Visited last minute today with my mother and my sister and the food was lovely. I had the vegetarian Sunday lunch and it was so nice with potatoes, roasties, and carrot and swede mash! The Yorkshire pudding was huge and the cauliflower cheese was amazing. Our Sunday Lunch starts at 10.95 for 1 course, 13.95 for 2 courses and 16.95 for 3 courses.
I managed to find this hotel at the last minute as we had a change of plans for attending a friends wedding in Crickhowell. The price was very reasonable for the room and included parking and breakfast. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was modern, clean and spacious and there was a grand looking bath tub in the bathroom.

Great hotel to stay at. Rooms are good and clean. Breakfast is very good . Food is 5 star quality and very good value, the chef is exceptional. I stayed on business and the room was great with desk space and very comfortable. One word of caution, there can be loud music but it is over by 11pm. Definitely recommended this hotel and I will definitely go back.

Recent refurbished to a high standard. Excellent quality food. Good service . Reasonable prices. The Pint of Glamorgan smooth was as described. A couple of things stopped me giving it five stars. Firstly I had an adjoining room and the door was so thin it felt that the couple next door was in the same room. ! There are no power sockets by the bed but are on the opposite wall which is a pain if you want to use a mobile whilst in bed. Overall a lovely place to eat and stay. So close to a five

Such a friendly place to stay, the staff are most helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Our 3 course meal was amazing, nothing could surpass the delicious melt in the mouth belly pork served on a bed of creamy spring greens, with creamed potato mixed with delicate nuggets of black pudding. Eating 😋 is believing.
This wonderful place is a treat to behold.
