Lovely stay

This is a real gem of a property. It is clean and well maintained and is in a stunning location with a beautiful beer garden. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant. We were only there for one night but would love to return for a longer stay in the summer.

Top marks for The Baron

The Baron is located in a quiet village on the Welsh borders and serves cask ale and home cooked food. It is ideally located for local walks and the Phil Price Rally School. The food was top notch and Phil was the perfect front of house host. The bedroom was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed.

Great place to stay

As usual, can't fault my stay at The Baron. I tend to go out of my way in order to stay here. There are so many little touches which makes them stand out. Yet again I had to have 3 courses at dinner due to the quality and the real ale was top drawer so I had to have 3! I must have stayed here a dozen times over the years and the breakfast is always 10/10. This was emphasised by owner Phil who told me that his wife Debra did my poached eggs 3 times before being satisfied and sending it out!

Mixed Review

Nice enough, but hot tub in room 5 just means jacuzzi in the bath, they said lots of people make this mistake! (Maybe make website clearer then?). Shower initially didnt work, till they got new shower head, although they seemed already aware of the problem when we told them just hadnt fixed it? Room much too hot despite fan and overlooked car park so with window open, no privacy. A juliette balcony consists of bars over window not a balcony so not sure why this was advertised. Not worth £154 a night with breakfast. Very clean though, food lovely especially breakfast and waiting staff were lovely too, couldnt do enough for us 🙂. They also kindly posted back left belongings for free.

Not a bad thing to say about this hidden country gem! It was perfect as you feel out in the country away from normal busy life, yet you have everything you need around you! I have never been to a more equipped place! The luxury garden rooms had everything you needed and I mean everything! I would definitely recommend staying here and we will be back soon to see it again in the summer:)
