Have just returned from our second Christmas Eve/Day stay at this Machynlleth hotel and yet again it did not disappoint. The locally sourced food prepared by charasmatic chef, Gareth, was excellent and was served by very friendly staff under the ever watchful eye of his urbane brother, Paul. Gordon the barman was especially attentive and made sure our wine glasses... More

We came to the Wynnstay for a meeting and had supper afterwards. The food was fantastic- seasonal, incredibly tasty and well presented; of special note was the slow cooked beef with pumpkin gnocchi, the mallard and bacon salad and the treacle cured trout, all served with fresh vegetables and home baked bread. The restaurant is homely and comfortable, our table... More

A reasonable stay at this hotel. Old, creaky floors. Our (small) room was overhead (near) reception and thus a tad noisy. Mattress was terrible but average for the UK. Friendly, helpful staff. More

Pleasant traditional-style hotel with plenty of character that seemed to attract locals in the restaurant as well as travelers (a good thing). Staff was friendly, room was comfortable but if you are a light sleeper and your neighbors are noisy, you may hear them. Fortunately for us, our neighbors retired early, so we enjoyed a good night's sleep. Breakfast was... More

Having had a great stay earlier the same week (July 2011), the receptionist was really rude at checkout, the exchange went something like this: Me: Can I have a VAT receipt please? Receptionist: Handwritten receipt not good enough for you? Me: My company won't accept it for an expense claim Receptionist: Let's kill some more trees Me: (speechless) Had I... More

Beautiful food, beautifully cooked, presented and served - if this is what you like then this is the place for you. We called in on a quiet Tuesday and were given a free choice of all tables in the dining room. No-one else joined us for lunch but even if the place had become fully occupied there was still plenty... More

The first thing to point out about staying at the Wynnstay is that you absolutely must make it down for breakfast if you can. The cooked breakfast, with all meat locally-sourced, was unequivocally the best I've tasted. Dinner too is very much worth having - the meals are not cheap (around £6 for a starter, £16 for the main) but... More
