Top Brecon Mountain Railway 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"

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."

Family Bungalow, Mountain Views, Pets Welcome

10/10 Excellent
