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.

Why not make a weekend of your visit? Arrive for a leisurely lunch on Saturday. Spend the afternoon touring the local attractions and sites of interest. Have a beautifully prepared dinner with a good bottle of wine, followed by a couple of hours listening to regulars in the bar before retiring to your ensuite accommodation upstairs. Sunday starts with a full Welsh breakfast perhaps followed by some local touring, finishing off with a traditional Sunday lunch before your drive home.

The Roast Ox Inn is now under the management of
Tony Jones
