Parkers House

Tina and her daughter Hannah run Parkers House, a bed and breakfast on Shortbridge Street in Newtown with ensuite rooms and a ground-floor restaurant serving breakfast and lunch until 3pm daily. Guests check in without a desk clerk: door codes and directions arrive by text or email ahead of arrival. The kitchen sources from nearby growers where it can, offering continental, cooked, vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free breakfasts alongside a standard fry-up. Parkers Restaurant downstairs keeps its own hours for passing trade rather than residents only. The building sits a short walk from Newtown's train station and town centre shops, making it a base for visitors touring the Severn valley.
