My husband and I have stayed at The Drawing Room twice after stumbling upon it whilst on a drive through the Elan Valley. It's a bit like a home from home as the welcome is so warm and so beautifully decorated. There is something magical about the place which I can't quite put my finger on, but I recommend it... more

It was our first romantic break alone without our three year old son and we wanted something that made our time special, The Drawing Room in Builth Wells exceeded our expectations. From the first moment we entered we were made to feel both at special and at home. Melanie has an ability to make you feel both welcome whilst also... more

Great place to stay with perfect food in the middle of beautiful countryside. Perfectly run and an excellent little bolt hole. Highly recommended. more

This is a small set... more

It was all we could have hoped for and more, and like the previous reviewer, we felt compelled to recommend it (even though we wish we could keep it a secret). The ambience has been created with impeccable taste... more

Wow. I don't normally feel the need to write reviews for places - this is a first, and has been prompted by the most perfect christmas break I've ever had, at The Drawing Room. The lounge and snug, with their roaring log fires, make the perfect welcome into what is probably the most beautiful hotel I've ever visited. Shelves of... more

We spent a wonderful weekend at The Drawing Room in July. There's nothing not to like about this place. The food was so good, when eating at a Michelin starred restaurant a week later we both felt underwhelmed. The room we stayed in was beautiful, amazing attention to detail from the fluffy towels to the water jugs next to the... more
