Brigands Inn

I went with 4 friends & my wife. I know I was a bit fussy but I didn't like the selection of vegetables so I asked for some mashed potatoes & was totally disgusted that they charged me £3.00 extra for the potatoes. I certainly won't be going back. How can you have the nerve to charge that when the total bill for 7 of us was about £150.00. Very greedy. I have been here on a couple of occasions & have been pleased with the food & the service, but this was a let down & won't be visiting again.

We had two nights at The Brigands Inn and had a truly lovely time. The hotel is well situated for walks, birdwatching and spotting low flying military aircraft (yes really!!!). There are lots of attractions within a short drive and the hotel is just inside the National Park. Also, Machynlleth is only a few miles away. The Inn has real age but has been sympathetically renovated to a high standard. Rooms were full of character and comfortable. The food was outstanding and plentiful. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. My only slight niggle was the WiFi which proved to be a little tricky to connect to but hey, not a huge concern. We will definitely return for another stay. Thank you Brigands! 😊👍🏻

Lovely place to stay. Lots of character, comfortable room, well furnished. Great location with plenty of parking. Great views and walls all round. Great place to break journey futlrrher north. The team running it were friendly and helpful. Dinner was really good as was breakfast on the morning.

I got to the Brigands later than planned, thankfully I'd called ahead to find out what time the kitchen closed, it looked like I was going to miss out on an evening meal. When I got there the head chef was at the bar waiting, she'd stayed on until I got there, she said she wasn't going to let me starve, within minutes she'd rustled me up a great ham, eggs, chips and peas, it was a lovely gesture and really appreciated. On top of that the food and drink prices were reasonable too. It was my first experience using Britstops, and thanks to the Brigand it was a five star experience. Thank you so much.

This is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in, we stayed overnight on our way to Anglesey, everything is spotless and the staff are so friendly, our room did not have a walk in shower it was a shower over the bath and being an older couple we were a bit nervous about slipping, we decided to book for the night a week later on our way home from Anglesey, Sue the owner gave us a room with a walk in shower this time and the room is amazing, it’s very large with a sofa and chairs and a king size bed, the bathroom is beautiful with a slipper bath and walk in shower, I recommend room 8, dogs are made very welcome by all the staff and are allowed in the dining room with you, we would like to thank Sue and all her staff for everything, she has a great team.

Lovely getaway for a break and change of scenery. Room was delightful and well equipped. We booked dinner on arrival and although it was very nice, I found the portion size to be small and therefore the main course to be overpriced. The treacle pudding was to die for and I would definitely recommend! Breakfast was amazing. I love fruit for breakfast but hotels often disappoint with the quality. The quality of everything was perfect. The staff throughout were very friendly, helpful and welcoming.

Superb place to stay for the Shooting Estate next door - Food excellent - Owners so polite and great advice and all staff so kind and everything done for you - nothing too much trouble at all - Would we recommend - oh yes 100 per cent - would we stay again - oh yes 100 percent - will we go back - most definitely - the breakfast was amazing and so quickly done and we loved it - thank you so much for the lovely weekend

We had dinner here recently and it was great! Friendly, helpful staff and the food was delicious. It's also really cosy and warm on a cold and wet January evening! We will definitely return if we are ever in the area again.

Our first impressions of the Brigands Inn were good as we drove into the ample car park and took in the view of the surrounding hills. Check in was nice and painless as we entered through the rear door and immediately received a friendly greeting from the desk located there. The Inn is a lovely, old, seemingly never ending series of period, classy rooms and walkways. We really did feel like we'd gone back in time. We were given room 4, which was nicely decorated with exposed wooden beams and was a good size. There were plenty of plug sockets, a really helpful multi-USB plug adaptor and a gun safe, a first for us! The bed was large and comfy. The bathroom as adequate, but could do with a slight update, the shower, however was warm and powerful. We enjoyed a couple of good nights sleep here, even with the window open, there was little noise. We ate several times at the Inn, breakfast and dinner. All dishes were excellent. The standout for me was the Harissa & Lime Prawn cocktail, a really tasty and new take on a classic starter. Breakfast is served from 8:00AM, which allowed us an early enough start to head to the Mach Loop. Service at the bar was always quick and friendly, I made full use of their stock of Butty Bach beer, highly recommended ale ! I can't imagine you can do much better than the Brigands if staying in the area. We will return !
