Top Pontsticill Reservoir Hotel Reviews

Castle Hotel

8/10 Good

"the hotel is quiet old, but nice and clean... Peoples on reception are very kind and helpfull"

James Place @ Dowlais

10/10 Excellent

"It had everything we needed for a one nights stay. The only thing we couldn’t find was the switch for the heating as we did need to take the chill off now it’s getting cooler. Despite the fire alarm going off and no one knowing what to do at 5am we had a pleasant stay"

Nant Ddu Lodge Hotel & Spa by Belvilla

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, friendly staff and amazing breakfast!"

Llwyn Onn Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely Guesthouse to stay at in the Brecon Beacons. Moira was a delight and all the staff were really friendly, welcoming and very helpful in making suggestions on places we could go nearby. Great location too! I would definitely stay here again next time I am in the Brecons!"

Charming Cottage w/ Valley Views & BBQ Hut

8/10 Good

"Really fantastic and well furnished cottage. The location is great with 2 pubs within a 3 minute walk. The BBQ hut and outdoor seating is perfect and the kitchen had basics available like fruit teas, oil, salt, pepper ect. The only reason for no 5 stars is the bed in the second bedroom is a small double/large single and not big enough for 2 adults. There is also no gate on the front garden seating area which meets directly to the road, so inappropriate for dogs. I would however stay again but only as a couple."
