Bed and breakfast accommodation (ensuite) and the convenience of a restaurant to boot. The Roast Ox Inn at Painscastle - a 500 year old coaching house serving a variety of suberb real ales.  Welcome to the Roast Ox Inn at Painscastle in the beautiful Powys countryside near to Hay-on-Wye, Brecon and Builth Wells.

The Roast Ox is a traditional country public house but with the added attraction of a restaurant seating 60 persons, 10 fully en-suite letting rooms and superb conference facilities with full audio-visual equipment.

Recently completely renovated and refurbished following a disastrous fire some years ago, the Inn is steeped in history and is known to have been in existence for at least 500 years.
The restoration after the fire was undertaken using traditional building methods and materials and finally completed in December 2005. The Inn retains a number of its original features and provides an atmosphere conducive to a traditional inn whilst benefiting from 21st century facilities.

The dining room was originally the blacksmith's workshop and was attached to the inn to provide services such as shoeing to drovers who may have been in the early stages of a journey to market, with oxen or cattle.
