wonderful stay near brecon beacons

warm greetingclean roomcomfortable bedsensational breakfast

Richard greeted me upon arrival and helped with luggage. I knew then i was in good hands. the rooms had super clean cleanliness and comfortable beds. i appreciated the super hot, powerful showers. a homely lounge area allows relaxing, and sensational breakfast with local ingredients happens there.

honestly the room was lovely but the building itself is very cold, no lights on the outside, this wasn't too crucial though.
