Parkers House Guest Accommodation

A town-centre B&B with café in Newtown, Powys

Parkers House is a welcoming, well-presented bed and breakfast right in the centre of Newtown, the largest town in Powys, on the banks of the River Severn in Mid Wales. With comfortable en-suite rooms, a generous breakfast and its own café downstairs, it makes a handy and characterful base for exploring the Severn Valley and the rolling hills of the Welsh borders — with everything in town just moments from the door.

The rooms

The guest bedrooms each have private en-suite bathrooms and are finished with luxury furnishings for a comfortable stay, with unlimited tea and coffee as standard and free WiFi throughout. A contactless check-in system makes arriving easy, even outside normal hours. Run by Tina and Hannah, it has the friendly, personal feel of an independent, family-run place in the heart of town.

Breakfast and the café

Breakfast is a highlight, with continental options alongside a locally sourced cooked breakfast, and gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian and milk-alternative choices catered for. Downstairs is the on-site Parkers Café, serving food through the day — handy for a coffee, lunch or a treat without going far.

Newtown and Mid Wales

Newtown is the largest town in Powys, set on the River Severn and known as the birthplace of the social reformer Robert Owen, with a rich textile heritage, independent shops and pleasant riverside walks. It makes an excellent base for exploring this quiet, green corner of the country — the pretty walled town of Montgomery with its hilltop castle, Welshpool with the magnificent Powis Castle and its gardens, and the rolling hills and lanes of the Welsh borders are all within easy reach.

Good to know

A central B&B with its own café is a genuinely handy choice in a market town like Newtown — you can walk to the shops and the river, grab a coffee or lunch downstairs, and use the town as a relaxed base for touring Mid Wales and the borders. The personal, family-run welcome and thoughtful touches (contactless check-in, unlimited tea and coffee, dietary-friendly breakfasts) make for an easy, comfortable stay. Mid Wales is a quiet, scenic region that rewards unhurried exploration year-round, from green summers to crisp, clear winter days, so it suits walkers, cyclists and anyone after a peaceful break away from the crowds.
