Lion Hotel, Broad Street, Builth Wells, Powys, Mid Wales, LD2

The renowned Market Town of Builth Wells stands at the confluence of the Rivers Wye and Irfon in the Upper Wye Valley. It has a population of 2,352 and is well known for being the location of Royal Welsh Showground, home of the largest agricultural show in Great Britain. The showground stands in an estate of 140 acres and it's annual show has an attendance of over 200,000. It hosts many other events throughout the year.

The Grade II Listed Lion Hotel is possibly the town's best known building, being a "landmark" property standing on a prominent corner site where the A470 Trans-Wales route crosses the famous five-arch stone bridge across the Wye. Whilst the business is now closed, the previous owner clearly invested a considerable sum in upgrading the property which now offers 18/20 en suite letting bedrooms (inc two 4-bedroom suites) as well as function, bar and dining facilities.
