Mount Inn, Llanidloes

You want to visit - You have this in

Established as a coaching inn in the 14th century the Mount continues serving thirsty travellers and offers comfortable accommodation. A half timbered building at the end of main street the inn retains many interesting features. There is a snug with two high backed settles next to a Victorian inglenook fireplace. There is a stone floor area as you enter and beyond that in the public bar there is green terrazzo tiled flooring. Most of the bar fittings are more recent but the Mount still creates the atmosphere of how traditional Welsh pubs used to be. A local history group meets here.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

The Mount Inn has a superb snug formed by two high-backed settles attached to the beamed ceiling by iron stays in front of a Victorian range fireplace. This half-timbered building is situated at the end of the main street, not far from the splendid Market Hall. As you enter there is an area laid with diamond shaped panels of stone set on edge where the snug is situated. To the rear is the small green terrazzo-tiled public bar with an early 20th.century wood surround fireplace (the infill is modern), two old curved benches and four Formica top tables.

Whilst the bar fittings were replaced in the early 1970s, there are four carved poker-work panels of local scenes above the counter, which has lower panels of engravings on Aberllefenni slate from the Braichgoch Quarry in Corris, Gwynedd. A slate plaque on the wall states that the artist was A D Woodvine and the engraver was R Whitfield.

The games room on the left is the venue for Medieval Welsh history lessons on a Tuesday night attended by some 30 local people. The lounge/dining room on the right has modern fittings.
