Well-maintained pub site on the border between England and Wales
In Buttington on the River Severn; four miles from Powis Castle
Sunday roasts; dogs welcome, with riverside and country walks nearby

Whether it’s castle spotting, hikes along Offa's Dyke or exploring natural beauty spots like the Shropshire Hills and Snowdonia National Park, the Green Dragon Inn will get you right on track. This warm and welcoming pub site in Powys is in the hamlet of Buttington on the river Severn, a few minutes' drive from the English border and it’s a fab place to top up your batteries before you get out… Meals at the rural country pub are sorted by a varied pub menu, with hot food served between 4pm and 10pm on Fridays; between 12pm and 10pm on Saturdays; and between 11.30am and 9pm on Sundays. There are Sunday roasts to get into, as well as Friday specials. Green Dragon Inn has a range of mixed hardstanding and grass pitches to choose from, plus access to free wifi, a washing-up area, baby changing facilities and a well-maintained bathroom block. This is a dog-friendly site close to lots of riverside and country walks, with visit-worthy local vistas including Admiral Rodney’s Pillar, Whitehouse Nature Reserve and Severn Farm Pond Nature Reserve (all a few minutes' drive from base). The Offa's Dyke trail is a few minutes' walk from the site, running along the river to the north and inland through the fields to the south. Getting to the site should be nicely straightforward as it's just off the A478 – the trade-off for this is that there is a certain amount of road noise on the pitches.

Electric optional hardstanding pitch

Liked: This is a small friendly site attached to the pub. It has a nice little play area in the pub garden. A few hardstanding pitches and lots of grass areas. The people in the pub, think one couple are the owners and the other couple are the managers couldn't do enough for us. They were so friendly and helpful. We only travelled 30 mins as it was a trial run with our new to us trailer tent but I wouldn't hesitate in going back for a little get away. To top it all off the food in the pub was fantastic and all of it was very reasonably priced. Road was a little noisy but they tell you this on the pitchup site so ear plugs solved that problem.

Disliked: Outside shower and toilet could do with updating, maybe more private doors on them and shower needs more hanging hooks for towels, clothes etc

Electric optional hardstanding pitch

Liked: Easy to find. Easy to park up. Simple but perfectly adequate facilities. Cheap as chips. Pub next door superb.

Disliked: Adjacent road was busy and a little noisy, but we had read about this before hand so it wasn't unexpected - to be honest it wasn't too intrusive.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Sehr schöner Pub, gutes Essen, hervorragende Gastgeber. Die ganze Anlage macht einen sehr gut gepflegten Eindruck. Das Pod bietet viel Komfort und ist dank der kleinen Heizung warm genug. Ich wünsche den noch-Inhabern alles gute und den neuen gutes Gelingen!

Disliked: Die Sanitäranlagen sind ein bisschen heruntergekommen.

Electric optional hardstanding pitch

Liked: The hospitality at the green dragon was brilliant. Friendly, chatty and accommodating. We had the tapas on the first night and it was lovely and our dogs got a little sausage and gravy on the house .
The showers and toilet were clean .
The views were beautiful

Disliked: Only down side for us was we struggled to walk the dogs near by with the roads having thin paths or no paths which is unfortunate as it is not the businesses fault .

Local attractions

What horizons to set your sights on first? Well, for those of you who have historical sites high up on your holiday to-do list, there are a few places to get started and Powis Castle (10 minutes' drive) is one of the closest out of the lot. This huge Welsh castle has some splendid garden terraces and walks in the grounds are a real treat… For less walking and more chugging about, steam train trips go from the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway Preservation Company (10 minutes). To continue with your historic streak, The Wharf Powysland Museum (10 minutes) spills the beans on Montgomeryshire’s local history, while for ruins, Montgomery Castle (15 minutes) and the Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle (20 minutes) are some of your options. Of course, activities-wise, walking is particularly fine around this area, especially in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (20 minutes) and Snowdonia National Park (40 minutes) but the kids in your group could cheer on the pig races or meet the alpacas at Park Hall’s adventure farm (25 minutes). Meanwhile, the adults might prefer to go for a laidback game of golf at the Brookland Hall Golf Club (10 minutes).
