In the Castle

Of course, a review of hotels in Brecon would not be complete without a mention of Brecon Castle. Formerly an 11th century Norman Castle, renovated in 1809 to become one of the first ‘modern’ hotels in Wales, this truly historic hotel today offers comfort, luxury, fine foods and mountain views.

Staying here you get a very enjoyable mix of the old and the new, which is rather similar to the feel of the town itself. It has all the warmth and character of a coaching inn, a touch of the formality of a late Georgian hotel and still effortlessly provides all mod cons. You simply cannot help but marvel at The Regency Ballroom that comes complete with the medieval ruins of the castle attached.
