A pub in Maesteg that deems itself the 'Oldest Pub in Wales' has won the award for Pub of the Year at the National Pub and Bar Awards 2023. The historic The Old House 1147, which underwent a massive transformation in 2021 from tired 12th century pub to modern-day wedding venue and hotel that has retained the age-old character with original parts of the building, was recognised at the prestigious awards on Wednesday, June 28, at a ceremony that took place in London.
The winners were announced on Twitter as the night went on with The Running Horses in Mickleham in Surrey named the overall National Pub & Bar of the Year.
Co-owned by Steffan Jones and his parents Sian and Jeff, who bought the centuries old Grade II listed venue in 2017, The Old House 1147 is an idyllic venue located just two miles from Maesteg in the village of Llangynwyd which is nestled in the Llynfi Valley, and has views of Y Gadlys and Mynydd Baiden.
