"We had a lovely two-night stay and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The hotel was welcoming, comfortable and very dog-friendly, which made travelling with our dogs so easy and enjoyable.
Our room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout, and we really appreciated how accommodating they were with the dogs.
The location was also ideal for getting out and about with them, and it was great to be able to enjoy a short break without worrying about whether our dogs would be welcomed.
Overall, a fantastic stay and somewhere we would happily return to. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and genuinely dog-friendly hotel."
"Me and my partner stayed for his birthday and had a nice time,, but I’d be weary if you have additional needs.
When we went to eat in the bar for dinner there was a live band playing. I have multiple disabilities that affect my sensory processing (autism, adhd and dcd) and I was unable to go in the restaurant or bar with my ear defenders because of the noise. My partner even said he found it too loud - you could hear it in the corridors! This was only one day but the staff let me know it’s every Wednesday and Friday so that is something to keep in mind when booking if you struggle. We ordered room service instead which was handy but the £8 fee for delivery was frustrating because I’m not able to help being sensitive to noise and I couldn’t find any information online and I feel it is helpful to let customers know before hand.
We also had multiple questionable stains on the sides of the chairs and one lightbulb was hanging out of the light fixture above the bed, we notified reception and was told someone would be sent down shortly due to it being a safety hazard, but no one came. This left me on edge for the whole two days as I was expecting someone to arrive any minute.
The amenities were lovely and we had a good time overall and would stay again,, just not on a Wednesday or Friday."
"The first room we were allocated had not been cleaned since the last occupancy however reception gave us another room and upgraded us for which we w ere grateful"
"Lovely Hotel.Reception staff were very helpful. I had a superior double room well worth the extra cost. Had a lovely ploughmans and sticky toffee pudding for lunch in bar area,really enjoyable.Nice patio outside for evening drinks!!!Breakfast was excellent set in a beautiful dining room,service was excellent especially from sue who went out her way to make it enjoyable!This was my first visit to the Castle Hotel of Brecon and it won't be my last!!"
"Great visit only annoying thing very limited choice on menu for vegetarians just 2 so as staying 4 nights 2 nights had veggie starter with chips and salad !"
"A tired but welcoming establishment.Riom was basic with a faulty bathroom tap but clean. Staff were great and the bar downstairs was excellent. A 7-8 minute drive to the Hay Literature Festival so a great lower budget option"
"The staff are friendly and nothing was too much trouble. From check in to check out we couldn't fault a thing. The breakfast is excellent and plentiful, a huge shout out to the chefs! Rooms are clean and comfortable and the hotel is in an excellent position. Parking is an issue but there are council carparks nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend this hotel and would definately stay again."
Newly renovated cottage & great location! Space for 10
10/10 Excellent
"Would highly recommend this property! Myself and 7 friends stayed here and it was perfect!- plenty of space in the house- thoroughly equipped kitchen (great because we wanted to self-cater and it had everything we needed more!)- super clean - plenty of essentials provided (towels, bedding, blankets, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner, soap etc.)- ideal location for lots of different types of hikes (we hiked every day and never drove more than 45mins to get to any of them)- lovely large peaceful garden- very friendly locals- helpful convenience store and cafe half a minute walk away- useful lock box for the keys (very helpful with a large group of friends coming and going and different times)- possible to access by public transport from elsewhere in UK (some of the group came from the midlands via train and then a bus that came straight to the town)- space for 2-3 cars on the private driveway free parking on the street outside the house- absolutely beautiful countryside!- easy and helpful communication with host, who left Welsh cakes for us came by 30mins before check-out (not to rush us but to say hi and check all fine, then left us to pack up)Honestly couldn’t have wished for a better holiday home :)Perhaps helpful to note:- best to have a car to get around once there- the bedroom with 3 beds is 2 permanent beds 1 pullout bed (proper frame and mattress so no issue there, just good to be aware that floor space is limited if that 3rd bed is set up)"
