    Could not speak more highly of the warm, infectious hospitality our group received here. The whole staff went out of their way to provide recommendations (pubs, hikes, coffee you name it). Thanks a million!!

    Everything? 😂 Nothing we can't fault a thing.

    Everything, the staff, Laureen our greeter, very friendly and helpful, shame she is moving on soon. The breakfast crew were excellent too, sorry ladies I am no good with names but you know who you are! Keep up the good work. The room was spotlessly clean and very cosy.

    Showers were a bit luke warm in the evening but thankfully piping hot in the morning Basic things like some soap in the bathroom would have been nice .

    Breakfast was amazing 5 star . Very friendly and accommodating, allowing a late check out . Bed super comfy .

    Nothing to not like! Great location!

    Absolute lovely place! Came here for an early birthday adventure and I must say it was a fantastic time! A big shout out to Sophie for meeting us so late at the place! Not a lot of places have flexible check ins! Thank you Sophie! Absolutely loved my breakfast in the morning! Even if I didn't want to leave the really comfy bed!

    It would be ideal if there was a drying room or place for muddy / wet clothes to be stored

    Fabulous service with very friendly staff who can’t do enough to help. Great parking just behind the hotel for free Super large and freshly cooked breakfast included with fresh fruit and juice Ideal base for key Brecon walks straight from the hotel door Newly renovated rooms so all immaculately clean and tidy

    Room wasn’t serviced after night 1. I’m aware that some places in the post CV era now only service rooms if guests request this but I don’t recall being told if this was the case.

    Good location. Great breakfast. Pleasant staff.

    Our stay at Beacons Guest House was absolutely delightful. The room, with its blend of traditional charm and modern amenities from the recent refurbishment, exceeded all expectations. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating a cosy retreat. The location was perfect, offering easy access to nearby attractions and picturesque views. Furthermore, the breakfast provided was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, setting the tone for a wonderful day ahead. Additionally, the check-in process was seamless, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. I highly recommend Beacons Guest House for anyone seeking a charming and hassle-free getaway.

    Our hosts, Laura and Kenny were outstanding - they gave us so much info about which local hostelries - pubs and restaurants to use for a real local home cooked atmosphere. They were incredibly friendly and couldn't do enough to make our stay really fun and enjoyable. Breakfast excellent too.

    There is nothing to dislike.

    Laura is amazing, and a main reason for our plans to return. Very welcoming and knowledgeable, making my fiancee, with MS, feel very comfortable and unafraid to ask anything. The area was perfect for us and the actual building,/ amenities are second to none. We both cannot wait to come back.

    The floor was dirty- our socks were black within minutes. Wifi signal was also weak and unstable. We talked to a member of staff but he blamed it on the weather (it was raining) The manager gave us her number and said we could call at any time but when we tried there was no answer.

    Friendly staff and great location
