The Old Stores

Booked this beautiful B and B as we were in the area visiting Powis Castle which is only a short drive away. We were in for a real treat, Ruth the owner has the most stunning property with impeccable taste and an eye for detail which is evident throughout. Ruth’s warm welcome makes you feel relaxed and at home as soon as you step inside the door. Homemade Welsh cakes and ample supply of tea, coffee etc were welcome after a long day. The room was furnished beautifully with top quality bedding, towels, robes and toiletries, in fact everything you need for your stay has been thought of. A beautiful sitting room is also available should you wish to watch tv as there isn’t one in the room which was no problem to us. Our room was peaceful and quiet with no noise issues whatsoever. The clock tower situated next door does not chime through the night, Breakfast was a real treat, we had the Welsh breakfast which was cooked to perfection. Thank you Ruth for letting us stay and we look forward to booking with you again in the near future. If I could give you 20 out of 5 stars I would have!

I stayed in the twin room with my Son as a stop over on our way to Aberystwyth University open day. The room/whole house is spotlessly clean, beautifully designed and very comfortable. I normally have trouble sleeping in ‘strange’ beds but the mattress, duvet and pillows were soft and very comfortable and I had no problem getting to sleep despite sharing a room with my son who snores sound like blocked drains. In the morning we opted for the Full Welsh breakfast which was perfectly cooked and was mostly sourced from the local area. The orange juice tasted freshly squeezed and there was fresh coffee. It was delicious. The absolute best thing about the old stores BnB is the host Ruth, she is lovely and very hospitable and cooks a great breakfast.

We had had a bit of a rough during our roundtrip in the Shropshire area and the timing for staying there, couldn't have been better. Both of us felt like our batteries we're completely recharged after staying there for only one night. We received a warm welcome, the room was absolutely perfect and clean, with a massive bathroom. I really enjoyed the touch with the books all over, which you could buy if you wanted. The breakfast phenomonal, really can't say anything bad about is.

Wonderful host Ruth and amazing place to stay. Exceptionally clean and comfortable room and awesome bathroom. Breakfast perfectly cooked with fresh orange juice and homemade marmalade. Thank you for making us feel so welcome

Such a lovely stay here! The rooms were immaculate with a stunning bath room, super clean. A warm welcome from the lovely Ruth who cooked an amazing breakfast! Definitely recommend if you’re visiting the area. We were at a wedding at Garthmyl Hal and it was a great location.

So much room and a gorgeous bathroom with large shower and bathtub. Yummy home cooked biscuits to go with your hot coffee or tea on arrival. Other options for cooked breakfast which was amazing. Loved my avocado and egg on toast.
