Planning permission granted in December 2015 to convert to a house. Yet another village has lost it's only pub.

Just heard this pub has been closed to the public for about 5 months and is currently been run as a b and b. Sad to see the demise of this rural inn. Hopefully it can be sold on soon as has great potential in the right hands,

Only just reopened and a great transformation. Great food, couple of good ales and all the usual pub games. The int.erior is stunning and this place deserves to succeed.

This Beautiful old inn has been closed for 18 months now. Change of use did not happen and it`s now for sale at �175,000.

Point taken.This is only based on rumours anyway. Of course the villagers will give the pub a chance. We wish you all the best with the food and all we ask if you will cater for us as well and you will get good support.

Opening soon. Rumour is new landlord is focussed on food and local people will be an afterthought. There will be no pool,darts,doms or even a quiz nite. No chance of watching the rugby matches in here as well. Why would you take on a village pub if you have no intention of involving yourself with the local community. Seriously hope he rethinks this policy or he will suffer at the till.

Change of use has been submitted to turn this timbered pub into flats. Thanks once again to the wonderful labour government for the smoking ban... I hope your very proud!!
12 Oct 2011 16:41
Walked past today and it's no longer there. Demolished!!!
9 May 2011 20:52
A change of use has been submitted to form 3 seperate houses. The smoking ban has claimed another victim and the destruction of our public houses continues.

Will reopen later in the year following a �500,000 redevelopment. Will have a restaurant open to the public but unsure about a bar at this stage.

15 Feb 2011 16:28
Planning has now been granted to demolish the pub and built apartments!

The Black Horse Inn, Moreton Morrell
Untouched by time. Get here while you still can. Landlord complaining that only had 12 people in on a Friday night. It`s a big village and could easily support their one pub. The people of Moreton Morrell don`t know how lucky they are to have this gem. Usually sell Hook Norton ale and a guest beer normally around 5%.

Sorry ignore the previous comment. This pub is still open and doing well. The comments are for the local dolfor inn.

No real ale. Just bottled ale and the usual keg offering. Out in the wilds above rhayader. Worth a visit because the scenery is amazing around here.
27 Oct 2010 17:24
Nice little pub with a carved wood bar. 3 real ales on. Tried the local montys beer which was served slightly cooler than it should. On top of a hill in the middle of nowhere. I will return.
27 Oct 2010 17:21
Closed down on the 1st Oct due to the receivers been called in. The local management had upset a few locals recently and a lot have stayed away.
10 Oct 2010 17:28
Change of use to a residental home accepted. Just what the people of Llangurig need!!!
4 Oct 2010 09:31
Bit of a late night disco pub. One ale on - Everards Tiger bitter.
26 Sep 2010 23:51
Reopened after a long closure as a bistro. Still looks and feels like a pub. Covenant on pub from punch taverns stating it could not reopen as a pub for a set number of years.
26 Sep 2010 23:50
Formally the brilliant Mytton Arms. Run as a restaurant now. Shame really as still looks like a pub inside. Hope someone will at least change the name back one day...
26 Sep 2010 23:44
Still open but will close for ever if planning accepted.
29 Jun 2010 22:51

19 May 2010 13:53

19 May 2010 13:46

27 Oct 2009 23:57
Recently reopened after been closed for 9 months.Typical estate pub
27 Oct 2009 23:53
Recently bought by a couple from the midlands.Gaining a reputation for some great food.Sourcing guest beers from the excellent local montys brewery.
27 Oct 2009 23:51
Saved from punch taverns and reopened as a freehouse serving real ale.On my visit they had two ales from snowdonia and wye valley which were both superb.
27 Oct 2009 23:47
Sign on the door states the pub is no longer open to the public. Planning application has been submitted for 6 dwellings incorporating the pub and car park. Pub has been deliberately run down by the landlord. Shameful. I wonder if the people of caersws will challenge this application.
11 Oct 2009 15:44
Vastly improved.Two real ales on all the time.Banks bitter and an interesting guest beer.Recently returned to camra`s goodbeer guide.
29 Sep 2009 11:17

9 Jun 2009 22:59
Large village local with an adjoining caravan site . Normally 2 ales on. Beer can be a bit hit or miss though...
9 May 2009 23:02
Lively village pub with an emphasis on food . Small bar for drinkers. Usually 2 real ales to choose from.
9 May 2009 22:59
One of the last traditional town pubs. Always well supported. Tetleys is the only real ale though

Crown and Anchor Inn, Llanidloes
More commonly known as Ruby`s after the long serving landlady . Genuine multi room old fashioned boozer. Regular entry in the good beer guide. This sort of pub is a dying breed!
9 May 2009 16:07
Situated next to a caravan park . Homely pub with great food. Usually 1 to 2 real ales on(serve local montys ale on occasion)
9 May 2009 15:56
The best real ale pub in mid wales. 4 real ales on at any one time and an annual beer festival . A gem.
8 May 2009 11:53
Rumour in the village the buck is going to close for good in July. Landlord has told pool , darts and dominoes teams they will have to play elsewhere. Pub has deliberately been run down by the landlord for the last few years. Only opens on limited hours and even shuts on saturday nights if he feel likes. Be a sad day for caersws when this once popular pub closes.
8 May 2009 11:47

21 Aug 2007 17:07
Locals pub.no real ale.Locals can be a bit intimidating if you dont know them.
21 Aug 2007 15:14
Potentially the best pub in Caersws but has somehow lost its way over the last few years.Pool table but only 1 real ale (tetleys) which was poor.
20 Aug 2007 18:00
