I have dogs, this is one of the best pet friendly hotels I've stayed at. Friendly, helpful staff, nice curry house just along the road and a short drive to the Parkrun I was taking part in. Thanks 😊

A large experience in a small hotel
Nice clean room in the hotel, great welcome from manager, good food after arriving and checking in. Lola our dog was well looked after too. Nice shower in the bathroom, good facilities in the room.
Great stay at the castle hotel, staff very friendly and the room was lovely, we would definitely stay here again. The manager was very friendly and saw to our every need, even when I managed to pay for the room twice as I didn't know hotels.com had already taken the payment, he refunded the overpayment immediately.

Good service, but ok overall
The service was great, and Ray was the perfect host but the cleanliness let the hotel down. All the essentials were clean - bath, sink and bedding so that was good, but the floor in the bathroom hadn’t been hovered so was quite hairy, and there were some windows in the communal areas that were a bit mouldy.
I cannot believe this hotel is rated as good. Filthy carpets on way to rooms, halway covered in dirt, cobwebs in the room, dust on all the furniture, bed was as soft as marshmallow, no soap in toilet, just terrible. In fact it was that bad we didn't even stay, we just handed back the keys and walked out despite losing our payment.
Very friendly and helpful staff; the rooms are very comfortable and quiet. There's a nice bar and restaurant for evening meals (fish and chips is quite good). Breakfast is continental, but there is a nice variety of cereals and toast and other items. The internet was quite good, by British standards.

Spacious room which was very clean, very nice surroundings and the host was very friendly at check-in and breakfast.
Will definitely stay here again when I'm in the area!
Total lack of care of the property in general. Rat faeces in drawers with water leaks and a major sewerage burst on our front steps as we were packing up to leave.
Hotel was in need of some maintenance and a good clean. Paint peeling from walls and damp stains with mould on windows, as well as stained carpets. Stale smell in the hallways and the walls are incredibly thin, so you can hear everything from adjacent rooms.
Breakfast was basic and very much ‘self service’, with instant coffee power, cheap loaves of bread and toasters for you to sort out yourself. ‘Service’ was not a priority and we didn’t really see any members of staff while we were there.
Did the job for one night but we did not want to spend any more time there than we had to.
Chose this place after a day of hiking in Brecon.
It’s a pub/chippy with a few rooms. Reception in the bar. Got taken to room which was outside, downstairs. Room was cold, and partly used as a storage room. Wasn’t very clean. Was a kitchenette there but no utensils to make use of it. The boiler cupboard in the room had a few dirty duvets, decorating material and other items that belonged elsewhere. The noise from the room/bar above travelled through and disturbed us all.
The room serves a purpose after a day of hiking, and we only stayed there because we were tired.
We chose to use the hotel chippy for food and also regretted that - it wasn’t very nice.
Apparently the owners are quite new and finding their feet so I feel a bit hard for this review but we didn’t enjoy our stay.
The breakfast was poor - a bunch of instant coffee, poor quality bread for toasting and that’s about it. We didn’t see a staff member at all apart from check in.
Overall, I would recommend for a means to an end type of stay, but if you want a bit more of a personal service then go to a Travelodge.
The staff were nice enough on arrival, showed us to our room and we left for wedding. We didn't come back until midnight and the smell of musty damp was present.
The kitchenette units were full of crumbs, there were cobwebs and spiders above the one single bed which we had to get rid of before sleeping.
The sink in the one bathroom fills water and takes a while to go down.
We returned the keys this morning and no mention of breakfast (which i later seen was meant to be included)
Was ok, in need of a good revamp.
Staff were nice but the accommodation is very tired and in need of modernisation.
We had tea making facilities… but no mugs, and an ironing board but no iron. It was very noisy, and after a long days travel we just wanted to get a good nights sleep. On the plus side although very tired the shower rooms were spotless. We were only there for one night, and probably would not have stayed more if were were booked for longer.
