The Old Barn Inn

The Old Barn Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Very nice pub accommodation. Our room was comfortable, but at the front, so a tad noisy. The bathroom had a step down so really needed a night light to prevent surprises. We had a nice walk through the field before dinner-careful crossing the busy road where the the speed limit seems to be optional. Shame there was not a path along the river. Good choice on the dinner menu, but our food was “okay”."

"A lovely, new, very clean hotel and room. Such a treat. Pity windows aren’t totally sound proof as near very busy road but hotel lovely . (Only real disappointment was the extra over night charge to park (felt deceptive and made room, as expensive as others when you have to pay for breakfast too)."

"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."
