- Donna (10/5): Lovely Brecon Break - Very friendly welcome and pre arrival communications.Really sweet bedroom, good size and good quality furniture. Comfortable bed with chairs and little tables.

Breakfast was amazing, perfectly cooked.
- Bell (10/5): -
- john (9/5): -
- gaynor (5/5): Wouldn’t say it was worth money - Staff friendly Clean beds Corridors, gardens and communal areas poor. Breakfast just ok
- Sansho_UK (9/5): 大満足です - オーナーの応対が素晴らしく、とても気持ちよく滞在できました。家族3人で宿泊しましたが、設備として過不足なく快適に過ごせました(ダブルベッド×1、シングルベッド×2)。朝食もフルウェルシュブレックファーストがボリューム満点で、散策に必要なエネルギーが十分に補給できるものでした。 お湯の量が少し限られているのか、3人連続でシャワーを浴びたところ3人目は少し冷たかったとのことです。あと上階の足音がたまに気になることはありました。

- Michael (7/5): Expensive but clean. There was a selection of cereals and cooked breakfast available 08.00 - 09.00. - Room was clean. Off street parking and lounge available. Breakfast room could do with an upgrade, others thought it was cold. I appreciate its an old building though. It was expensive however most B&Bs in Brecon appear to be the same.
