Llanfyllin Workhouse - Y Dolydd

The building was full of history which I found fascinating, Outside was beautiful with a lawn area, a pretty garden area and on Saturday morning the cafe was open and sold lovely food at a great price. I love that it is community run to keep the whole building open and the history alive. A great restoration job.

A little bit more thought needs to be given to internal layout (can other external doors be used to get to the kitchen to avoid using male dormitory? maybe a divider in male dormitory to separate common room? and route to kitchen?I didnt use the kitchen as you had to go through the male dormitory and the common room was in the male dormitor, toilets abd showers were unisex, shower door had a 2 inch gap!(but the shower was nice and hot. I had a shower before the male guest arrived.) worth a visit just be aware of these things

Lovely period property with loads of history to it. Plenty of hot water for showers.

None of it.

So many things wrong. Staff should have been there on my arrival too.

Fantastic property with an amazing history to it. I was the only person there but really enjoyed my stay so much that I’ve booked a couple of nights for the next week.

Great location and an interesting historic place to visit. I was pleased to find a clean and well equipped kitchen and a couple of large comfortable settees. Especially liked the truly old selection of books on the bookshelf. I was the only person in the whole building and had free choice of the best bed 😀

It seems I should have received a code and instructions for entering the building by email but I didn't (checked spam). Although I arrived before 5.00pm there was nobody at the premises when I arrived and the official number connected only to an answerphone. A friendly local person eventually helped out but I was surprised that nobody seemed aware of my booking.

There was no breakfast, and really no staff about. I had the place to myself so that was good. I enjoyed staying in the area, met some nice locals and had a great time up the road on Jazz music night.

The place is packed with history and it's beyond beautiful! Nice and cozy, good price for it too!

The kitchen was a bit abandoned but nothing too bad.

Very interesting building with lots of history.
