple reasonably priced and served by attentive staff. We'll definitely return on our next visit to the area.

Service was spot on. Friendly calm atmosphere, everybody was polite and helpful. The landlord and landlady are very friendly and very accommodating. Can't ask for better, will use the restaurant and accommodation when I'm next in the area.

Having eaten here on numerous occasions over the last 10 years, we experienced varying standards of both food and service. Teresa and Dave have taken over since February 2017 and seem to have made a variety of improvements, including employing Paul as Barman and "front of house". Paul was so welcoming and professional when he was faced with our group of 10 at lunchtime. We decided to eat from a special lunch menu priced at £4.95 per head plus a lovely range of proper puds priced at £3.50. All really enjoyed our pub meals of faggots, sausages, battered cod or chilli and received very attentive service. One of our party has a special dietary requirement that was catered for and we ate in bright, welcoming surroundings. We shall look forward to our next group lunch together. I noticed that they also run themed evenings such as Paella nights and a special Friday night Steak/Fish supper for two, costing £20.00 total and includes a bottle of House Wine!

El Gwystre reabrió tras una reforma y un nuevo equipo. La nueva gente parece bien, dieron a conocer un poco más de ellos todavía. Fuimos a probar la comida una noche entre semana, ambos teníamos carne, tamaño raro, y me pareció muy agradable, aunque era un poco complicado Jans. Bueno ver 2 cervezas en el bar, los eternos Rev James y un invitado que en ese momento era Otter amargo. Tuve el Rev, que era muy bonito. La decoración es un poco brillante y diferente, pero te acostumbras a que con el tiempo, sin embargo, no me gusta la introducción de una mesa de billar y una televisión en el pub, no el tipo de pub para ese tipo de cosas. No dejen de ir.

Service very slow, ordered a gluten free dessert, only to be told after I had eaten it that is was not gluten free after all. The waitress was very apologetic and upset but no word from the owner or offer of refund. Ok being coeliac this will mean a bad stomach for a few days, but if someone had a bad allergy to something it could be far more serious.

Wasn't open at lunchtime on Tuesday 9 August 2016 in spite of A board declaring food available from12.00 as well as website promising seven day opening lunch and evening. Very disappointed to find door locked and no apology sign.

Me and my girlfriend decided to stop in here on our way back from Pembrokeshire on our way home and it was a brilliant find. We had our dog with us so we weren't allowed inside, however it was warm enough outside so we just sat in the smoking area where there were also tables. With it being a sunday, the only thing on offer was a sunday lunch or a broccoli bake so we ordered one of each. The broccoli bake was out of this world! I would consider driving the 2 hours back just to eat it again. The sunday lunch was also amazing and every single thing on the place was really tasty and good value for money. The pub itself just looks like your standard traditional pub but the food was so much more! Plus, the staff were all lovely which always adds to the service. Definitely recommend this place!

This place was always my dad's favourite place and every time we visited we went here for Sunday Lunch. Home cooked and plenty of it and well within any budget. The menu is vast, service is good - possibly need to book as it's always full. My dad has since passed on but we still visit frequently with my Step - mum and partner, not once have we had a bad meal. If you are ever around Mid Wales Llandrindod area - go here you will not be disappointed

We eat here as often as we can. The food is always amazing and the welcome is warm. Sunday lunch is fantastic. Linda is a fabulous cook and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend the Gwystre to anyone. My brother in law stayed overnight as they do bed and breakfast too and he said it was lovely.

We ate there twice this week. We had two finicky eaters with us; and they were delighted with the menu. The only place in a 20 mile radius of Llandrindod Wells; that served food to suit all. If you plan to eat here; and it is either autumn / winter or early spring; where it is still cold out; call ahead to book table in front of fireplace. We didn't and regretted it. It was chilly. The food is served quickly; and every one(four of us); ate all on our plates; and there were no complaints. They have an extensive menu. They also have an extensive dessert menu. Not every thing is available on the dessert menu. The 1st night we ate there; they had a pavlova dessert; BUT on the next night; it was gone. So, no sweet on night two! The first night; the server was a a funny; older guy; who was a joker. The second time we atr there; there was a younger guy; who was cheerful and smiled alot.

We had a bar snack at the Gwystre and it was lovely. We could not fault the service or the food. The pub has pleanty of character and definetly worth a drive out. I had always heard good things about the food here and I wasn't disappointed.

Eat here every week good pub food lots to pick from and a good Sunday roast, roast only Sunday dinner times, must say the food and drinks are not over price at all but I guess that why it can be very busy on times, not going to find better in this area for good pub food

Stopped here on a Friday evening. Pub was very busy, but the service was polite and speedy. The menu included standard pub fare but with much much more. The food was much better than could be expected from a country pub and over the three courses that we enjoyed nothing disappointed. Will make this one of our regular eating places. I was driving so it was not too important that the pub only had one real ale. The place was friendly and the hosts went out of their way to make us welcome and feel comfortable.

Our destination as a group from The Jaguar Enthusiasts Club of West Wales very friendly welcome our host even assisted us with parking our cars. Excellent choice of food for Sunday Lunch my salmon & shrimp fish pie was very tasty (& hot!) I had a soup starter even a choice here rather than the usual 'soup of the day' All our group were happy with their food & the friendly banter (Welsh Rugby) A long run from Mumbles but well worth it. We drove back home along some of the famous Welsh Rally roads to end a good day.

Used to love coming here for an evening meal, although after going for a pre booked meal with a group, finding a dead fly in my food and being told "it's not goi to kill me" etc was not very impressed

Stopped off on way back to Rhayader for a spot of lunch. Saw the sign and drove in. so glad we did athough surprised that it was so quiet. we had scampi and chips in a basket - piping hot, tasty. menu was extensive and the place was clean and well presented. would definintely returnn.

a super little pub serving hot delicious simple food - a small but very varied many caters for all tastes including veggies and little ones

We arrived somewhat late for our booking having got lost a couple of times on the way. (recommend a sat nav!)At first it appeared to be just a very busy locals drinking pub but once inside and we saw the extensive selection on the menu boards we realised that food was also an important part of this pub.It is run by Pete and his wife Linda (their behaviour and the general humour provided a very entertaining evening!)Although the actual dining area is small, you can eat anywhere. The food was first rate and very good value. Considering it was an extremely busy Saturday night the service was prompt.A quirky pub, well worth a visit.

We've been here many times and you always gave a good meal. There's plenty of choice and what you get is piping hot and homemade. The steak pie is great with plenty of meat. The Rev James beer is very well kept. Overall good food at reasonable prices.

This small country pub offers a decent menu at more than reasonable prices. We didn't have to wait too long and it was delicious. Really good value.Good, honest pub grub.
