The Knighton Hotel
The Knighton Hotel is an independently owned family business situated in the centre of the ancient market town of Knighton, nestling in the hills of the Welsh Marches.
Historically, the hotel would have been a handy resting place for travellers on the turnpike roads of yesteryear before they journeyed into the wilder and more rugged country to the South and West. The building was also the hub of the business and farming communities of Mid Wales, especially on Market Days when the bars would be crowded with farmers from the surrounding countryside and many deals would be struck over a “drop or two”.
Nowadays Knighton is better known as one of the major tourist and commercial centres of Mid Wales and the fully refurbished Knighton Hotel is a welcoming destination, whether you are enjoying a family holiday, arranging a business conference or celebrating a wedding, birthday or anniversary.
Situated at the very heart of Knighton, the hotel itself is a combination of two buildings, a sixteenth century coaching inn and an adjoining Victorian stone built manor house. A unique feature is a magnificent galleried central staircase within the atrium at the centre of the former manor house. The staircase is of a style called “Cantalibra” and is believed to be the only remaining example in Europe.
The hotel is comprised of 16 letting rooms, the King Offa Restaurant, carvery, lounge bar, sports bar, and two function rooms. The decor throughout is of a contemporary style complimentary to the age and architectural features of the buildings. There is a lift to all floors and ramp access from the large public car park at the rear of the building.
