A lovely stay spoilt by unnecessary and unwanted parking anxiety.
Pros:

Lovely hotel in a good location. Well appointed, quirky room. Very nice public areas.

Cons:

The free for all limited parking caused unnecessary and unwanted anxiety.
The lack of an EV charging point is unacceptable in these times.

Good accommodation - would be excellent if parking was available to hotel guests
Pros:

Beautiful property in a fantastic location for exploring the Brecon area. We used it as a base for walking up and around Pen-y-Fan walking there from the hotel. Very comfortable beds, excellent decor, good service from staff and excellent food and drink.

Cons:

The car park is not only for hotel guests. We arrived on a Friday early evening and it was packed full of people that were not staying at the hotel but using the bar or restaurant. This meant our group had to find parking elsewhere (not easy) and drag luggage a fair distance across town. Easily solved by allowing hotel residents to book spaces in advance and putting reserved markers on spaces.

Haben etwas mehr erwartet - war jedoch ganz ok
Pros:

Wir hatten extra ein Supreme Double gebucht, damit wir ein etwas gepflegteres Zimmer erhalten sollten. Leider wurden wir zuerst in einem "Familienzimmer" in den neben Cottages untergebracht, welches sehr dunkel, staubig und gar nicht heimelig war. Nach einem netten Gespräch an der Rezeption wurde uns ein normales Doppelzimmer als Ersatz angeboten, welches sehr hübsch und viel besser war! Dieses "Downgrade" haben wir dankend angenommen.
An einem Abend gab es keinen Parkplatz mehr für uns - wir durften dafür unser Auto auf einem barrierefreien Parkplatz abstellen für die Nacht.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer war 1.5h nach Check-In Zeit noch nicht bereit.
Der Zimmerservice hat nur das Bett gemacht - keine frischen Handtücher, keine frischen Wasserflaschen und sicherlich nicht geputzt.
Das Essen im Restaurant war zwar sehr gut, jedoch mussten wir uns extrem gedulden (rund 1h).
