Hotels in Welshpool

Severn-valley hotels — canal-and-castle base, not a Newtown high-street room.

Welshpool hotels sit toward the town, canal basin and the hop to Powis Castle — useful if you are mixing a Severn stop with the market. Confirm parking; Saturday fills the streets. Newtown high-street rooms are a different product on the same taxi table.
