Elizabeth Riley and her husband Paul moved into a house above the Travellers Rest in Llanidloes, a much-loved restaurant of more than 50 years, last month. The couple, who are both InteleTravel agents, now plan to launch Hafod Travel to serve the town’s nearly 3,000 residents.
However, before they can start selling holidays from the premises in Long Bridge Street, they must first submit an application to Powys Council for a change of usage. Riley believes it could take up to six months before Hafod Travel officially opens, adding: “It’s very early days.”
