The White Lion did a great job of looking after us volunteer stewards during the Machynlleth Comedy Festival in 2023. The pub laid on a spread to us when we first arrived. This was hearty fayre and had a number of options. We had a nice couple of drinks in the back room and I could tell that they valued the festival. The staff were always friendly when I popped in for a beer during the event. There was a good range of real ales. The customers were great as well, there was always someone to talk to about football or cycling or indeed, the festival that was going on! There is a great beer garden with views of the mountains along with a cosy interior complete with fireside. I didn’t see the rooms but one of the acts said that she was staying there and she said that it was a nice place to stay. I know that the pub sponsor one of the stages so it’s great to see that they appreciate the value of the comedy festival and what it does for the town and the community.
We can for the food and was not disappointed. Delicious! And a good amount too. Dog friendly as well, there is a seating area in the back which they allow for this which was fine by us. Seems to have a good atmosphere, feels like a proper local.
Our family of 5 ate our evening meal here and had an enjoyable experience. Good selection of drinks and a varied menu to suit all tastes. The food was hot and the portions were generous. I enjoyed and would recommend the ribs which were tender and accompanied with yummy sweet potato fries. The burgers were good and hunters chicken had lots of BBQ sauce, but perhaps a little too much cheese! Desserts were also yummy. All in all good value and friendly service.
Central location in town - handy for the railway station and the restaurant we were dining at. Room was clean, bathroom looked like it had recently been renewed, loads of charging points around the room and car parking was free - what’s not to like? Didn’t have any food but the beer was good and all staff were very helpful.
Generally pretty good. Ample parking. Food available all day. Beer was nice. We had 2 different rooms and one had been refurbished nicely and the other was a bit old. Mostly quiet. We had an issue with pricing through our booking agent, no fault of the hotel, yet they compensated us, so grateful for the kindness.
