Like any good village pub should be, the Neuadd Arms is a focal point for the community. It was here that former landlord Gordon Green and his punters cooked up many of the kooky events that have put Llanwrtyd Wells on the tourist trail. Today its thick net curtains, peeling paint and friendly staff give it the charm of a bygone era long lost in most parts of the country. If you want to find out anything about mountain biking, pony trekking or hiking in the area, it's the place to come. During winter you might join one of the farmers' dogs on the couch in front of the fire.
There's also a surprisingly interesting menu (mains £7 to £11) and the chance to sample some of the excellent beers brewed in the stables at the back of the hotel.
