    Warm welcome from the Proprietors Gail & Kevin, who were wonderful. Cosy, spotless room with great facilities and a super comfy bed. Delicious cooked breakfast every morning, lots of choice. Brilliant recommendations for places to visit. Fab location for exploring and walks. Gail really went the extra mile when she baked us an Anniversary cake to take home with us. We had a perfect Anniversary weekend.

    This Inn has the perfect location for discovering Brecon Beacons. It is very conveniently located, making it easy to access hikes, to visit local restaurants and pubs. But what stood out the most is the hospitality received from Gail; throughout our stay, she went above and beyond to help make our stay perfect. She has such a fantastic energy and it made our experience in Wales unforgettable. Thank you!

    Nothing!

    From the moment we arrived at Borderers Inn in Brecon, Gail, our host, made our stay exceptionally welcoming. She was not only attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable about the area, which added a personal touch to our experience. Gail graciously offered us a complimentary upgrade to a larger room upon our arrival. The room itself was a delight, boasting a very comfortable bed and well-functioning facilities, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. Breakfast at Borderers Inn was a daily highlight. Gail and Kevin prepared a full English breakfast that could be customised to our liking, ensuring each meal was to our taste. Additionally, she offered pancakes, cereals, fruits, and a selection of teas and coffees, catering to all palates. The location of the guesthouse is another great advantage. It's perfectly positioned for easy access to the centre of Brecon and close to Pen Y Fan for those looking to explore the natural beauty of the area. While the on-site parking is a bit snug—best suited for smaller vehicles—it's a minor consideration given the overall excellence of our stay. Gail's dedication to ensuring that we felt at home was evident throughout our visit. Nothing was too much trouble for her. We highly recommend Borderers Inn to anyone visiting Brecon, and we hope to return one day ourselves!

    A few things needed a little TLC in the room, some touching up of the decoration. One pair of curtains was weirdly long and dragged about a foot on the floor.

    Comfy bed. Great shower. Tea leaves provided in the room! Gail (host) was lovely. Very quiet at night. Lots of plug sockets. Extremely handy for the town.

    An excellent location, right in the heart of Brecon, but not too close to the centre of town as to be noisy. Bedroom and bathroom were perfectly sized for a couple, incredibly clean, well looked after and very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing, the perfect portion size, and with a really good variety of options and customisation. Gail is incredibly knowledgeable about Brecon, with loads of recommendations - I'd take her up on her advice! We will definitely be returning!

    Behaviour of some other guests was less than ideal one night - Gail very kindly made me a takeaway breakfast so I could catch up with lost sleep

    Gail is an exceptional hostess - very kind and interesting to talk to and knows how to make a great vegan breakfast. Brecon is an interesting town and the inn is well placed for exploring it. We enjoyed visiting the theatre, cathedral and museum/art gallery (all of which are minutes away on foot), going on a canal ride, and wandering around looking at some of the historic buildings, many of which have plaques.

    We loved it so much! Can’t wait to come back. Thank you Gale

    We love historical buildings and this old coaching Inn was built in the 17th century. We were thrilled to experience the quirky interiors!!! But also grateful for the freshly decorated interiors which are so much more comfortable than the 17th century (think indoor plumbing and cosy beds!). And oh we will miss those delicious breakfasts! As advised before booking, the car park is small, but we brought the small car because we were told about this early on!

    absolutely nothing, i enjoyed every single thing. I was warned about the car park before hand so it didn't matter as I found street side parking easily

    I had a very peaceful, relaxed break away, as there was one other room free, I was given a choice between the two. I think the next time i will call to ensure i get the ground floor room I had again. Breakfast was gorgeous, I didn't need to eat till dinner. I promised Gail i would comments about the car park in my review. Do not disregards Gail's warnings about the car park, it really is small, the building complex dates from 1645 and was built for horses and carriages. If your car is medium to large, then be warned you might not be able to park inside.
