The best restaurants in Mid Wales

Always have great food when I visit, homemade cakes are delicious, the prices are very reasonable too. I am a support worker and I take the ladies I support here for lunch, and they are always very accommodating. Always a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere too.

I struggle with this review as there is a lot to like, but there was a significant unforgivable issue during our stay. Our room was lovely. Spacious, huge warm bathroom with amazing shower, large bed and beautiful views (a stunning setting). The arrival experience was fine, although I had to return to reception as no milk was delivered as promised. The website says free homemade shortbread but there was no sign of that either. We had booked an evening meal and the choice of food was somewhat limited but what we did choose was very good. The staff seemed to lack some training befitting the ambience of the hotel but not a huge concern. Breakfast was self serve, and the hash browns were greasy and the sausages weren't great in my opinion. The tea was from an insulated jug so was over brewed, and the orange juice was an unusual taste too. Now the issue... The fire alarm went off at 2.15am (these things happen) and we had to evacuate but there were NO STAFF ON SITE! I tried the number on the website but no answer. One of the guests called the fire brigade that arrived in about 30mins and checked the hotel thoroughly and they couldn't contact anyone either. Eventually the all clear was given and we returned to our rooms at 03:15 am. The issue here is no staff, so no roll call or direction. I mentioned this to the manager the following morning and he said that he was in the lodge on the grounds but no alarm went off so he heard nothing, and was eventually contacted by the Fire Brigade and was on site at 03:30 (too late by then). He apologised but did not accept that another guest told us during the incident that someone had been over to the lodge and could here the alarm but nobody answered. It's a very good job there was no fire!! Final point - despite the evening meal food being very good the hotel has a Food Hygiene Rating of 1. Had we known that we would have eaten elsewhere. So - as I said - a mixed review.

Very disappointed, website says they close at 2000 on Sunday. Went to get some fish n chips at 1920 & they were already shut.

We had a bit of a tour round. This was the first pub we visited and we happily came back to it! Very friendly with a warm pleasant atmosphere! The best one!

Absolutely lovely food, good value, highly recommend. Wednesday, curry, rice or naan and a drink for £11.99 between 6 and 8pm. Cannot fault it. Highly recommended. Tillie and Jess are perfect hosts, pub is spotless inside and out there is a lovely seated area to enjoy outside,weather permitting.

Fantastic local pub. Food was amazing both times we went. Really friendly staff and locals!! Highly recommended!!

Just popped in for coffee. Artisans was nearly full with a mix of locals and tourists,a cafe full of quirky decor and a friendly welcome. I ordered a large oat cappuccino and a slice of bara brith. Both arrived at my table within 5 minutes. Delicious bara brith 2 slices and butter on the side..and a large hot satisfying oat cappuccino. I always recommend a visit.

Great singer on when I was there however there was a strange man dancing with a pool cue which made me feel slight uncomfortable, apart from this what a great pub 🤩

We were looking for a good beer whilst in llandidloes and tried the Stag Inn. Modern take on a traditional pub where you can take your own takeaway in to enjoy. The beer was good 2 offerings from Three Tuns a great brewery and 1 from Purple Moose. Friendly welcome based on the one visit recommended!

What a shop! An amazing range of imaginative decor to choose from for your home complemented by a fantastic range of cakes! Wendy is also one of the most creative minds to ever run a shop. If you're in Builth or passing through you MUST drop by or you'll be missing out!! We bought an Angler Fish lamp we didn't know we needed, but clearly did!!

Very tasty breakfast and good coffee, staff are friendly and helpful.

We are from Cardiff staying in Gwbert cottage to celebrate a friends big birthday so I booked a table for 8 for tonight 19th Oct 24 ..I can't highly recommend the Bistro enough , the food was amazing all 8 of us cleared our plates , service was excellent if you find yourself in Gwbert - book At The Flat rock cafe 10/10 *****

Very rude staff. Busy with decorating for Xmas , no care about customers, and at the end after we been asked second time to pay and said we did we been told to “carry on” as “keep walking “ very rude !!!
