We dined here one evening with friends and the food was sumptuous. A haven of sophistication without pretension in this rural corner of Wales. The journey from Presteigne to Builth Wells across the hills is a route worth repeating but take care you get the right turning to the restaurant since it is slightly off the newly built main road.

Fantastic food, beautifully decorated and comfortable rooms with wonderful personal service - we couldn't have wished for more. More

This place is an utter gem! My partner discovered The Drawing Room via the Mr & Mrs Smith website and obtained a fantastic midweek deal. As part of that deal we had to dine in the restaurant for both nights. I can honestly say that this was the best thing to happen to us! We were the only couple in... More

My husband and I stayed here for the second time in March and cannot wait to go back again! The rooms are beautiful, the food is absolutely outstanding and the service is excellent. The Drawing Room is in every way immaculate and welcoming - we would highly recommend it to anyone. More

Stayed here with my wife for a getaway evening. The house is very tastefully decorated and has a really warm and cosy feel about it. The food is fantastic, well deserving of the two rosettes and amazing value for money (£35 per head for 3 courses, a bargain in my book). The wine list is almost exclusively French (at least... More

A weekend in a beautiful home in Wales. We arrived to a lovely welcome and a weekend of wonderful food. I am so glad we stayed for two nights. Dinner each night was a feast of local ingredients beautifully cooked and presented. The wine list is comprehensive, Mel was very helpful and attentive. Breakfast was equally good.

We arrived at 3.50pm to find the front door locked. Not realising we were ten minutes premature the welcome was extraordinary. 'You're too early, we don't open until 4. I'll have to get my wife'. Door closed. The wife wasn't there, we offered to come back later, but were grudgingly allowed to enter. What a great start to our relaxing... More
