Crown Inn

We needed a place to stop for just one night and the Crown Inn was functional and convenient. We had Room 2 in the courtyard annex. Straightforward and friendly check-in, a small and clean double room (ensuite, but no soap or shower gel, take your own!), comfortable and warm bed, tea/coffee making facilities and a TV. The only problem wasn't of the Crown's doing: it was the pub-pretending-to-be-a-nightclub opposite (it was Saturday night). The street noise itself wasn't too bad, but the thump of the music was two notches too high on the thumpometer. When you can feel the vibrations in the pub across the road, you have to wonder what the locals make of it each week. Perfectly quiet location when the nightclub finally closed. Only 3 stars as a result; wouldn't stay here again over a weekend, but other times probably a great option.

We've just had the most delicious Sunday Roast dinner. I had beef and my partner had the belly pork together with all the vegetables and Yorkshire puddings. We followed up with roulade/cheesecake. The service was superb, atmosphere was warm and friendly and we are definitely looking forward to visiting again.

Could be better In need of decorating or a spruce up. There was mold on the walls and ceiling. Wouldn't take much to make it a really nice room to stay in.

Really lovely Inn full of character. Lovely staff and easy check in. Room was clean, comfortable and lots of character. Right in the middle of Rhayader so a nice walk in the evening. Would stay again and recommend 😃

On arrival at 8.30pm we were told that we could not get a meal as the kitchen was overworked with a large table. This despite the last food order time of 9.00pm. We were informed that if we had booked a table then they would have served us!! Not sure what difference a booked table would have made to an overworked kitchen. Also very noisy street until half past midnight. Otherwise facilities average for money.

Unfortunately did not stay here, was in the elan hotel around the corner but went here for a meal on the Saturday night after having an awful lunch in the elan. Meal and service was excellent , varied menu and the food was reasonably priced, it was very busy but we were seated and served without having to wait long.
