Great place to stay
I have stayed at the Sleeping Giant several times. All the rooms are superb, and having a great restaurant is a bonus. I have stayed in different rooms; the bigger ones are really special. All have air conditioning and outdoor sitting areas. The area around is also stunning.

We had a fantastic stay! The room was lovely with high end furnishings and facilities and large enough for our family of four.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food at the pub was delicious and the animals were a particular highlight for our children as well, especially Ronnie and Reggie, the talking parrots.
The hotel was well located with ample parking and there was plenty to do within close distance, including the Show Caves which was a great day out.
We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough! Would definitely stay again!

The hotel was unique and quirky, the decor was completely different to anything else and a lot of thought and effort had gone into the individuality of the rooms! Bed was so comfy and the rain shower was so refreshing…..after a long wet walk up Pen Y Fan it was more than appreciated!
Had a breakfast and an evening meal in the Peny Cae Inn, which we couldn’t fault in anyway, the food was amazing and the staff were so attentive and welcoming it was lovely!! Overall a truly wonderful stay and would highly reccomend!
