The Wynnstay

A beautiful 2 night stay with walking companions. Delicious food enjoyed by vegetarians and carnivores...hats off to the chef...and friendly, welcoming staff who truly could not do enough to accommodate our needs, with 3 dogs and a mixture of solo travellers and couples. It is an older building with quirks and character but the staff must take credit for making a retuen visit even more enjoyable. Diolch i chi.

Very old and quaint. Floorboards very uneven so no good for anybody unsteady on their feet!! Only bad thing to say about room is the TV was tiny but had 2 winged back chairs to sit in, so wasn't that bad. Meals were excellent and very good service. All in all well recommended.

Machynlleth is a good meeting place for family and friends. The roast lunch at The Wynnstay was excellent, every course was nicely made, presented and tasted delicious. The staff were great - efficient and friendly. A fire blazing away added to the welcome. It is also very good value. Highly recommend

I was last In Machynlleth in 1956 some 68 years ago with my father and brother, us 2 boys were at the local boarding school, our dad staying at The White Lion. Machynlleth and the Wynnstay have both seen better days and are typical candidates for huge doses of “levelling up” Yes of course the Wynnstay building plainly shows its age but full credit to the owners and staff for making the most of what is there, everywhere is clean and tidy , there are attempts to add more comfortable and relaxing areas and whilst the dinning area was in the large corridor between the front door and the kitchen at the back, the chef and his team can certainly cook and serve tasty and satisfying evening meals. The game pate certainly smelled and tasted of game, accompanied by a good jelly and the blade of venison and pork dish were beautifully casseroled to “melt in the mouth” satisfaction. Beef steaks were also of good quality, all accompanied by a small but well priced and appropriate wine selection, staff friendly and attentive; you can see why many locals were dinning out there on both our night’s stays. The White Lion has to be criticised for its so called “light bites” There is nothing “light”about them !! Huge chunks of bread and home cooked ham, accompanied by a significant portion of chips ; on our second visit one portion between two was more than sufficient. So give Machynlleth a go, it can feed and look after you with care and satisfaction and nearby you can visit the beautiful chapel where the Welsh poet RS Thomas was heard on many a Sunday by 2 small boys

Just back from a wonderful 2 night stay here; the staff are the heart and soul of this place and really made our stay special. Food was seasonal and delicious. Housekeeping very good and beds comfortable. I can heartily recommend this hotel.

We are currently staying for the fourth time at The Wynnstay Hotel, so it will be apparent that we have enjoyed coming here in the past. Unfortunately, the hotel has gone downhill since our last visit in March of last year. and we understand that it is in the course of being sold. Last night we were presented with a wine list offering five reds. The first three were no longer available - the final two were £38 and £55. Later in the evening, we learned that we could have had a cabinet sauvignon at £24 which, tonight, we found very acceptable - Why would any hotel try to pull a trick like that? They lost a sale last night, and we had to stomach water. Never have we had such an embarrassment at this hotel. The young staff are also naive, whereas the staff as recently as last March were all so friendly. It was a pleasure coming here, and we discussed wines with the owner, an expert on wines, who is apparently here but, has yet to show his face. This has been a grave disappointment to us as Machynlleth is only 90 minutes from our home and we frequently come to Aberystwyth to collect fresh fish from Jonah's, as there are no fishmongers down our way anymore. This is a lovely part of the world and it would be a shame if this hotel were to fall further. It was very well managed, but clearly, not at present. One could suggest bringing in a M/s Toplis, the manager of the Lion Hotel in Criccieth. I am sure that she would sort things out and, bring the Wynnstay back to scratch.

Booked an hour before we arrived as driving back from London to North Wales. Our superior room was lovely and spacious and very comfortable. Food both for dinner and breakfast was good. The staff were all warm and welcoming, We would stay again

The hotel is old and interesting, very comfortable room, plus a lovely bed. I was walking the coastal path, so needed a good rest before dinner. Food was pretty good, small but variety menu. Staff first class, couldn't do enough to please. The experience was like going back to the times I liked best, I wll be back.

Lovely staff, really helpful, great atmosphere, food really good, great prices , clean n tidy, bedrooms . Really nice breakfast, cooked to perfection, well done everyone. 👏👏 Please put a sign up to say car park before you reach the hotel, missed this road, spent another 15 minutes being redirected to the hotel again, very annoying and time consuming , What does it take to put a sign up??? re car park this way Please think about us that stay in your hotel. Apart from that perfect
