The Powis Arms has been at the heart of the historic village of Lydbury North for over 200 years.

The Powis Arms is of an unusually large appearance for a Shropshire village pub.

The reason for this is that it was designed and built by the estate managers of the nearby Walcot Hall, the one time home of the Earls of Powis.

It is a Grade II Listed building and was known as the New Inn in the 18th century and largely rebuilt in the 19th century.

Nowadays it is undoubtedly a part of village life, and has a public bar, lounge and a decent sized dining room.

Today the building welcomes its locals and visitors with open arms, offering a place to sit down, relax, and enjoy some of the best food and drink in the county, surrounded by friends, family and neighbours…your dogs are welcome too.

On a summer's afternoon be sure to visit the semi-covered deck overlooking the open countryside to the rear of the pub, which perfectly captures the afternoon sun.

The campsite has 12 pitches for touring caravans, each with an electrical hook up, plus additional pitches for tents. Facilities include a heated amenity block with showers, toilets, washing up area and chemical disposal point.

The Powis Arms has four simple but comfortable bedrooms on the first floor of the pub. Three of the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and one has an ensuite shower.

Rooms start from £80 per night and include a full English breakfast.

The pub's ethos with the rooms is to be stylish whilst retaining the historical character of the pub and to provide comfortable beds with excellent bathrooms.

Each room has its own individual charm, with decorative objects gleaned from the attics and basements of Walcot Hall, as well as interesting and quirky prints and paintings.
