The Wynnstay Hotel is a bar and hotel open to the public on the south side of the main street in Machynlleth. The front is an imposing 3 story building and offers a pizza restaurant to the rear (between the hotel and Ian Snow) a bar and a hotel accommodation.

The sight depicts a cross foxes on a shield with a knights helm above it. It looks to me as a stylised coat of arms, but the coat of arms of the Wynnstay family doesn't match up. Perhaps the pub used to be called the cross foxes and they just kept the same style of sign.


The Wynnstay stocks real ales from the length and breadth of Wales as well as one or two from across the border. Amongst the most regular attenders are Brains' "Reverend James" and Greene Kings' "I.P.A." The only music in the bar is from occasional impromptu renditions by local or visiting choirs or performers - piped tunes are right out. Public bar opening is 12noon to 2.30pm and 6pm to 11pm though residents get much more relaxed hours. Parties may arrange for a late bar if they do so well in advance. The Hotel bar normally closes at 11pm, 10.30 pm on Sundays but may remain open later at the discretion of the duty manager.

If you wish to have a later bar, please advise us in advance - so that we can ensure that we have staff to cover that.
