The Lamb and Flag Inn

★★★★★ Had another great stay at the Lamb & Flag Inn. It’s in a really convenient central location, making it easy to get around Rhayader and explore the surrounding area. The accommodation was clean and tidy, which made for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It has a welcoming, atmosphere. It also offers excellent value for money, making it a great choice if you’re looking for somewhere affordable without compromising on comfort. Overall, a straightforward, comfortable place to stay in a great location. Will happily return and recommend to anyone visiting Rhayader.

Great value for money. Comfortable and clean rooms. Ideally located for the Elan Valley and Mid Wales

Clean and good size room

Had a great stay! The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. Their warm hospitality really made the experience memorable. Highly recommended!

Fantastic staff, very helpful from day 1 Food is excellent Ideal location to start your walks from

The cleanliness wasn't that great.. Not sure if it gets dusted..? But for what I spent I guess it was average. Probably wouldn't stay here again.

Pleasant stay, right on a main road so can be a little noisy

A great location and a decent room for a great price.

Another great stay. Friendly and helpful staff, great value accommodation and lovely food.

Great value, lovely evening meal,great location for visiting the Elan Valley and surrounding areas.

A welcoming, friendly pub with good beer, tasty food and clean, comfortable accommodation.

Can’t complain for the price paid but the room and bathroom facilities are extremely dated and resemble 1990. Cigarette burns in the carpet, a broken bathroom light, kettle, tv and wardrobe all covered in a mountain of dust. Zero sound insulation from the pub below and the street outside (the latter to be expected) but extremely noisy when people returned to neighbouring rooms. If you want a good nights sleep. You’d need to look elsewhere. Food at the pub however was very good and staff were kind and pleasant.

Excellent, right in the centre of town, nice and clean, recommended place to stay..

I would say this place is relatively inexpensive. Sorry to say that is the only positive thing. I stayed in room no. 1 Starting with the bathroom, the fixtures are quite old and worn. The basin taps were press style which you might normally find in a motorway services or a campsite. When I filled then emptied the basin, some waste water came out of the waste “outlet” in the shower. The bedroom was okay, but the bed seems to have seen better days. I had to plug the kettle into an extension lead since there wasn’t any reachable sockets nearby where the kettle was located. This room had double glazed windows which had no effect on quieting the road noise outside. The last comment was partly my fault for not checking before I booked this place…they don’t serve breakfast onsite.

When I arrived the signs through the front door was confusing. I just found my way through to the bar where I spoke to the lovely staff behind the bar. Staff were really nice. Was shown to my room. Bed was comfortable, bedding and towels were clean. Carpet and bathroom floor was not clean. Hair on the bathroom floor. Tea and coffee was a welcome addition. Had to move the kettle to boil it though as it didn’t reach the plug. Bathroom could do with some TLC. Just looks a bit grimy. One of the blinds has the thing you twist to close them, missing. Was a bit fiddly to close the blinds.

The bathroom shower curtains were terribly mouldy. The food was poor - fish undercooked and batter overcooked. Waitress very pleasant however. Bed very comfortable.

A great place for an overnight stay whilst exploring the elan valley. Clean and comfortable bed plenty of hot water. A lovely evening meal at a good price. Being a lovely sunny weekend the pub was busy and there was a little noise outside but nothing that stopped you sleeping

Room was very dirty only stayed the one night not the 2 that was paid for. Ordered food in the evening only chicken wings they were black and smelt terrible I did not touch them. Wasn’t asked how the food was or anything. Overall very disappointing

Clean and tidy although a little tired looking And no hair dryer

Staff really helpful, accommodation great and very convenient for Trans-Cambrian MTB route.
