    I had the most wonderful stay at the Castle Hotel in Talgarth! It really didn’t feel like staying in a hotel, it felt more like staying with relatives. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by friendly faces and they remained that way for the duration of my stay. I came here with my dog for a little getaway from London, somewhere to clear my head and take some nice long walks in the Brecon Beacons. I got way more than that! Covid has made some travel more difficult but in this case it meant having the chance to get to know the wonderful team here who might otherwise have been too caught up doing things behind the scenes. Instead I had some lovely company on my solo trip and a comfortable, cosy stay. Thank you to Ian and the team for looking after me! I’ll definitely come back to see you all. Excellent place for anyone with a four-legged friend looking for a simple getaway and a convenient base from which to explore the beauty of Wales.…

    5 / 5 Excellent
    The hotel room was so cosy and lovely with a beautiful countryside view. We had room service, a bottle of Prosecco, which was really nice plus a lovely breakfast brought up to the room the next morning. The only thing I’d mention is that the cooked breakfasts are quite small, so when they give you the breakfast buffet choice sheet to fill in, put down a few choices so it’s enough. The staff were lovely too!…

    Excellent service and our hosts were brilliant, welcoming, helpful and charming, nothing too much trouble.

Eating out offers lots of variety from roast pork and stuffing rolls as you stroll along, to wonderful sit down meals, whether you are looking for traditional, to Indian or Spanish tapas. A great place to visit.…
