Group of 7 lads stayed here for 2 nights whilst competing in the Fan Dance. The hotel was perfect for what we needed. Rooms were great, food was great and the hotel staff were amazing and made you feel really welcome. Will definitely stay again when we return to do Fan Dance 2027 💪

Food is great. The young girls waitressing were very polite. And the young boy on the bar very friendly and efficient. I look forward to coming again soon for food and drinks. Myself and the ladies do attend every Wednesday using the function room for line dancing and it's great. Very spacious and the staff are lovely for letting us use the function room each week.

Great hotel in the centre of Brecon, our rooms window would not close to we had road noises. There is no car park so had to use council parking approx 10 minutes walk away, the car parks technically do not have 24hr capability, download their app to pay between 8am & 6pm, 6pm till 8am is free but you have to be up to buy your ticket for the following day.
