About

The Triangle Inn is a charming 16th‑century drifters’ inn tucked in the picturesque village of Cwmdauddwr, near Rhayader and the world‑famous Elan Valley. The family‑run pub delights guests with an unpretentious menu of traditional, home‑made dishes prepared from locally sourced produce, including vegetarian and vegan options. Its warm, wooded setting offers sweeping views of the River Wye and rolling Cambrian foothills, with an inviting indoor fireplace and a cosy outdoor terrace. When visitors aren’t dinnering, the Inn’s stone cottage accommodation provides a comfortable, self‑catering retreat for up to four guests, with a full kitchen, king‑size bed and scenic river view. Whether you’re craving hearty Welsh fare, looking to unwind in a historic stone setting, or enjoying a peaceful rural getaway, The Triangle Inn delivers an authentic, family‑friendly experience that showcases the best of rural England’s hospitality. With automatic door open to the outdoors through the morning into the afternoon, the venue is a popular base for walkers, cyclists and even local geology enthusiasts exploring the nearby Elan Valley trails. Dog‑friendly bar and tea lounge add to its appeal, making it perfect for both the casual traveler and those seeking a quiet, riverside retreat. The Inn’s commitment to local produce, friendly service and scenic location makes it a must‑visit stop for anyone exploring mid‑Wales, especially when the region’s mild spring weather brings the surrounding countryside to life.
