Simple, clean and comfortable room. The host, Claire, was wonderful - great communication and she went out of her way to help me out during my stay (providing advice on local activities, storing bags, drying some wet clothes). Breakfast was excellent.

The location was convenient and the price was reasonable, which is the reason I had booked. There are places to eat nearby, according to google maps.

All of the Staff were very friendly and lovely, and the food was so nice. The Welsh Breakfast was very tasty, used good quality local ingredients. We had Scallops to start which were cooked to perfection. My partner had the Cod which was so succulent and full of flavour with a good portion. I had the monkfish which was a little over and the portion of the overall dish was small for the price, but the taste was lush! We didnt use the pool area but it looked nice from outside!

This guesthouse is fantastic. Very close to the town and if you drive there is plenty of street parking. Everything about the room was lovely. Comfy beds and very clean. The room I was given had a kitchen with stove and washing machine...a nice surprise. Absolutely no complaints .

Definitely need a car to get around this area.
Definitely need a car to get around this area. Not quite the luxury I was looking for. Accomodation and breakfast where I stayed was fairly basic. Quite limited in eating out options too.
Managed to walk the Pen y Fan which was the highlight of my stay here.

Nice town with some lovely places to go for a drink and a bite to eat. Friendly bar with live music at the weekend. Also there is a Wetherspoon. The Zip World was only a 30 min drive away and is fantastic. Great scenery and walks near by.

Only stayed 2 days and then was at an event so not enough time to explore. However on an evening plenty of places to eat and drink. Tesco Extra and range of other shops incl. Saturday street market. Train and bus transport hub, and plenty of places to explore a short distance away.

Liked the fact it has good public transport links to the Brecon Beacons the town itself looks a bit run down in places like many these days but had everything we needed with lots of things to do nearby. We enjoyed climbing Corn Du, Pen Y Fan, visiting Lyn Cwm Llwch, walking along parts of the Taff Trail, visiting The Brecon Mountain Railway, Cyfarthfa Castle and park as well as things further a field.

Great places to visit. We where only there for two nights. We enjoyed the waterfalls and the steam train ride. There are plenty of places to eat out.
We saw lots of cyclists whilst traveling in our car. Found the area very dog friendly which suited us .

Centre -lovely trails and views.
Also the Brecon Beacons were within easy reach.
We ate at Nant Ddu the first night and shared 3 tasty side dishes between us.
Not too far from 3 near locations where my Dad was born and lived in Penwhriceiber, Cefn Pennar and Mountain Ash. Able to visit as near.
We had such a wonderful stay in Merthyr Tydfil at this holiday home. The location is ideal to visit local attractions which are in abundance. We traveled around this beautiful part of the world - the scenery is simply glorious. There is plenty of parking for up to three cars which helps if you are a larger group or family. The garden is really well maintained and the view from the garden is lovely. The property is well laid out with an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area. There is also a separate lounge for those wanting to relax.
initially the rooms seemed quite small. on further inspection we found that they do have larger rooms but these were not available probably because we booked quite late. on reflection our room was just big enough for our requirements. the rooms are very clean, modern and well maintained. the owners really made our stay an amazing time, they were so friendly and professional and nothing was too much for them. the very best thing about the hotel was the food. breakfast was fantastic and dinner was equally good. we will return
Wonderful staff, all super friendly and couldn't be more accommodating with requests and help on the local area. We stayed in room 3 which was very clean and spacious and had a lovely view. The hotel is in a great location to explore everything the Brecon Beacons have to offer and is lovely and quiet which makes sleeping very easy and comfortable.
Breakfast service was great and the food was fresh and filling. Really great little B&B and amazing value for money. We will definitely be going back and recommending to all.

The house was perfect for what we needed.
Lovely and clean.
Communication from the owner was brilliant with clear instructions for contactless check-in.
The security was brilliant, especially with us bringing bikes as we were attending Bike Park Wales.
Lovely comfy beds and the house had all the little facilities that you forget you need but really appreciate.
Cannot recommend enough and will be staying here in future rather than using a chain hotel we usually stay with.
Fantastic location for what we were in the Brecon's for - hiking. Extremely easy to find and check in was stress free. Rooms were very spacious, clean and the amenities were great (especially the bath's in every room we had, full of cold water after a long day in the mountains!). Great breakfast and stroll down to the beautiful reservoir in the morning. Highly recommend!
We are an active family of 5 and the house suited us perfectly'. The house was fully furnished and in great condition and location! Gavin the owner was excellent and on call if we needed anything at all which we didn't. If we go to south wales again we will definitely book this property before going anywhere else! Can't fault this property at all. 👍👍
Loved the amount of space you get for parking and open space. Bike lockup was spot on and not noticable. Living room was great so was the kitchen. Bedrooms were spot on with a large bathroom. Location was fantastic. 10 minutes from BPW. Nice and quiet high up in the hills. We didn't struggle with takeaways. We'll definitely be back next year.
Restaurants food was exceptional. Carvery was same as other carveries in major chains but all food appeared to be home made. We gave the hotel restaurant a go on night 1 and went back again night 2. Staff were really friendly when you could find them as they all multitasked. Room size was great, both our rooms had double and single beds in.
A great location in a quiet spot, with lovely views across the valley. It was the perfect location for access to Merthyr Tydfil, and also to Bike Park Wales. Richard was really helpful in the lead up to the stay, and sent across all the information we needed to ensure everything was plain sailing from arrival to departure.
The house was big and spacious for us and very clean.The location was also good because its near the place we wanted to visit and it's walking distance to the shops and takeaway..The host was also very helpful.I will recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit South of wales
Lovely and really big outside space. It was pretty cold out, so it was amazing to be able to jump in the hot tub, especially after a long day hiking. The kitchen was well stocked with pretty much everything we needed, and the welcome basket was a nice touch!
Location was perfect for the Brecon Beacons and Bike Park Wales activities.
Bedroom and bathroom were very clean and tidy.
Breakfast was fantastic - many options available.
