Likes:
The bedrooms were well furnished and equipped and are clean. The bathrooms are particularly well done. The restaurant was excellent, both for breakfast and dinner.
Dislikes:
Sunday night was a rather noisey pub night- but that could have been a one off.

The Horse and Jockey Inn is a 14th Century Coaching Inn with six newly built ensuite rooms, a large restaurant and two bars.
Run by the same family since 1989 and located in the centre of Knighton Town a few minutes walk from the train station.
The Horse and Jockey Inn is set around a courtyard offering a cosy snug bar with a log fire, main bar with pool room & at the end of the courtyard a popular 80 seater restaurant, which was originally the stables, booking recommended.
Above the Restaurant the Hayloft has been converted into 6 ensuite rooms, all tastefully decorated with flat screen television, spacious modern bathrooms and tea/coffee tray. There are 5 twin rooms each with two single beds and one superior double with a kingsize bed.
The Welsh name for Knighton is Tref-y-Clawdd which means "Town on the Dyke" and it is the only Town that stands right on Offa's Dyke. Knighton is the home of the Offa's Dyke Centre and is the natural base from which to explore The Dyke.
The Dyke was built toward the end of the 8th Century by King Offa to separate the kingdoms of Mercia from Wales. It ran for 149 miles from Chepstow to Prestatyn and some 80 miles of The Dyke is still traceable today.
Knighton is steeped in history with sloping winding streets and half timbered houses,the older part of the Town has a grid of streets reminiscent of an Edwardian plantation.
Knighton is easily reached by road or rail with the Heart of Wales Line running through the Town and linking Swansea with Shrewsbury.
Knighton is an area of truly outstanding natural beauty and is a good place to stay whether you are striding the length of Offa's Dyke or exploring the surrounding area.
