Wales’ largest county, rural Powys is a landscape of verdant hills, little villages and pretty market towns brimming with excellent food and heaps of historic landmarks. Popular with walkers and cyclists, the region is also brilliant for laid-back country escapes as a couple or family, with a wide range of accommodation options suitable for a whole host of budgets. Many of the best places to stay in Powys are classic country house hotels, complete with striking views and excellent facilities, but some of our favourite spots are little restaurants-with-rooms, where you can tuck in to fresh, seasonal fare before hiding away in intimate tranquility.
