Worth every penny with these excellent hosts.
Pros:

From the outset Claire and Neil were excellent hosts. They showed me to my comfortable room, stowed my bike and showed me the lay of the land in terms of food and amenities in the local area.

Le meilleur séjour que nous avons passés en 11 jours. Je recommande cet hotel
Pros:

Claire et son mari sont très chaleureux et accueillants. Discrets, et en même temps très prévenants. La chambre est hyper confortable et lumineuse, ainsi que très bien équipée. Surpris par l'aspect extérieur, c'est le meilleur séjour de notre voyage de 11 jours au pays de Galles. Calme et silence. Nous avons mangé au restaurant de l'hôtel les 2 soirs: plats maisons copieux et délicieux. Large choix pour le petit déjeuner préparé à la demande. un grand merci......

Enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable and had everything we needed :)
Pros:

Friendly staff. Nice breakfast. Very comfy bed. Excellent value for money

Cons:

Only thing i could say is a proper coffee at breakfast would have been nice rather than instant. Other than that nothing. Would definitely stay again!

Fantastic breakfast, hot shower, clean room, and great location for hiking in the Brecon Beacons!
Pros:

Stayed here for 2 nights and had a very comfortable stay. Claire was very helpful, friendly, and responsive to my messages. The room was clean and showers were hot. Kettle, tea, coffee and bottled water were provided in the room. Breakfast was fantastic with very generous portions and variety! The hotel is in a great location for hiking in the Brecon Beacons - we drove up to 20 minutes to the start of hiking trails. Would definitely come back and stay in the future!

Absolutely ideal for my one night stay before the Bike Park day, thoroughly recommend it.
Pros:

Friendly, helpful staff. Great food, both evening meal and breakfast. Very clean room and bathroom. Convenient parking.

Cons:

For me, everything was ideal. Others may find the rooms a little small. As a single occupant, it was fine for me.

Extremely good value for money - perfect location for a Bike Park Wales visit/
Pros:

Staff were genuinely friendly and the breakfast was ridiculously large and high quality, especially when considering it was included in the low price paid for the room

Cons:

My single room was small, but it was en-suite, and had a fridge and the main thing for me was that it was quiet so I was able to get a good nights sleep. (I had been a concerned about noise from the pub, but no problem.)

We had an excellent time in the area and in the hotel itself.
Pros:

I am a coeliac. Claire went out of her way to ensure I had a safe meal each time. Could not fault the level of hospitality provided. We ate there each night and the dinner and breakfasts were great.
