Thread: The lion royal wales

Ok I know this isnt Tripadvisor but
Weve just come back from a 2 day break in wales and stopped at the lion royal in rhydher apsolutley brilliant weekend, there were 9 of us we booked a guide through mary the owner she is a very nice lady who wont take no flannel and serves a good pint! she sorted it for us picked up at 9am after a spot on breakfast then returned at frikin 6 knacked 130miles later!!!! strata florida etc
Im telling you about this because the hotel has had some bad reveiws on here and I think she dosnt deserve it mary couldnt do enough for you, the whole set up is perfect for a lads and lasses weekend away with the bikes, the bikes are secure as are the vans theres no moaning with the noise a brilliant atmosphere what more can i say, were going back next year so if your up for it let me know.
Cheers Grant
Hope to show some photos and vids

I have been a few times and Mary is a gem. Ok the hotel is in a little of a time warp ( but it is in wales) Breakfasts are brilliant. There is a room to dry your clothes. Pubs outside the Hotel as well.
Defo worth a trip!

good glad you liked it.............

you met mad mary then ! she used to be a pretty handy enduro rider in her day believe it or not.

We were two of the nine riders and we also had a great time and still talking about it. Like Grant says, it is no Ritz, but for what you pay and the service provided it is spot on. To me, a beds a bed as long as its clean and smells fresh, sorted! After that days ride, you will sleep on a clothes line....guaranteed!
Mary couldn't have been a better host serving whatever you wanted any time of the day or night, including a cracking cup of tea (late) after a 'few' beers! Shame a couple of Grants riders didn't have a couple of coffee's after Fridays intake, (but thats another story)

Anyway, Nowt wrong with this venue for a decent trip, great guide, great scenery, great night out, cheap, i would go back anytime. Only thing that went wrong was my VW blowing up on the journey home, Joy!!

Next year Tony?
itd be rude not to my friend

i run a pub let me tell you the likes of trip adviser and good pub guides can seriuosly fuck a company we can do 200 meals on a sunday i wish 199 people would leave a good review instead of 1 person leaving a bad one ............ believe they do and people read that shit .....
the first time we did rhayadar we stayed at marys and i thought a bit grim but for bikers it was bang on the last few times have stayed at greenfields that thats a diferant story and i have pics

I've stayed there. Breakfasts are great but when the patronesse slides into your room at night, there's something slightly Fawlty Towers about the place!
