Little over three hours journey from London lies the county of Montgomeryshire in the middle of the ancient kingdom of Wales.
At the gateway to the county Welshpool, an historic border town is situated in the beautiful upper Severn Valley. The rolling green countryside is dotted with sheep, castles and pretty timber framed houses built years ago from the famous Montgomeryshire oak said to have been the backbone of the early English Navy.
Dominating the town is Powis Castle, which has commanded the region for almost 500 years.
Once owned by the Earls of Powis, the Royal Oak Hotel and Restaurant has provided the best fare, ales, comfort and good cheer to local and travelling folk for over 350 years. |
Under new ownership for the first time in over 60 yrs
A Major refurbishment will be undertaken in 2006 to up grade and redesign all bedrooms and create a new restaurant and bar area, incorporating a coffee bar and relaxing seating area. The Hotel will remain open during the refurbishment.
The popular Oak and Ostler bars where you can sample traditional cask ales and enjoy good food.
The Acorn Café Bar and Restaurant serving both traditional and lighter meals complemented by a selection of fine wines.
The Powis Suite with Conference, banqueting and boardroom facilities for up to 200 people as well as a professional catering service for weddings and receptions.

Every Monday the ancient Welsh language can be heard at the largest one day sheep market in Europe. Nearby, time has been kind to some of the relics of an industrial past. Victorian working railways and canals are part of the scene, along with hills and deep valleys, still home to many creatures that traditionally lie in peace in the countryside. |
Weddings, Banquets and Dinners
The following information is intended as a guide. Please come and talk to us as we aim to discuss and accommodate your individual needs.
The Powis Suite -
Stylishly converted from the Royal Oak's former coach house, the Powis Suite is a popular venue for Wedding Receptions, Banquets, Dinners and dances.
Accommodating up to 150 guests, the suite has inter-connecting rooms with its own bar, cloakrooms and kitchen. It can convert from a private dining room to a large venue with a stage and lighting - and because it is away from the main hotel, celebrations can continue into the evening.
