Powys: The Goat Inn in Llanfair Caereinion is on sale
The Goat Hotel, a 17th century inn in Llanfair Caereinion, is being sold with a freehold asking price of £380,000.
The boutique family-run pub and hotel on the high street features a 25-seat restaurant and six letting bedrooms.
For the past 40 years it has been owned and managed by Alyson and Richard, who have decided to sell the inn as they are ready to retire.
Having considered selling the business 'for a while', they have partnered with specialist business property advisor Christie & Co to sell the hotel and pub.
Alyson said: 'We have considered selling the inn for a while, but never quite taken the plunge. We felt Christie & Co was the obvious choice as an agent, as they have a good reputation in this sector.'
James Dodd, business agent at Christie and Co, added: 'I'm excited to find a new owner for the Goat Hotel, a well-loved community inn which offers an array of options for a new owner to put their own stamp on it.'
Describing the property and the history of the business within Llanfair, the property Christine & Co said: 'The Goat Hotel is a boutique family-run pub and hotel with a 25-seat restaurant and six letting bedrooms.
'The 17th century inn is located on the high street in Llanfair Caereinion, amidst a scenic backdrop of rolling hills and just a short distance to the River Banwy.
'For almost 300 years, The Goat Hotel has provided traditional Welsh hospitality on the routes between Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth for travellers.
'Beyond the restaurant, there is a casual drinks/dining area and a lounge bar with a roaring coal fire during the winter.
'The inn is known for offering delicious, home-cooked pub food and has an excellent reputation among locals and visiting tourists.'

New Scarlets investors not interested in Ospreys merger as they make 'reluctant hero' claim
New Scarlets investors not interested in Ospreys merger as they make 'reluctant hero' claim HOL's chief experience officer Simon Kozlowski has made the new investors' stance on a merger with their closest rivals very clear A Scarlets-Ospreys merge does not appeal to the new investors (Image: Huw Evans Picture Agency) New Scarlets investors House of Luxury (HOL) insist a merger with the Ospreys is not being considered. HOL hope to acquire a 55% shareholding in the Scarlets over time and have taken charge of off-field operations at the club. They arrive in Welsh rugby at its most turbulent point since the inception of the regions in 2003, with the Welsh Rugby Union likely to reduce the number of professional clubs from four to three or even two. If the WRU decide to go with two professional sides it is highly likely there will only be room for one side in west Wales, making an Ospreys and Scarlets merger a potential option. But HOL's chief experience officer Simon Kozlowski is adamant a merger with their arch rivals is not being considered. "Honestly, no," he told BBC Radio Wales when asked whether they are considering a merger.

"You are going to need some very persuasive people with some very elegant words to bring us onside with that one." Despite the deep-rooted problems in Welsh rugby Kozlowski sees an opportunity to turn the Scarlets around. "We tend to go where there's blood on the streets because we think that's an opportunity for the most positive social change," he told BBC Radio Wales.

