Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The hotel was nice and clean with a nice bar area. Our room was small but comfortable and clean. We ate at the restaurant on our first night and we were very disappointed. The meat pie was not home made, there was hardly any steak in it and the steak that was in it was not nice in both texture and flavour. Chips were not hand cut but frozen. My partners salmon and pasta dish was bland. We did give feedback to the waitress after we had eaten and they were disinterested. There are other negative things I could mention but you get the picture. We enjoyed our stay because the room was comfortable and Montgomery was a charming little village but the restaurant food and service was very poor so let down the overall experience.

Everything was excellent ..from the lovely welcome at reception to the room, the swimming pool and the meals in the bistro. Montgomery is a lovely small town/village that is a joy to stroll round before enjoying a drink in the bar followed by a meal in the bistro. All in all a great place for a break at an extremely reasonable price.

Amazing

Fantastic 17th century Coaching Inn in the shadow of the beautiful Montgomery Castle. Free parking outside. Excellent service throughout. Wonderful food. Room was a little small with sloping roof but clean & well stocked. Amazing view across Montgomery with exquisite sunrise to greet you. Being 17th century it has a few quirks & anomolies as its a listed building. It all adds to the character & wonderful experience at The Dragon Hotel.

Great old property that was comfortable and served good meals. The only thing we didn't like was our room. It had a beam between the bedroom and bathroom. It is quite dangerous, only about shoulder high. We put towels over it too soften the head blow if not thinking! Other than that, a great place to stay.
