Llanfyllin Workhouse - Y Dolydd

I had the place to myself and was self-catering, so it was easy to cook, eat, sleep, etc. It is in a beautiful area and very convenient for hill-walking. The place is part of a charity with limited funds and the man in charge was very helpful.

The wall heaters did not seem to work. Floors are tiled and cold and the washroom and showers have concrete floors. I got used to it after a few days. The booking.com info was not wholly accurate, as you do not need to book parking and there is Wifi available.

Quiet, isolated, fan heater, had excellent night's sleep. Kitchen had all I needed and a heater.

Didn't have a shower as the room was too cold.

The location and the feel of the building

It was very cold

Nothing

Place cold. Bed not comfortable No kitchen No dining table area 😢 Bathroom and toilet dirty

It’s a nice place to lodge

Nothing to complain about

Having a guided tour of the museum/ workhuse really added to my enjoyment of the stay. I was the only occupnat and enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Due to a communication failure with booking. com the room was not heated when I came, fine on the second night though.

This is such an unusual place to stay, a historic workhouse in lovely countryside and when I got there I was the only guest! So I had the whole place to myself (and I thought it would be creepy - but it wasn't at all and I'm a scaredy cat!!!) If you are on foot like me the bus will drop you right outside (but note there is no service on Sundays) and the village has a great Spar shop for supplies plus a handy launderette and pubs/cafe's. There is a second-hand bookshop at the workhouse too and various events throughout the year, it's a bargain price too so give it a try!

I cannot lie...it was freezing!!!! The rooms have only electric heaters and I was there in the depths of winter..but there were blankets and I was totally cosy in bed and the super hot shower was heaven after braving the chilly bathroom, good for the circulation!! It was a real experience and I will remember it, come and stay so that the trust can buy more heaters!!