UK Government rules out giving something people in Wales want
UK Government rules out giving something people in Wales want The Welsh Government and all 22 councils want the Crown Estate to be devolved to Wales but the UK Government has said no The Crown Estate, the collection of marine and land assets and holdings that belong to the monarch, is a hot political topic The UK Government has said that the Crown Estate will not be devolved to Wales because it "would risk market fragmentation, complicate existing processes, and delay further development offshore". The Crown Estate is a collection of marine and land assets and holdings that belong to the monarch. It includes the seabed out to 12 nautical miles, which is around 65% of the Welsh foreshore and riverbed, and a number of ports and marinas. On land the Crown Estates owns 50,000 acres of common land in Wales. The value of the estate in Wales is more than £603m of land. It is a hot political topic, because since 2019 responsibility for management of the Crown Estate's assets in Scotland has been devolved but that is not the case in Wales. In 2024, the Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales – which you can read here – said that options for devolving the Crown Estate to Wales should be looked at. The Welsh Government want it too, with the First Minister making it clear Welsh Labour believe "the Crown Estate should be devolved". Plaid Cymru, which is doing better than Labour in polls ahead of a Senedd election in May 2026, is making it a central pledge of their election campaign. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here On top of that, all 22 councils in Wales have now backed a transfer of the Crown Estate from the UK to Welsh Government However, the UK Government has ruled it out. In response to a letter sent by campaigners Yes Cymru to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Welsh secretary Jo Stevens has said that is not the position of her party colleagues in London. In it, she writes: "It is this government's view that devolving the Crown Estate and introducing a new entity would risk market fragmentation, complicate existing processes, and delay further development offshore. "Furthermore, devolution would mean Wales losing access to Crown Estate investment that comes from its revenues in England. It would also risk undermining investment in floating offshore wind, which is needed to provide lower bills, cleaner energy, and better jobs. This government is focussed on delivering these objectives and so does not support the devolution of the Crown Estate in Wales," the Cardiff East MP says. "Even if devolution could be done without risking the revenues the Crown Estate generates, this would not automatically lead to an increase in the funding available to the Welsh Government. This is because any revenues retained by the Welsh Government in a devolved system would likely be offset through reductions to their block grant as is currently the case in Scotland. "Creating an artificial border through the Celtic Sea would also complicate crucially important work to develop the floating offshore wind industry, particularly as floating offshore wind lease areas straddle the Wales/England border." YesCymru has pledged to intensify the campaign in response to Westminster's refusal, which started with a protest at the Eisteddfod. Chair Phyl Griffiths said: "The Crown Estate proves that the practice of extraction is still alive in 21st century Wales and has resulted in all 22 authorities speaking with one voice, underlining the fact we're a nation. "The London government's response to our call to transfer control of the Crown Estate to Wales, however, only proves that they see us as nothing more than a region of the UK." Article continues below

Woman stunned after seeing what she looks like before and after climbing Yr Wyddfa
Life revolves around embarking on adventures, and there's arguably no finer destination to discover than the Welsh mountains. One woman recently discovered that trekking in Wales can be enjoyable, yet packed with unexpected twists, following her recent ascent of Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon), and her tale will probably leave you giggling. Vivien, recognised as on TikTok, recently revealed her appearance before and after tackling the renowned summit in North Wales, with the outcome leaving her rather stunned. It's safe to say her wilderness expedition was extraordinary, and she encountered more than a handful of surprises whilst discovering what our magnificent nation has to offer. Accompanying a segment of the footage, Vivien penned: "Lol, my smile in the beginning to my shocked face at the end." Upon viewing the clip, you witness that Vivien's trek commenced with rather misty conditions, and this wasn't the first reported encounter with such circumstances. Additionally, she mentioned the conditions were extremely blustery and precipitation began to fall. Vivien confessed she almost got lost, before revealing her appearance at the conclusion of her expedition. In essence, she was completely soaked, sporting dripping wet locks and a rather dejected look. This simply demonstrates how rapidly conditions can shift whilst you're outdoors. Across the footage, she also inscribed: "Did someone say climb Snowdon and get lost and almost die in 70mph wind and rain?" She emerged unharmed ultimately, and she treated the circumstances with humour. Nonetheless, it's always crucial to exercise caution when venturing into the great outdoors. It appears that Vivien was not alone during her mountain walk, which is a wise precaution. Yr Wyddfa, located in Snowdonia, holds the title of the highest peak in Wales, standing tall at 1,085 metres above sea level. It also claims the distinction of being the tallest in the British Isles outside of the Scottish Highlands. Designated as a national nature reserve, Snowdon is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. Those wishing to visit will find it nestled within the boundaries of Snowdonia National Park. The mountain boasts several lakes, with Llyn Lydaw, situated on its eastern flank, being the largest. Historically, Yr Wyddfa has been referred to as the "busiest mountain in the United Kingdom." In 2022, it was reported that the mountain had been scaled by 543,541 walkers. There are six main routes leading to the summit, with the most frequented one originating from the northern town of Llanberis. Alternatively, visitors can reach the peak via the Snowdon Mountain Railway, which transported 98,567 passengers in 2021. The mountain continues to be a popular destination, attracting thousands of visitors annually. During particularly busy periods, such as summer weekends, queues have been known to form at the summit of Yr Wyddfa as people wait to access the summit pillar. This typically occurs at the steps leading to the trig point; however, it remains possible to enjoy the summit area without joining the queue.
