10/10 Excellent
"We had problems with our dog. It demanded my wife sleep in the car with the dog. The staff were excellent and genuinely concerned. They provided food and a hot drink later in the evening for her without prompting. The restaurant food was one of the most tasty meals I have had in years. Excellent room and restaurant service."

"The Hotel is nice if a little bit dated in places. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was nice and good value and it is in a great location for exploring the town and the Brecon Beacons national park. We paid £47 for a Sunday night which was exceptional value. At this price, you can overlook the hotel being a little tired in places."

"An old building with historic interest situated in a town with many interesting old building which is well worth a walk around. The staff were friendly and helpful. Evening meals and Sunday carvery were tasty and specials were explained. A thing to note is that there is no lift so mobility needs to be good to walk up stairs which was not a problem for us.
