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.

Great staff, poor room

The photos of the rooms look good but the rooms were very small and cramped with an overall “grubby” feel. The staff were really friendly but they were let down by the room.

From the owners to all of their staff they were all very welcoming and friendly. Food was excellent value. Our room was good adequate for what we wanted as we were visiting the Royal Welsh show so not in our room very much. Bedding was very clean.

Great location to explore Elan Valley.

The perfect location to explore the valley. The team were friendly and helpful. The accommodation needs updating is in a pub, so not great if you go to bed early as it can be a bit noisy, however, if you enjoy a drink and good food until closing time then it's perfect. The food served in the pub was delicious.

Fantastic pub with all the charms required. Staff were lovely and friendly and I had one of the best evening meals I have ever had here! Great location close to the Elan valley, quirky little shops and everything you could need for a lovely night away. Downside, there is only pay and display parking a street away & breakfast is served in the bistro also a street away. The rooms are basic and up a flight of stairs but I would still recommend a stay here.

Nice gem of a place and food very good

Staff absolutely fantastic - room was hot due to radiator on all the time and though turned off, was still on. Opened a window that helped and there was a fan in the room so bearable. Had requested double but got a twin - wasn't that fussed so didn't bother asking if could change. Overall would recommend for sure - location great.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
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.

There was no parking at The Crown Inn, which wasn't highlighted when making the booking. There was no parking nearby, so we had to park on the street, several minutes walk away The room was small, the ensuite bathroom was tiny, it wasn't clean. The rooms were in a separate building, accessed by steep external, open backed steps, which were unsafe and icy in the morning, when we left. We had booked to stay with our dog and were greeted on arrival by a staff member who said 'Oh, he's a big dog, don't think he'll fit in the room!' We had requested a table, in advance, for 7:30pm, via email and were told on arrival that they didn't have the message and had no tables until 8:00pm. In the end we were able to locate a table that was vacated around 7pm and sit there. The food was prepared in advance, and had obviously been hanging around for a while and wasn't very nice.
