The Royston Shortlist*
Llanbrynmair, Powys
Good Hotel Guide Review
In acres of gardens and pasture, views of the green valley spreading in all directions, this Victorian gentleman’s residence is today a smartly updated guest house and a fine base for Mid Wales exploration. Welcoming hosts Rob Perham and Clive Sweeting have filled their home with deep hues, contemporary artwork and vintage-inspired style. There’s a wood-burning stove and an honesty bar in the lounge; bedrooms, moody-toned and well-equipped, are dotted with ornaments picked up during the owners’ travels. There’s no TV – instead, gaze through the windows at the Cambrian mountains or surrounding fields. From breakfast and dinner to packed lunches and picnics, much of the food is home made or home grown.
