The hotel is of course only one element of a motoring weekend. The second is the tremendous open roads that exist throughout Mid Wales.

The roads of Wales are the happy place to drive and experience. Drive through little hamlets with Welsh slate roofs, bell churches nestled along the B roads, Welsh mountain ponies pulling on the tufted grasses next to jaw dropping valley scenery from high on the mountain roads and lose sight in the changing green hilltops ofa

From high mountain passes such as Devil’s Staircase to the fast open roads such as the A44 from Rhayader to Aberystwyth. The scenery is spectacular, congestion minimal and all in all, a wonderful motoring experience.

Testimonial – Porsche R7 WOTY
“We (as a group and personally) thought the service and food provided throughout the whole of our stay was excellent. We were made to feel very welcome and every member of your staff provided a service that was over and above what we would have expected. The reserved car parking was a good touch, it made taking pics of the cars all together really easy too! This was our first time organising a group visit for our club. You made the whole outing from taking the bookings all the way to departing so simple. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your Hotel to anyone who is planning to organise a similar event in the region. I’ll make sure to mention the hotel in our “Porsche Post” R7 region section. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.”

The report and how much we raised for the three Children’s Hospices: Hope House, CHAS and The Shooting Star will be in “Bear Facts” magazine. Thanks to the support of Racemettle & Racetorations and allowing for Gift Aid, the tour will have raised a total in the region of £9,000.00″

“I am just writing to you to thank you and your staff for making our stay at The Metropole so enjoyable. I was impressed that you took the trouble to greet us yourself and that you were actively involved during the dinner. We found the food to be excellent and the fact that you gave us our own dining area and closed it off on our final evening was much appreciated. Thank you again, for making our tour of the beautiful roads of Wales really memorable.”
