The Wynnstay Arms Hotel is a complete contrast to the town's other pubs. It is a fairly plush hotel/restaurant. The only drawback was that other than another couple, we were the only customers. Despite this, neither of us could get service when we arrived. The bar area is tiny with one large table. But, at the front is a much larger area with all tables made up for dining. Cader Gold & Red Bandit are the two real ales. A major plus point for me was Gwynt y Ddraig Happy Daze & Black Dragon ciders. This appears to be the only place in town serving real cider. Probably the second best place for a beer in the evening in Machynlleth. We moved on from here to the nearby White Horse and then the Tafarn Dwynant in Ceinws and the Dovey Valley Hotel in Cenmaes Road. None of these are listed on BITE. But, I will try to get them added.

Excellent food, cooked by a top notch chef, be prepared to pay but its well worth it.
Dont be fooled by its apparent empty appearance theres loads of room out back in the lovely dinind room.
Posh nosh at a decent price.
Wine selection better than its beer though.

Stayed here recently for a night. Nice place.
But �3/pint for the Reverend James ? It wasn't that good!

great pint of REVEREND JAMES food is very over priced after eating and a couple of pints had to buy fish and chips great fish from hennigans fish shop at the top of town and always nice to see norton jones stoking the fire and sitting at the bar, a good place to have a pint

Stayed for 2 nights in early march 2007. Hotel has been tastefully redecorated. Excellent breakfast and main meals. There's also a pizzeria on site which had good quality and reasonably priced pizza etc.
The ales were Brains - Rev. James, Morland - Speckled Hen & Green King - IPA. On the Friday night the beers weren't so good, but on Saturday the Rev. James was very good (think they'd cleaned the lines?)
Overall I'd recommend this place, friendly staff and a huge inglenook fireplace.

This used to be a real favourite of ours. Its still a good hotel and the food is excellent but for some reason they recently put the beer up from �2.50 to �2.80 per pint! Outragous in my opinion. We don't go there as ofter as we used to - nuff said!

Typical small Welsh town hotel. Nothing to distinguish it from a thousand others. Beer OK.

Excellent food, small range of beers but never a problem getting tea/ coffee unlike other country places.
Food alone makes this highly recommended. Whilst not being cheap it is not overly priced and there is a lot of locally sourced ingredients to make it interesting as well as tasty.
Big open fire, different seating areas, comfy chairs. Kids seemed welcomed not just tolerated.
