    We like a bit firmer mattress, but otherwise nothing to complain about.

    The location was excellent. We had just finished a narrow boat holiday with Beacon Park Boats which is just a bit away. We also took day trips to the Big Pit Mine and to Stonehenge from The Horse Shoe Inn. Their restaurant/chef was wonderful! The pub was GRAND. The locals filled the place every night with their pups. The staff was lovely.

    Colleague didn't like plastic matress cover - not one on my bed. Could be more adventurous with real ale choice, by including local ales. Rear outside area could be better presented.

    Friendly local/staff with good beer and very good Jamaican Welsh cuisine - Jamaican chef 🇯🇲 Quiet location near the Brecon Canal. Good rooms with very well presented en suite.

    Newly refurbished room, spacious, clean, comfortable beds. The room is above a lively pub which was full of friendly people. The food was delicious and fairly priced.

    It was a Saturday night so was a bit noisy till 11pm but it’s what you’d expect at an inn.

    Quaint country inn, comfortable and with extra touches in room- water ready to drink and chocolate biscuits. Lovely walk down to river. Staff were friendly and helpful

    There was no breakfast available knowing how good the chef was.

    Staff were very helpful. We were allowed to drop off bags before going walking for the day. The caribbeanWelsh menu was a welcome change to the usual pub fare and the various meals that we all had were exceptional. Food was excellent.

    Loved everything about The Horseshoe

    What a delightful pub with rooms! The staff are great, friendly and efficient, nothing appearing to be too much trouble. I checked into room 2, which was lovely and comfortable, very clean, and ideal for my 2 night stay. The TV caused me great amusement, as it mysteriously switches itself on, in the wee small hours, so my suggestion is to switch it off at the plug socket! As I was visiting family, who live close by, we opted to dine in on Saturday evening. Oh my word, the dishes were delicious!! I chose the Coconut & Prawn curry served in half a pineapple, as did my sister, with my brother in law choosing the Beef Rib! The dishes have a Jamaican twist to them, using Welsh ingredients, I can't praise the dishes enough. Breakfast is continental, with lots to choose from. Fresh fruits, yoghurts, cereals, pastry items, bread to toast, crumpets, Welsh cakes, cheeses, hams, as well loads of hot beverage choices. A hot bacon roll is also available, which I can verify, was great. I will definitely stay again!

    Only two minor things: the toilet seat wasn't the right fit for the toilet pan and kept slipping around, and the shower leaked causing a spreading puddle on the floor.

    All staff were really friendly, the food was exceptional, the ale was well-kept and the pub itself was very cosy with the open fire going. Although there was no cooked breakfast available, the owner made us bacon rolls each morning.

    Shower cubicle & shower room itself was very small. No grip rail in shower to ease manoeuvres. Although it was suggested there would be noise from the pub below, it was infact the traffic that was very noisy. Steep stair climb from the car park & from the pub.

    Good stopover location for our onward trip. Good sized twin room, attractively decorated. Easy walk into Crickhowell. Good parking. Staff very friendly & helpful. Lovely breakfast & evening meal.
