Lovely friendly pub, very comfortable room, especially the bed and the quality of the linen. Food was superb, both dinner and breakfast. My steak was done to perfection. Thoroughly enjoyable stopover on the Offa's Dyke walk.

Historical ambience was wonderful. Staff were all helpful and pleasant. The carvery meal which we enjoyed that night had an excellent vegetarian nut roast with a vegetarian gravy especially supplied, and a good selection of veg to go with it. The breakfast the next morning was fabulous.
We apparently had a free room upgrade. I'm not sure what the difference would have been. Our room was wonderful.

Warm, friendly, busy, and reasonably priced. Everything you could want from a successful local pub. Great staff, good food and comfortable beds all make this a great choice if visiting the Clun area. Highly recommended.

Lauren's Hair Lounge is fantastic for hair up for a wedding, lovely girl and reasonable price. We were only staying for a wedding I don't think we would have reason to return it's a very remote little town. Everyone we spoke to was pleasant and helpful. Very difficult to get around with limited and expensive taxi options. Didn't see any buses but maybe there is. Beautiful part of Wales.

Really nice town to stay in.
Really nice town to stay in. Lots of places to eat and drink. Good selection of shops as well. Coming from London I was pleasantly surprised how reasonably priced food and drink was, and the choice and quality was very good. Knighton is a great base for walks along Offers Dyke and visiting local sites. I would certainly stay there again.

Well known for the Offa's Dyke Centre and the start of the famous Offa's Dyke walk but other than that the town, although elegantly Victorian in build, does not have much else going for it, to my knowledge. I did find a lovely place to eat in Knucklas, nearby, "The Castle Inn" which offers an assortment of pies but most notably authentic Thai dishes as the chef is Thai. The night I went there was a 'pub quiz night' and wonderful waitress service which elevated the esperience altogether.

Good evening meal at the Horse and Jockey pub - reasonable price, good choice and friendly staff.
Had a good bacon butty and cuppa in J D's Cafe.
Nice snack lunch in the cafe at the Prince and Pugh store. Great shop too - has all sorts, including gifts and cards!
Lovely church to visit - surprisingly large with beautiful stained glass windows, painted organ and embroidered kneeling cushions. Well worth a visit.
Peaceful walk down by the river with direct access to the Offa's Dyke Way. Great area for walkers.
Historic heart, decent range of shops for a small town and choice of cafes, plus restaurants. A great Co-Op shop that opens up inside like the Dr Who tardis! 😄
Good base too for exploring the local area.

A lovely little town where we could quite happily have stayed for much longer.
There were some lovely shops and a couple of art galleries in the town. if you are looking for gifts or cookware we would suggest you check out Prince & Pugh - this lovely shop even allowed our dogs in to say hello.
Rhi at Tower House Gallery was exceptionally warm and friendly even remembering us on our second visit. We highly recommend this shop if you are looking for greeting cards, local art works or books but also for their delicious cakes.
We would highly recommend the Horse & Jockey for food - it was reasonably priced and the food was incredible. The service here was also fantastic especially Georgia who was looking after the bar where we sat.
Knighton is on a hill...quite a steep one at that so please be warned that it might not be ideal for people with mobility issues!

Knighton was a pleasant town and there were plenty of places to eat nearby.
Would recommend a visit to the space guard centre just outside town
Eye opening and very informative

The lady who manages the property is very hardworking, friendly and efficient The bar in the pub is popular and mainly for locals but the bar in the restaurant was very good and the menu was interesting (sizzling chicken and steak on hot cast iron skillets!).All the staff were helpful .The Hotel does not have parking space but we found one a hundred yards away on a free space .The rooms were stylish with old pine beams.Maybe the best place to stay in Knighton
A wonderful pub with rooms next door in the charming town of Knighton. The restaurant is run as 100% gluten-free and no wheat based products are allowed on site so the risk of contamination is minimised. The gluten free bread was homemade and delicious. The breakfasts were fantastic. The rooms were clean and well maintained. Great location for walking and visiting either Shropshire, Herefordshire or Wales!
Excellent cottage located close to Offa's Dyke and easy access into Knighton. Well appointed and we felt welcome and informed about the cottage and the area. We'd definitely consider staying here again. It seems increasingly rare to find properties in this area that don't accept dogs, so this was a real gem to find. Also, lovely friendly neighbours!
I was walking a Offa's Dyke Path and needed somewhere in Knighton for 2 nights so I could have a rest day. The caravan fitted the bill perfectly. Lovely quiet relaxing location. Facilities for self catering. Bed surprisingly comfy. Good price. Excellent hosts.
