    The place really needs a major overhaul. The decor is pure 1980's with worn 'gold' bathroom fittings. In the corridor near my bedroom, the ceiling was held up with a wooden prop! One of the windows in the bathroom was cracked and repaired with Sellotape. Also it took ages for water to come out of the taps. I turned on the tap, used the loo and by the time I came back to the sink, the water was just starting to dribble out!

    Breakfast was good and plentiful. The hotel is really clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is full of character, very quirky. And it's right in the middle of Machynllyeth, which is handy.

    The Wynnstay is a charming old hotel and has bags of character but it's fair to say that our room and bathroom, although clean and comfortable, did look somewhat 'tired' and in need of an update.

    The all-in package included breakfast and dinner. Dinner was fantastic and exceeded expectations both in terms of quality and content. Much of the produce was locally sourced and the choices were genuinely a la carte. Compliments to the chef! Service was also excellent. Breakfast was very good. All the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and it was great to walk out of the front door into the heart of Machynlleth on market day. Free parking at the rear of the hotel was a bonus as it can be a headache at some places

    Pleased with the accommodation, food, and hospitality we received, August 2024. [I post here on behalf of my Italian friends, on whose behalf I made this booking. Hence my name shows on this review. Their review of The Wynstay to me reflects our shared satisfaction with our stay there :) See also my August review of my stay - Garry Jones]

    It is very tired. Mop and bucket was outside our room on arrival and not removed. Mold on bottom of shower curtain and damp discolouring on ceiling.

    Like the quirkiness. Staff are always very good. Good location.

    Quite an old and run down building which could do with a bit of polishing up, however it is clean.

    Clean, really quiet, slept like a log which rarely happens for me in b&bs. Shower worked well. Staff are lovely and welcoming. Right in central point so very easy to find and close to small supermarket.

    The hotel is 'tired' and the owner is aware and is in the process of doing it up.

    The building is old and has so much unspoilt character. The food was lovely and hood quality. Staff were friendly. It was dog friendly.

    The first room allocated hadn't been made up. However we were quickly given a good alternative (and the housekeeping staff were going to get a severe telling off from a furious duty manager!) . But a supervision failure?

    An historic, quirky, but delightful place for a very comfortable stay with excellent dinner & breakfast, helpful staff, and off-street parking.

    Room 21 The Bed was very uncomfortable. Which was disappointing. I would have expected a topper on it because obviously the sprung mattress is not up to standard at all.

    A rather basic accommodation in a historic building in the center of the town.

    The bathroom had the separate taps for cold and hot water. The toilet made enormous noise every time it was flushed. The noise isolation is non-existent, and the floors are creaking and slanted (it's a pretty ancient building). The shower was outdated too, and water stream was weak.

    The location is good - right in the middle of the town. The breakfast was quite good. There's a restaurant open for dinner, but I didn't use it, so can't attest to the quality. There is a bike shed, albeit not most conveniently accessible. The room is sufficiently spacious, there's tea and coffee facilities, and the bed was comfy enough.

    The cups in the room for tea making were too small,

    Breakfasts were very good and the one time we decided to eat an evening meal, that was even better The staff were consistently lovely and the bath was the best Ive ever experienced in a hotel. We would definitely stay again when we return to mid Wales
