Neuadd Arms Hotel
Located in the center of Llanwrtyd Wells, the Neuadd Arms Hotel has stood for over 155 years. The hotel is 85 km from Swansea and is positioned on the A483 road, halfway between Builth Wells and Llandovery. It features a restaurant, bar, terrace, and free WiFi. The hotel maintains its 19th-century character with open log fires in the lounge and public bars. The property offers free private parking.
Rooms
The hotel has 20 rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom that includes a bath or shower. All rooms provide tea and coffee-making facilities and freeview TV. Rooms have individual decorations and vintage furniture. Room options include double, single, twin, and twin/double rooms. Each room has heating, an electric kettle, and carpeted floors.
Dining and Drinks
The hotel features a restaurant that serves traditional food. A range of curries is available. The Bell Bar includes the original servants' bells, and there is a lounge bar. The bars serve Real Ales, brewed on the premises from malts sourced from Warminster Maltings in Wiltshire. The beers include premium ale and flavors such as the Cambrian Mountain ale, brewed for the Cambrian Mountains initiative inspired by HRH The Prince of Wales.
Things to Do
The hotel is in the Cambrian Mountains. The area provides activities such as green events (running, walking, cycling, horse riding), bog snorkelling, stone skimming, and chariot racing. The hotel has an association with Screaming Lord Sutch, and memorabilia is displayed around the hotel. Each year, starting from the Neuadd Arms, a short walk at 10:30 PM involves carrying flaming torches and enacting the Mari Lwyd tradition, with rhymes and songs until invited in for food and drink.
Services
Neuadd Arms provides facilities, including motor bike storage in the Gingerbread House, electric bike hire, electric car charging points, and a coin-operated launderette. Electric bikes are available for hire from Llanwrtyd Wheels Electric Bike Hire, run from the hotel. There are two Dragon electric car charging points in the Zion Street car park, behind the hotel. The hotel has a lounge with books and jigsaw puzzles. The hotel is the Official Monster Raving Loony Party Headquarters.
“I found the atmosphere genuinely welcoming, partly thanks to the resident collie, Winston, who seems to hold court in the old-fashioned bar. Breakfast stood out, featuring good-quality ingredients that gave a strong start to the day. It's the kind of place where the staff seem happy to help, adding to the charm of a stay right on the town square.”
