Simple, clean and comfortable room. The host, Claire, was wonderful - great communication and she went out of her way to help me out during my stay (providing advice on local activities, storing bags, drying some wet clothes). Breakfast was excellent.

The location was convenient and the price was reasonable, which is the reason I had booked. There are places to eat nearby, according to google maps.

All of the Staff were very friendly and lovely, and the food was so nice. The Welsh Breakfast was very tasty, used good quality local ingredients. We had Scallops to start which were cooked to perfection. My partner had the Cod which was so succulent and full of flavour with a good portion. I had the monkfish which was a little over and the portion of the overall dish was small for the price, but the taste was lush! We didnt use the pool area but it looked nice from outside!
Perfectly situated within the Valley and on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the hotel’s location allows easy access to many of the sites of interest in the area.

This guesthouse is fantastic. Very close to the town and if you drive there is plenty of street parking. Everything about the room was lovely. Comfy beds and very clean. The room I was given had a kitchen with stove and washing machine...a nice surprise. Absolutely no complaints .

Definitely need a car to get around this area.
Definitely need a car to get around this area. Not quite the luxury I was looking for. Accomodation and breakfast where I stayed was fairly basic. Quite limited in eating out options too.
Managed to walk the Pen y Fan which was the highlight of my stay here.

Nice town with some lovely places to go for a drink and a bite to eat. Friendly bar with live music at the weekend. Also there is a Wetherspoon. The Zip World was only a 30 min drive away and is fantastic. Great scenery and walks near by.

Only stayed 2 days and then was at an event so not enough time to explore. However on an evening plenty of places to eat and drink. Tesco Extra and range of other shops incl. Saturday street market. Train and bus transport hub, and plenty of places to explore a short distance away.

Liked the fact it has good public transport links to the Brecon Beacons the town itself looks a bit run down in places like many these days but had everything we needed with lots of things to do nearby. We enjoyed climbing Corn Du, Pen Y Fan, visiting Lyn Cwm Llwch, walking along parts of the Taff Trail, visiting The Brecon Mountain Railway, Cyfarthfa Castle and park as well as things further a field.

Great places to visit. We where only there for two nights. We enjoyed the waterfalls and the steam train ride. There are plenty of places to eat out.

Centre -lovely trails and views.
Also the Brecon Beacons were within easy reach.
We ate at Nant Ddu the first night and shared 3 tasty side dishes between us.
Not too far from 3 near locations where my Dad was born and lived in Penwhriceiber, Cefn Pennar and Mountain Ash. Able to visit as near.
We had such a wonderful stay in Merthyr Tydfil at this holiday home. The location is ideal to visit local attractions which are in abundance. We traveled around this beautiful part of the world - the scenery is simply glorious. There is plenty of parking for up to three cars which helps if you are a larger group or family. The garden is really well maintained and the view from the garden is lovely. The property is well laid out with an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area. There is also a separate lounge for those wanting to relax.
* Comfy beds! Choice of soft or harder pillows.
* Room size! Nice sized bed and a sofa.
* Pool and Spa Facilities were great and ideal after a long day hiking.
* Free use of robes and towels - at other spas these have been chargeable, so this was a nice addition.
* Great food for breakfast and dinner - good dairy free options.
* Friendly and accommodating staff throughout the hotel, including check-in, spa bookings, and waiting staff.
* Ideal location for hiking Pen Y Fan.
* Picturesque rural location.
Excellent hosts sharing plenty of tips for hikes in this area and also other parts of Wales (Gower and St Davids). They also suggested the Big Pit National Coal museum, which I found a must-do to understand the industrial history of the area.
Excellent breakfast, lots of choice.
Comfortable bed and room. Very clean.
Also had a UK adapter in the room for charging devices (in case you'd forgotten it or wanted to charge multiple).
Parking on the premises.
The location was perfect for MB Wales and route 8 cycling path. Easy to get to by car from main routes. Great secure bike storage. Beds were very comfortable and a great shower. Parking directly outside of the property. Great view from the living room. Few minutes walk to a local shop. Would definitely recommend and we will be staying again when back in the area.
Great location, handy for the Brecon Beacons National Park and the local town Merthyr Tydfil.
Comfy, clean and spacious room with a nice view. Contained a mini fridge and the usual tea/coffee etc.
Very friendly and helpful staff all the way through our stay. The owner Moyra going out of her way to help us after we couldn’t make the first day of our stay.
Loved the amount of space you get for parking and open space. Bike lockup was spot on and not noticable. Living room was great so was the kitchen. Bedrooms were spot on with a large bathroom. Location was fantastic. 10 minutes from BPW. Nice and quiet high up in the hills. We didn't struggle with takeaways. We'll definitely be back next year.
This is a fantastic property to stay in. We loved the quirkiness, the games room was fantastic, the outdoor area was lovely, the beds were super comfy and the quality of the linen and towels equal to a hotel stay, plus dogs are welcome. Finally the home grown honey from the owners bees was a beautiful touch. We will definitely return.
excellent clean modern rooms with everything you might need. The staff were more than welcoming and were very accomodating to some problems we had. Lovely area and close to the places we needed including bike park Wales. Plenty of places to eat around the area, we very much enjoyed our stay.
The property is located within easy reach of many areas of interest in the Brecons - typically a 30 minute drive. There is an excellent Chinese take-away within 5 minutes walk from the property. The owner/manager did respond quickly to help when we needed to switch on the central heating.
The site is located a short distance to many of the trails in the Brecon Beacons, which is great if you want to go hiking but make sure you have dinner before returning home for the night as there are no restaurants nearby. The rooms were a good size and very quiet at night.
The hotel was quite and clean, location perfect for walking or hiking routes in Brecon Beacons, lots of parking space available. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Good breakfast served. Kettle, cups, tea and coffee were available in our room.
Perfectly located for Bike Park Wales, and a way better option than the camping sites and hotels. And cheaper than most of them with better facilities! Spacious, clean, great communication from the hosts. Will be looking to book again.
The Shed was the perfect location for our trip to Bike Park Wales. All self contained and warm and cosy on a V.cold November night! Lots of lovely little touches and good breakfast
Ideal place to stay. Clean room with smart TV and great to have the shared kitchen to be able to prepare food.
Will definitely stay again next time we have work in the area.
